Welcome to the show! I'm kicking off the Jungle Jim's podcast with the rundown on what our store is - followed by an interview from our visionary founder, Jungle Jim Bonaminio himself - what a treat. He rarely does appearances like this! Jungle gives us some fun insight into why we built a podcast studio inside our international market and what we hope to grow this show into. You'll get to know me a little better as I take you on our first segment of The Taste Test. In this episode, we learn about the rambutan and how to eat it. Spoiler warning: It's delicious. Lastly, I stopped a random shopper with a surprising talent who traveled to check out our vast selection of hot sauces. Anything goes here in the Jungle!
