Podcast Idea: Airport Shopper
Description: Who buys luggage at the airport? I’m serious. Sure, perhaps your luggage suffered a catastrophic failure and you need to replace it between security and your gate. That probably happens. But does it happen enough to pay the rent on an airport shop? On this show, we find out. By interviewing people buying luggage at the airport. In future seasons we’ll dig deep on related topics like “Who buys perfume at the duty free store?” and “What percent of jewelry bought at airport shops is purchased by men who are cheating on their wives?”
Host: Steve Wilson
Executive Producer: Steve Wilson
Comps: Billy on the Street meets Whatever Happened to Pizza at McDonald’s?
Sample Episode 1: Who Buys Luggage at LGA? Steve camps out in front of the TUMI store in Terminal C at LaGuardia airport (aka a bodega with planes), waiting to see who purchases luggage, and why.
Sample Episode 2: Who Buys Luggage at ATL? Steve camps out in front of the Mori luggage store in Terminal D at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Will he be kicked out of the airport for this podcast? Only time will tell!
Audience: People who appreciate absurd humor, but also really genuinely want to know who the hell buys luggage at an airport. The audience is likely frequent travelers, in airports enough to see these stores regularly and wonder “no seriously, who is buying luggage after security?” They buy their luggage on the recommendation of The Wirecutter, who would never recommend buying luggage at the airport.
