Full Carts

Full Carts is a podcast about shopping experiences. In each episode, hosts Devin and Andy visit a store and discuss what it was like, along with any thoughts and memories that get churned up. They then distill their observations into a highly subjective Cart Score of 1-4 Carts: How well did it work for them? The show is founded on an appreciation of the desire to understand, express, and improve ourselves through our things, and an affection for the people and places behind memorable shopping moments. Affable consumption under capitalism.

    The Japanese Grocery and Gift Shop Shopping Experience: Part 1

    In part 1 of a two-parter, the Full Cart Fellows check out the Gift Shop half of Ten Ichi Mart, a Japanese Grocery/Gift Shop. “Don’t Call It An ‘Ethnic’ Grocery Store,” urges the NYTimes (also: can we get a framed print of that lead image of an array of ramen??) Is a Zojirushi rice cooker worth it? What’s the difference between a variety store, gift shop, and “treat store”? How much stuff is too much stuff, and who would decide how many hoodies or magnets everyone gets? Is that a banana slicer in your shopping basket? What’s the coolest backpack dangler? Who’s intimidated by recipes that call for you to do something “quickly”??

    The Fishs Eddy Shopping Experience

    After a stop at lunch hotspot S&P, Devin and Andy check out eclectic New York dishware shop Fishs Eddy. Should all stores have their own graphic memoir? Where do you fall on the cheeky-to-bawdy scale? How much should an irregular dinner bowl cost? Should prices correspond directly to display style? Are we at peak pet portrait? How best to commemorate the Metrocard as it is sunsetted? How cool is it that instead of being a gift shop inside of a museum, Fishs Eddy is a great store for gifts that has its own museum?? A few links: Fishs Eddy x Susan Alexandra collab Fishs Eddy x Charlie Harper and Todd Oldham collab Disorder by Will Oldham  Do You Know the Way to San Jose? by Dionne Warwick Social: ⁠Bluesky⁠, ⁠Instagram⁠ Theme music by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jed Becker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, cover art by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Margaret Flatley⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, music inserting by Skye MacLeod Contact: FullCartsPod@gmail.com

    The YETI Store Shopping Experience

    Devin and Andy visit the YETI NYC store and meditate on cult coolers and insulated drinkware. What if it turns out the bear from the company that tests products for bear-proofness is just someone in a bear suit? Is Texas band Khruangbin (whose name is the Thai word for airplane, which Devin started to say) the ideal in-store music for Yeti? How big can the Yeti tent get without collapsing? What color is your Yeti Loadout bucket, metaphorically? Is Yeti Rambler vs. Stanley Tumbler our most vital rivalry?? 2016 SBNation article on Yeti Yahoo Finance article about opening of Yeti New York City Theme music by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jed Becker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, cover art by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Margaret Flatley⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, music inserting by Skye MacLeod Contact: FullCartsPod@gmail.com

    The Five Below Shopping Experience

    Devin and Andy visit allowance store/doodad emporium Five Below. Is it succeeding at its napkin-writ founding mission statement of  “You can always say ‘yes’ to the trendiest coolest high-quality stuff that you just gotta have”? Does the Dribble Zone, an in-store space where ball-bouncing is encouraged, show that we can exist freely and follow rules, a kind of mini social contract in action? What should a Scrub Daddy cost? Could the cozy-coded seasonal section win over Grinches? Is this in fact the best candy store chain in the country, and are they intentionally putting the old-coded candy behind a pillar? Is this Doritos puzzle a "gotta have" item??   Hackensack by Fountains of Wayne  Theme music by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jed Becker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, cover art by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Margaret Flatley⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, music pasting by Skye MacLeod Contact: FullCartsPod@gmail.com

    The Wilson Flagship Shopping Experience

    Devin and Andy check out the new(ish) Wilson Sporting Goods flagship in SoHo. Is figuring out a way to play tennis in NYC a sport in and of itself? How cool is the playground/park in this store? Can more than one guy in a neighborhood be retro-headband guy? What do we think of lounge spaces in stores? Are the books in back for sale, and do you have a copy of Budge on Tennis?

    The H&M Shopping Experience

    After a thrilling cold open, Devin and Andy discuss Swedish clothing chain H&M. How important is a store’s soundtrack? How much weight should you give a brand’s ranking from Good on You, a website that assesses fashion label ethics? (A food version of this is Yuka.) Is this a great time for panda dupes? Why are children's clothing departments so much more fun than what's out for adults? How is an H&M store like Central Park? Who’s up for a pillow basketball league?

    The Target Shopping Experience

    Devin and Andy go to TARGET. Is the 2004 opening of the first Brooklyn Target a perfect encapsulation of a certain slice of aughts culture, with multiple Sevignys, as well as albino snakes? Where would fashion be without designer x mass retailer collaborations, started by Target and Isaac Mizrahi? What is the ideal size for a Target? (Hint: prob not 200,000 sq ft.) Do Target groceries make sense? Will the Lego be locked up indefinitely? Where did that guy get that tiny ICEE cup, and can the science fiction of Ray Bradbury help us here??

    The Dave & Buster's Shopping Experience

    Devin and Andy discuss a visit to Dave & Buster’s. Is the Times Square D&B a perfect fulcrum between seedy 1970s Times Square and the Disneyfied Times Square of the aughts? How much fun is too much fun? Are we in it for playing games or winning tickets? Which prizes are a good deal? Should Dave & Buster's have quiet time? Have we hit on the ideal blend of ancient carnival games with dazzling modern tech? Did Devin just coin the phrase “corporate folk wisdom”?
