Green Eggs & Dan

Join the hosts of Add to Cart, comedian-writer-director Kulap Vilaysack and veteran journalist SuChin Pak, in a subversive take on consumerism. Each week, they have honest, revealing (sometimes TMI) conversations about all the big and little things they’re adding to, or removing from, their carts. They decide what's worth the monetary/emotional investment, and what's not. From beauty products and health trends, to celebrities and philosophies they’re passionate about, our hosts dig into anything we buy into and what it says about who we are. Dan Ahdoot is on a mission to never add to cart again – by getting everything for free! He takes the aunties on a journey of sliding into every company’s DMs, with varied results. As he climbs the influencer ladder by promoting hot sauces and tuna, the final frontier of brands lies in wait. Please note, Add To Cart contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.
