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.

Eve’s That Girl
Trailblazer and hip-hop sensation Eve Cooper is on the mic today to talk about her new memoir “Who’s That Girl?” Ambitious and fearlessly determined, Eve recounts her rise to stardom and struggles in a male dominated industry – something the Aunties know well. She talks about trusting her instincts, working with people who have wronged you, and connects with Ku about her fertility journey. Then, they dive into her cart, and Eve shares why she loves a sea salt body scrub (but not in her ice cream.) Thank you to our sponsor Sans Savon - an eco friendly cleansing company.

The Goblin Has Returned From Korea
The Aunties are reunited after a month apart! Su has returned from the homeland in goblin mode, and there’s more to unpack than the checked bags.
