Add to Cart with Kulap Vilaysack & SuChin Pak
Lemonada Media
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.

The Algorithm is Gonna Get Ya
In the most low-key “woman vs. robot” showdown ever, Ku’s targeted ads face off against SuChin’s latest handpicked game-changers. Ku is swaddling Eme in luxury baby comforts, courtesy of some well-aimed Instagram ads. Plus, she has one item that throws Su for a loop — and it’s not the dancing cactus. Su is being influenced by the OG algorithm (podcasters and friends) and has a new SPF to shield her skin during those daily sun baths. She also has the perfect bagel recs for our gluten-free friends out there. Data-gobbling ads or no, the aunties learn a lot about each other.
