Amazon's purchase of Whole Foods, may seem like the start of a brave new world, but hold onto your shopping carts. The die has yet to be cast. Listen to Matt Levine and our resident expert Mary Mulry talk about the implications of Jeff Bezos' and John Mackey's sweaty love affair .   And if you haven't listened to Episode 1, our History of the Supermarket what are you waiting for?  It illustrates how Amazon resembles A & P, and oh yeah, we predicted Amazon's big move into grocery, too.

After we finished our pilot on the history of the supermarket we realized that Clarence Saunders, the man who created Piggly Wiggly, deserved way more attention. Blending PT Barnum's theatrics with Steve Jobs-like innovations so much of the grocery business even today bear his mark.  With an unabashed joie de vivre, Saunders was a self-made man who took on Wall Street and lost, but rose again. Only to lose everything another time  and a third time too. Unstoppable, brash and charismatic, he died in the 1950s while trying to develop a computer automated supermarket he wanted to call FoodElectric. Listen as we talk and laugh with Mike Freeman they guy who wrote the book on Saunders Listen and we think that you too will be wondering why hasn't anyone made a movie about this guy yet. Attention Joel and Ethan Coen. Get in touch!
