This week, we're bringing you something special: an episode from Add to Cart, a show we love hosted by Kulap Vilaysack and SuChin Pak. You might remember Kulap when she was a guest on our show back in 2018, where she bravely unpacked her childhood trauma and shared how it led to her documentary film. Add to Cart is a witty, subversive take on consumerism. Each week, Kulap and SuChin have candid (and often TMI) conversations about what they're adding to or removing from their carts—whether it's products, people, trends, or philosophies.

Vicky talks about going from boat refugee to national TV and why the R is for refuse in her household.
