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 Banana Republic Factory Store Shopping Experience

Devin and Andy visit a Banana Republic Factory Store. Are old Banana Republic catalogs the real Great American Novel? At what age does a Newsies-style cap stop being ironic? Should a factory store offer a more affordable version of its big sibling’s styles, or be more of its own thing? Why can’t even AI figure out when Banana Republic Factory started? When culturally important chain stores close or radically change, should one location be preserved for posterity? Is the handkerchief ready for a comeback??
