About this listen

 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.Devin McIntyre and Andy Selsberg

    The Locavore Variety Store Shopping Experience
    Jul 11 2025
    Devin and Andy visit The Locavore Variety Store in the West Village, Manhattan: a shop where nearly everything for sale is made within 100 miles. Is the artist as pencil sharpener present? Is the pencil the last honest object? Is there room for a nut company that doesn't use suggestive nut puns? What weird things do people want to do with/to a barrel of pickles? Do we need a movement to bring back the community bulletin board? Who is using the tester lip balm??The Locavore Variety Store siteNYPost story about The Locavore Variety StorePizza Suds dish soapJoray Fruit Rolls WiffleSpaghetti DustCourt Street GrocersTube WringerThe Death of Ferdinand de Saussure by The Magnetic FieldsBeautiful Bazzini PistachiosBig League ChewGeneral Pencil CompanyNail clippers: No-Mes (NY), EDJY (Detroit), Green Bell (Japan)Schaller & WeberThe Matzo ProjectFull Carts Social: Bluesky, InstagramTheme music by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jed Becker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, cover art by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Margaret Flatley⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, music insertion by Skye MacLeodContact: FullCartsPod@gmail.com

    The Infomercial/Home Shopping Shopping Experience
    Jun 28 2025

    Devin and Andy visit and revisit classic infomercials and Home Shopping sales pitches. But wait, there’s more! Is the infomercial dead, or has it simply been struck down and gone on to become more powerful than we can possibly imagine? Will a new Ron Popeil or ShamWoW Vince rise to sell us on gadget bliss? Is something a true scam if (almost) everyone knows it’s a scam? Probably! Does the rich satirical culture bequeathed by the infomercial make its flaws worthwhile? Are we doomed to forever search for devices that make food preparation slightly more convenient? Are operators still standing by??

  • The Uniqlo Shopping Experience

    The Uniqlo Shopping Experience
    Jun 11 2025

    Devin, Andy and guest Leslie Price (co-founder of Gloria) discuss Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo after a cold, cold open. Is Uniqlo’s Lifewear catalog a pretty decent magazine? Does the Uniqlo checkout, whether conscientiously handing back a credit card, or utilizing RFD tags, indicate a considered peak of customer service? Is a flagship a different store, essentially? Can an app’s sizing tech ever approach an actual changing room? Has Uniqlo digested Prep values—from Take Ivy to The Official Preppy Handbook to J. Crew—and created a superlative version of the style? Is their website confusing, or is any problem likely with the user? What is the right way to pronounce Uniqlo??
