The Best of Add to Cart: Let's Go Cartin' with Phoebe Robinson

7/15/2025
Just when we thought Ku and Su were the queens of adding to cart, in walks writer, producer, actor, and comedian Phoebe Robinson. She introduces a whole new term, “cartin,” teaches Ku and Su that you can actually max out a shopping cart online, and then brings it back to earth with her three picks for the show. Plus, Su tries to slow down and Ku tries to find the source of a long-lasting headache. Please note, Add To Cart contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.

Introducing: The Longest Shortest Time

4/29/2025
This week we bring you an episode from one of our favorite podcasts, The Longest Shortest Time, which features bold, poignant, funny stories about parenthood and reproductive health. Kulap was a guest in 2018! You can find her episode here. CJ Rivers had always dreamed of being a dad. But as a single person with a uterus who also dates people with uteruses, the path to parenthood was logistically tricky. In this episode, we follow CJ's road to dadhood — including sperm mishaps, blatant discrimination, and an underground group of queer midwives in Athens. Buckle up, because this ride is a wild one!
