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.
Carters, our holiday gift to you: we’re sharing a few of our favorite premium episodes! Featuring: Labubus, Ku’s huge balls, crying Tik Tok makeup and much more. Thanks for listening to another year of Add to Cart.

He’s back and he’s got a sleigh full of gift ideas for everyone on your list! No one can get the aunties in the spirit quite like Santa Paul Scheer and he delivers again this year with a wide assortment of practical, pop-culture infused presents. Sure, there’s plenty of gadgets and nerdy stuff in there, but there’s also gifts for the people who have you stumped. Santa Paul discusses the patience and presentation needed to pull off the gift of a streaming subscription and why he may never need to buy another birthday card. This holly, jolly highlight of the holiday season proves, yet again, why Paul Scheer himself is the gift that keeps on giving.

Happy Holidays Carters! We're gifting you Friday extrasodes this holiday season. Today, we want to introduce you to another Lemonada Media show the Aunties are loving. You know Ku and Su are living their midlife exactly how they want it. But that comes with a lot of changes (like...cold flashes?!) My So-Called Midlife is all about this era, and hosted by Reshma Saujani, CEO of Girls Who Code. Even as a mom with a shining CV to boot, Reshma is wondering "...Is this it?" So she's calling in reinforcements to figure it out. First up to bat is Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who is about to officially graduate from midlife. At 63, she can confidently say that the last thirty years were… great, actually! Is it because she won multiple Emmys? Or maybe because she called out age biases in Hollywood by starring in Amy Schumer’s Last F*ckable Day? Well, along with these milestones, Julia suffered a ton of loss and hardship in her 50s. So why does she say it's her best decade? It’s all about the mindset. Plus, why Julia has 15,000 unread emails in her inbox -- and doesn't care.
Find Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Instagram @officialjld and listen to her podcast, Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Let us know how you’re doing in midlife! You can submit your story to be included in this show at speakpipe.com/midlife
