Hosts Paul and Bill tackle the weird, wonderful world of pop culture, collectibles, and childhood obsessions that somehow got more expensive with age. From action figures to comic cons, they cover it all with the enthusiasm of kids and the disposable income of adults (barely). If your idea of “adulting” is deciding whether to open the box, this show is for you. New episodes drop every week. Follow along and remember—we don’t wanna grow up, but we already did!","last_synced_at":"2026-07-08T22:20:55.217433+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reluctant-adult-podcast-1191855"},"episode":{"title":"Target Aims to Boost Toy Sales by Shrinking the Toy Aisle","slug":"target-aims-to-boost-toy-sales-by-shrinking-the-toy-aisle","published_at":"2026-03-09T11:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reluctant-adult-podcast-1191855/target-aims-to-boost-toy-sales-by-shrinking-the-toy-aisle","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-reluctant-adult-podcast-1191855","url":"https://thereluctantadultpodcast.podbean.com/e/target-aims-to-boost-toy-sales-by-shrinking-the-toy-aisle/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/778ak5wy8r3ajv6k/TRAP_330_mixdown7m1qy.mp3","summary":"Target aims to make more money by selling less stuff.
