Thank you to Podnews reader Justin, who popped into the Trader Joes at the improbably-named Walnut Village Center in Irvine CA and saw this fine piece of advertising for Inside Trader Joe’s, complete with a replaceable card for each new episode. As advertised, the new episode, published yesterday, talks about wine you can get at Trader Joe’s in 1-liter sized bottles. That’s “upwards of 33% more wine”. Walnut Village, in case you wondered, gets its name from the crop harvested there between 1890-1967, after which remaining trees were converted into citrus groves, and then converted into a Starbucks, a Trader Joes, and a parking lot with shopping carts.
