Gear Patrol

The Gear Patrol Podcast is our weekly roundtable discussion focused on products, their stories, and the culture surrounding them.

In this episode, we’re talking about three news items from the last week. First, we discuss at-home spin bike giant Peloton’s new video game. Then, we look into the just-announced Chicken Nuggets from Impossible Foods. And lastly, Gear Patrol’s Commerce Editor, Ryan Brower, will be joining to discuss his beef with Stone Brewing’s new Buena Vida “premium” hard seltzer.

In the initial version of this episode, it was incorrectly stated that Stone was fined by the TTB for trade practice violations. This is not true. Stone paid the TTB for tax violations as a compromise after making a mistake in their tax filings — not because of trade practice violations. We regret the mistake.
