I’m new to podcast listening and I love Trader Joe’s, so this has been a fun show to discover out of the gates. The hosts are fun and you can tell that they love working at Trader Joe’s!
Also I read the book “Becoming Trader Joe” and it is fabulous!

Entertaining podcast that’s very informative about a place I watched go from wine, cheese, chocolate, nuts to the place it is today! You can step into any TJ and feel like you are home.

I already loved Trader Joe’s and have been a loyal shopper for about 5 years, but this podcast just makes me love them even more! I love learning more about the products and how they are created and sourced. It’s also really great to hear from all of the Trader Joe’s employees in various positions. The culture Trader Joe’s has created is truly unmatched. Thank you for making such a wonderful impact on our world!

I’ve enjoyed shopping at Trader Joe’s but the warm vibe of this podcast does NOT match all the Union busting the company is doing. Very disappointed in this company, the hosts who are high up members of the TJ’s team, and all involved. Bummed I’ll have to stop shopping at a store I love until they support their worker’s right to unionize.

This podcast singlehandedly turned a TJs fan into a skeptic. They don’t even try to mask that they’re simply pushing their products and storyline to create a synthetic narrative. Every episode is just a long commercial. What a missed opportunity.
Also, am I the only one who wants to barf every time the hosts introduce themselves and mention their titles?
I think they’re trying to be fun and relatable, but it’s grating … hearing “word and phrases and clauses” and “culture and innovation guy” are supremely annoying. I can’t imagine working in the same office with these people and taking them seriously. It just seems so pretentious.
