Add to Cart with Kulap Vilaysack & SuChin Pak
Kulap Vilaysack & SuChin Pak
SuChin Pak and Kulap Vilaysack host the award-winning weekly comedy podcast, Add to Cart, a podcast about the things we buy, the things we buy into, and what it says about who we are. Every episode the real life friends and self proclaimed Aunties to all, have honest, revealing (and sometimes TMI) conversations about all the big and little things they’re adding to, or removing from, their carts. From sharing what serums they slather on their faces to parenting philosophies, what they’re binging and what products are game changers… the “cart” is a larger metaphor for theirs and their guests' lives.

Listen to This: SuChin Pak on V Interesting
Missing the aunties in your lives? Have no fear, we’re sharing an episode of V Interesting featuring our very own SuChin Pak. In light of big media personalities getting booted from their platforms and other outlets shutting their doors, V discusses the phenomenon of news deserts and where to find good information in spite of this. Plus, they run through the pros and cons of broadcasting one’s relationship status to the world. V then sits down with MTV trailblazer and veteran journalist SuChin Pak to discuss the value of connecting with curious audiences, especially before social media. SuChin, who now co-hosts Lemonada’s podcast Add To Cart, gets honest about what it’s been like to transition from reporting hard news to chatting about shopping from the comfort of her home. (Spoiler alert: it’s only in the latter that she’s been able to, as she says, truly embrace her auntie behavior.) Check out Add To Cart wherever you get your podcasts, and follow SuChin on Twitter at @suchinpak and on Instagram at @addtocartpod.
