Listen Later

Colin Anderson and Candice Chetta live in Brooklyn and Bodega and deli sandwiches have saved their drunk lives on more than one occasion. This shouldn’t be news by now: We’re mad at a couple of tech bros who are working out that appropriation bone something wicked! Have you heard of Bodega? Not real Bodegas, but a fancy, gentrified, magical computerized vending machine? Well if you haven’t feast your ears on this special episode! There’s a big problem with young, monied tech guys coming into a space to “disrupt” a small business peopled by immigrants and families. And we’re going to fucking talk about it.
