Where do our donated clothes end up? - a podcast by Marketplace

Every year, Americans donate millions of pounds of clothing to Goodwill, including one of our listeners, who wondered, “When I drop stuff off at Goodwill, where does it go?” We’ve got an answer for that one, as well as more listener questions about  economic sanctions and a predictable story about a common and increasingly pricey cooking ingredient.

Here’s a look at everything we talked about on the show today:

• “How Fed Hikes Could Affect Mortgages, Car Loans, Card Rates” from U.S. News & World Report


• U.S., allies raise sanctions pressure on Russia ahead of U.N. showdown over Ukraine from NBC News


• “US keeps imposing sanctions, but how well do they work?” from CNN


• “A Boom Time for U.S. Sanctions” from The Atlantic


• “Here’s what Goodwill really does with the stuff you donate” from The Seattle Times


• “Don’t forget the garlic (industry)” from Marketplace


• “Here’s Something That You Will Think Stinks: High Garlic Prices” from The Wall Street Journal
