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 Chelsea Market Shopping Experience
    Apr 27 2026

    Devin and Andy visit Manhattan’s Chelsea Market, a popular food and shopping destination in the former National Biscuit Company factory. What is the meaning of merch for niche locations? What’s the proper way to honor the birthplace of the Oreo? How well does soup travel on the subway? What is a sample sale these days? Are there enough places to sit? Should a mall fountain be soothing, or a gushing tribute to the art and industry of America?

    The Retro DVD/Movie Store Shopping Experience
    Mar 7 2026
    Thomas Star joins Devin and Andy to discuss Night Owl Video, a shop in Williamsburg’s Analog Alley that sells new and used DVDs, VHS tapes, and related merchandise. Are digital video discs considered analog now? Is Blockbuster now quaint? Can a movie collection be as clear a window into character as a music collection? If you’re going to buy someone DVDs as a gift, do you have to get them a player first? How are these guys spending so much time talking about movies they haven 't seen? Can we separate the art from the artist? If Night Owl does put in a beaded back room, what should be in it??So Many Links:Color matching gameLocavore quest for TV/VCR comboTromaAce’s Pizza Blockbuster Training VideoTwisted Spine20-SidedKing of the Nerds showNashville trailerHard Eight trailerHundreds of Beavers trailerNight at the Museum trailerJohnny Dangerously trailerRevenge of the Nerds pilotC'mon C'mon trailerExcerpt from Louie “Duckling” episodePauli Gee’s pizzaL’Industrie PizzaRain City Video closureFull Carts Social: Bluesky, InstagramTheme music by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jed Becker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, cover art by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Margaret Flatley⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, music insertion by Skye MacLeodContact: FullCartsPod@gmail.com

  • The Trader Joe's Shopping Experience

    The Trader Joe's Shopping Experience
    Feb 1 2026

    Leslie Price (A&F and Uniqlo) joins Devin and Andy again to talk about the Trader Joe’s shopping experience. Is TJ’s inspired by Tiki culture, nautical culture, or old-time whimsy? Do you know the meaning of the store bells? Has TJ's solved the issue of line stress? Has Trader Joe’s also done the impossible and made a store brand something that’s a good value and worth seeking out? Are you someone who sees the cart half-full of dairy, or half-full of lactose??
