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.
