The Flynn Bros. discuss their love of coffee and do a brief history of the world’s largest coffee brand. Later, they evaluate Starbucks’s biggest innovations, from Frappucinos to their Rewards program, and consider how they’ve changed America’s relationship with coffee. Finally, the brothers tackle Starbucks’s cutesy rebrand and wonder about the role of the “Third Place” in American culture.
