Why are there so few and sporadic episodes? Please create more!

They have a bizarrely jubilant theme song for a show that’s usually talking about the death of an industry. Love the show. Hate the theme song.

This is so sneaky good. At first you think it may just be a show about populat clothing trends or something like that, but really it's a pop culture/economics/fashion/electronics lesson all rolled into one. So informative and interesting, you learn something different and cool in every episode. Absolutely in my must-listen lineup every week. Keep it up guys!

I work in the retail industry, so this podcast is super relatable and informative. Would love a 5 min retail news brief each show as well!

I have been a subscriber to the podcast from almost the very beginning and I have enjoyed it. I have to write in and say, however, that the episode which appeared this week on "Having a Baby Never Cost So Much" put me off. I have one child. My wife and I, at the time of our child's birth 9 years ago, were both college graduates with middle class jobs. Combined, we made more than the national median income. We had few extravagances but we tried to make sure our child had nice things. For two working parents decidedly in the middle class, having a child was nevertheless financially almost-ruinous. By the time we were done with diapers and day care, we were heavily in debt. It took a couple years and a big jump in income for us to catch up financially. That is prologue to say that your episode on having a baby came from such a tremendous place of unacknowledged privilege on such a sensitive topic, that it set me off. Parents want to give their children the very best. They certainly don't want to think they are not giving their children every opportunity to have a fulfilling life. And there is the darker side of "competitive parenting" where people judge each other on parenting styles, sacrifices made, material wealth, etc. Except in the title, this episode never seemed to acknowledge just how many people are priced out of the world it described. We were middle class, buying Target and Dollar General diapers and still suffering mounting debt. The idea of paying extra for premium diapers and the other things you talked about in this episode would have been ludicrous to us, yet this episode treated it as just another thing conscientious parents do. (And conversely, that non conscientious parents don't do). And to top it off, the very last line of the podcast talked about this being a part of giving your kids the best start in life, intentionally or nonintentionally alluding to the competitive parenting that has plagued American culture in the last decade or so. I'm going to keep listening, but I would advise the producers to be mindful of checking their privilege. Note, I would have preferred not to give a rating at all, but iTunes is making me in order to publish this. I would give the podcast 4 stars prior to now but bumped it down because of this episode.

I love how the podcast licks interesting and hidden issues. They present the material from the business and economics perspective, which makes me feel like I become more educated in the field :)

Enlightening and a pleasure listening to!

I really enjoy these podcasts, I think it would be interesting to hear more personal opinions rather than the interview setup that they hosts do. They do have great guests on the topics being covered check it out!

What a fantastic show! I'm loving it so far and I can't wait to hear more.

I love it, it's always so interesting but two weeks really! One episode every two weeks!? I love it but because it is every two weeks sometime I forget about it. So more Espinosa please guys.

This podcast is such a delight. Even though this isn't a topic I thought I had any innate interest in, the hosts do a great job showing how consumer trends affect everyday life, and creating a podcast that feels both rigorous and fun. I've also been so impressed with how thoughtfully they address topics of race, gender, and socioeconomic class and their intersections with business and retail. Would highly recommend to anyone who buys things!

Fans of podcasts like NPR's Planet Money will love Material World. Jenny and Lindsey are excellent reporters who do a great job of discussing topical, interesting subjects in a fresh and relatable way. A new favorite!

I love educational podcasts with a mix of entertainment. These ladies know their stuff without losing my attention. I've been recommending to friends and family!

I had such high hopes-- a podcast on food and drinks but it's a dud. I only listened to hustling food trucks. This had so much potential but it was more of a boring how to for dummies and a secret bra on wheels commercial. How is this even news or a story? All the info was the top hits on Google presented in a format c-span can rival. With that said, I never produced a podcast but I am a avid listener.

Congratulations to the hosts of this podcast, I love it! It's the best! Can't wait to hear more from these ladies. Unsubscribe from all other podcasts, this is the best!

Had a friend recommend this. So far so good. Good mix of reporting and some laughs. During the episode on the pot industry, they talk to Cheech!

Fun AND informative!

Very insightful. Great interview with activist from Alaska

This show keeps getting better and better! A must-listen.

Great guests, interesting topics and lively commentary.

I've never rated a podcast before, but I have to say thanks to the first podcast I've heard that both demonstrated that artisinal ice cream brands don't matter and informing me that Hanson went into the brewery business.

Love the first two episodes. What a fresh and interesting take on the things we buy everyday! Can't wait to hear more!

You had me at "derelicte".

So excited to hear more from these two! Loved the first episode.

I listened to the first ep and felt like I was being sold to. If it's all sponsored content (i.e., Hanson's beer co.) you should reveal it explicitly. If not, i am wrong and sorry, but I was turned off big time. A big blehhhh on the rah-rah celebration of this already too-materialistic culture.

Fun, fresh, insightful! I would totally hang out with these girls

Funny and informative. Subscribe today! A must-listen!

Hard-hitting stuff! A must-listen!

Great content! Very interesting take on the Craft industry, loved the show!

Loved listening this deep dive into craft. the hosts are engaging and thoughtful, and it raised a lot of issues about the line between success and selling out that i hadn’t thought about. Looking forward to the booze and drugs ep!

Have wondered about the explosion of Craft products and this fun podcast answered all my questions. Loved it and loved the hosts!

Love the spin this show has! Hanson was totally unexpected as a guest but the taste test was hilarious. Bring on more episodes.

What a pleasant surprise! Never knew Hanson were so eloquent. Can't wait to hear the next episode!

Love the hosts! Great episode. Can't wait for more.

Yaaaaaaaas. Loved episode 1! So excited for the next one!

I'm so excited to be a subscriber. From the short preview, the podcast already seems the perfect combination of intelligence and wit. Cannot wait to start listening!

Show sounds interesting! Subscribed!

The preview has definitely stirred my interest and I look forward to hearing the first full show.

Super excited to hear more.
