After two downer episodes, Alyssa invites Molly McAleer on to discuss many things about Hostess Twinkie. They have been around for a long time, and we couldn’t cover everything. We got labor issues, we got SCOTUS decisions, and we got a poorly run company with a bad product.
Enjoy!
Digressions include:
The Great Recession
Judge Judy
Barbie
St. Patrick’s Day
The Proud Boys.
