The Exit Interview, Brother

The Exit Interview, Brother

Author: WJJI Studio April 9, 2025 Duration: 49:09

This week, we're trying the new Thai Yellow Curry and Korean Spicy BBQ chips from Calbee, we're talking about the Findlay Kitchen Fundraiser I'm emceeing and how you can try so many of their products RIGHT HERE in Jungle Jim's, and diving into our first live exit interview with an employee. Ray Jones was one of our head cashiers, and when he moved, I saw an opportunity to do something silly - and that opportunity turned into something sweet and heartfelt, that simultaneously gave us a good insight into the Jungle. Love that. Then, we're joined by Matthew Rolnick of Real American Beer, brother, to talk about their recent event with WWE's Braun Strowman right here at Jungle Jim's, as well as their plans for Real American Beer. As always, reach out to me with your ideas at Podcast@JungleJims.com!


Step inside the sprawling, colorful aisles of one of the world's most remarkable grocery experiences without ever leaving your home. The Jungle Jim's Podcast, from WJJI Studio, is an audio companion to that wonderfully mad world, but it stretches far beyond the shelves. Each episode is a conversation that starts with a curious ingredient or a culinary tradition found within the market and then follows that thread out into the wider world. You’ll hear stories about the people who make the food, the art that decorates the packages and the walls, and the cultural practices that turn a meal into a shared memory. This podcast digs into how food shapes societies and connects places across the globe, all through the unique lens of Jungle Jim's International Market. Naturally, we’ll also peel back the curtain on the market itself, sharing some of the secrets and histories that make it such a singular destination. It’s for anyone who believes a grocery store can be a gateway to adventure and that every product has a tale to tell. Tune in for a series of explorations that are as unpredictable and rich as the market that inspires them.
