Comedian-writer-director Kulap Vilaysack and veteran journalist SuChin Pak’s 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.
To All the Dads We Loved Before (with Anthony Rotunno)
Nothing says Fathers Day better than a crisp, handwritten letter on heavyweight stationary. Or a perfect fitting linen shirt. Or really anything suggested by Anthony Rotunno, the classiest, most sophisticated non-dad to be a guest on the show. Plus, Ku and Su go over their own Father’s Day finds and feelings.

Together in the Land of Oprah and Olive Oil (with Alison Rosen)
For the first time in the history of Add to Cart, SuChin and Kulap recorded this episode in the same room. Kulap could see the sweat form on SuChin’s hairline as she talked about her dentist appointment, while SuChin saw mist form over Kulap’s eyes as she talked about her pillows. Plus, the two are joined (via Zoom, sadly) by Alison Rosen, who brings a new item from the iconic Dr. Tungs.
Maybe we should add a disclaimer for SuChin because her brain is FOGGY from her second vaccine shot. But, TBH it makes all of her add to carts better. As for Kulap, she is on a roll. A sexy roll. A sexy pillow roll. Okay, she bought a sex pillow. The two talk about what happens in their various states of fever, sexy or not. Plus, Poise Pads are back!
Wrap Me in a Burrito Blanket and Rock Me
We won a Webby Award!!! And Kulap celebrated her birthday! With real life friends! So, great things are happening, but that also means being honest with how we feel about life picking up again. So SuChin is adding to cart the kind of decision maker she is, especially with her husband Mike. Kulap is adding to cart her first restaurant meals. Plus, the last (but not actually) add to carts for AAPI Heritage Month.
Can I Have Sex with That? (with Mic Nguyen and Fumi Abe)
Get ready to hear the dual forces of Add to Cart and Asian Not Asian combine to create a Podcasting Power Ranger Megazord! Kulap and SuChin are joined by self-described heavy shopper Mic Nguyen and TikTok-influenced Fumi Abe. Together they talk about the guys’ most recent add to carts: Mic’s love of stocking up for his vacations with his REI membership (NYC Branch) and Fumi’s preference for the very hip condoms of your average Brooklyn guy. These are only the beginning.
We Want to Be Held (by Laura Iz)
Photographer, author, and dream mom Laura Iz joins Ku and Su to share her curated Add to Cart list. Honestly, this woman named her kids after an iconic 90’s hip hop duo so it doesn’t feel like there is much more to include to get you to listen to this episode. We just….love her. Plus, Ku and Su both learn something new about each another, which feels surprising considering how personal things get each week.
Fully Vaxxed, Fully Waxed — Happy AAPIHM and Mother’s Day!
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Sunday is Mother’s Day! People are getting vaccinated to varying degrees and, according to SuChin and Kulap, wax(cinated?) to varying degrees! With so much to celebrate, this episode is packed with add to carts ranging from flowers to food to the cutest massager you’ve ever seen.
Sorry, What’s “Fashion”? (With Abby Arad and Michelle Collins)
Who needs Paris Fashion Week when you have two amazing ladies to tell you how to dress yourself after 14 months of, well, not. First is stylist Abby Arad, who gives Add to Cart listeners a full on post-pandy outfit to wear out in the world. Then, Michelle Collins comes on to tell us where to get the most bang for your (stimulus check) buck. Michelle has been deemed a Shopping Warrior by stores around the world, and has tips you absolutely want to listen to. Join us for our Spring Fashion Episode.
Chriselle Lim Says You Can Put Vagina Cream All Over
Beauty rules be damned! Digital content creator and entrepreneur Chriselle Lim is here to teach us if your lotion smells good and absorbs perfectly into your skin, it doesn’t matter if it’s meant to plumpen your labia. We’re using it on our elbows and everywhere else! Plus, SuChin and Kulap break down the newly sparked conversation around the TV episode that launched Kulap’s early acting career.
