The Aunties make a big announcement about the future of the podcast.

Sign up for Auntie updates at addtocart.world. In the meantime, we are leaving you with an entire month of some of the best episodes and guests ever. So this is going to be a long June goodbye and a love letter to all you gorgeous Carters...

This week we revisit Sherry Cola stepping straight out of the big screen into the Add to Cart universe. The “JOY RIDE” actress reflects on the importance of seeing Asian women fully represented as their wild, raunchy and hilarious selves. In the spirit of being true to yourself, Sherry dishes on her favorite Asian snacks and why her Hello Kitty subscription box is self-care. She also shares how she’s finding her zen, and why she’s removing from cart saying “yes” (but not to this podcast!)

This week we bring you an episode from one of our favorite podcasts, The Longest Shortest Time, which features bold, poignant, funny stories about parenthood and reproductive health. Kulap was a guest in 2018! You can find her episode here. CJ Rivers had always dreamed of being a dad. But as a single person with a uterus who also dates people with uteruses, the path to parenthood was logistically tricky. In this episode, we follow CJ's road to dadhood — including sperm mishaps, blatant discrimination, and an underground group of queer midwives in Athens. Buckle up, because this ride is a wild one!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s our first Auntie Book Club of the year with the incredible memoir Boat Baby by Vicky Nguyen. But we start with why Su is feeling wolverine-level insane and a book pick that is making her feel less insane. Plus Ku and her friends go hard (yet again) on game night, complete with costume change. Author Vicky Nguyen talks about going from boat refugee to national TV and why the R is for refuse in her household.

Prompted by a DM from a listener who asked for alternative brands for the home, Auntie Ku & Su come to the rescue with a list of brands that may curb your Amazon and Target addiction.  Su focuses on the home and Ku has major fun recreational shopping with Eme and together, they are trying to find joy through “protest shopping”...which may or may not be a thing, but here on the pod, it’s our preferred form of resistance.  Please note, Add To Cart contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.  To see all products mentioned in this episode, head to @addtocartpod on Instagram.
