This podcast is fun, lighthearted, and interesting. It has certainly shed light on my motivations when making purchases and given me things to reflect on regarding my buying behavior.

Another topic I’d be interested in learning more about is luxury colognes/pe... more
This podcast is delightful! Full of useful information and humour. It’s light enough to listen to for fun, but deep enough to feel like it’s time well spent. My favourite podcast. Please, please, please record some more episodes!
What a great blend of history, culture, psychology and economics - executed by two whip-smart, curious and wide-ranging hosts. It makes sense of the meaning of shopping, consumer culture, social hierarchies and so on. And it’s funny!
Started following on IG as I really enjoyed the snippets. Enjoying exploring psychology and human behaviours.
Excellent podcast, would highly recommend
Lots of very interesting things to mull over about ourselves and others. Will have you considering the behaviors and thought processes of our purchases and wants/needs. Light hearted, entertaining, and informative.
I enjoy the banter and learned a new perspective. Looking forward to more.
Paul and Helen are the voice of reason in the TikTok space. Together in this Podcast it is no different. But I wasn’t expecting to laugh so much which has been a pure joy! I can’t wait to listen to more as they continue!
Highly recommend.
