What you buy and what you boycott says a lot about who you are. So let’s talk about! To Buy or Boycott is a podcast about how to make the best conscious consumption decisions.

A conversation about the messier, funnier, more random parts of life. In this episode we debate whether to tackle a home improvement project ourselves or hire someone, social media angst, the best stuffing recipe, and our concerns about who is going to run in 2020.
