**Throwing Fits** is a [menswear](/source/Menswear) and culture [podcast](/source/Podcast) created by James Harris and Lawrence Schlossman in 2020. The show features interviews with guests from the entertainment, fashion, and media industries.[1]

## History

Harris and Schlossman met in 2011 while working at a fashion public relations and event agency.[1][2] In 2012, and both joined [Complex Media](/source/Complex_Networks), where they launched the video series, *Fashion Bros* in 2014.[3] Their podcast began in 2016, as a side project recorded at [Grailed](/source/GOAT_Group#Grailed), where Schlossman was brand director.[1] The show, originally titled *Failing Upwards*, and was acquired by [Barstool Sports](/source/Barstool_Sports) in 2017.[3] After leaving Barstool due to disagreements about the business and its shared advertising revenue model, the hosts rebranded the podcast as *Throwing Fits* in 2020.[3][1][4]

## Collaborations and projects

In 2023, the show partnered with GANT to present a curated archive installation in New York City.[5][6]

In 2024, Harris and Schlossman worked with online menswear retailer [Mr Porter](/source/MR_PORTER) to curate 74 items of apparel, accessories, and footwear from 13 brands, and produced a selection of Throwing Fits merchandise.[7]

In the same year, the hosts partnered with [C.P. Company](/source/C.P._Company) on a capsule collection.[8][9]
