Description

We'll be back next week with some more weird Internet, but for now, enjoy this 2G1P Classic!
-- Original Show Notes // January 17, 2022 --
There's an aisle at your local ALDI supermarket that contains random stuff that rotates on a weekly basis, often without rhyme or reason. So naturally, there's a Facebook group with 1 million people who are obsessed with it.
This week, Alli and Lindsey talk with Stefanie Riley and Leigh Caldwell Dunning, friends who've worked in the blogging/journalism space for years until they discovered a shared love for Aldi's "Aisle of Shame." It prompted the blog and group of the same name, where they highlight and discuss the products (and people!) that pop up in the mysterious aisle, where you "go to the store for milk, and leave with a chainsaw." They share the secret bird call of fellow group members, the ALDI executives who lurk in their midst, and the surprising way this community has rallied to help members in need.

If it exists, there's probably a huge Internet community obsessed with it. In their quest to follow the Web's deepest wormholes, comedians Alli Goldberg and Lindsey Ford have hilarious and humanizing conversations with furries, geocachers, video game archeologists, TikTok witches, professional comment trolls, VR sex workers, and much more. They also explore the social, legal, and ethical ramifications of modern social media with experts and journalists. You can't un-hear this!
