Season 7, Episode 5: Unpacking the Decline of Black Friday

Taiwo Balogun, Yi Yi, Isabel Woldeab, and Chloe Yang

November 29, 2024

Valerie Wang

The TidePod, which was started in early 2019, is currently in its seventh season. Graphic designed by Valerie Wang.

Over the years we have seen a change in the holiday Black Friday, with no more early hours, large crowds, enormous lines, or massive deals that have Americans standing outside in the cold for hours on end. But why is that, let’s dive into the background of Black Friday to explain why. You can listen to this episode of the TidePod here. For more episodes, check out the TidePod on Spotify and Buzzsprout.

This episode of the TidePod was hosted and written by Isabel Woledab, Chloe Yang, Yi Yi, and Taiwo Balogun. Publicly and Outreach by Taiwo Balogun. Graphic by Valerie Wang. Music courtesy of Corrigan Peters. Produced and edited by Taiwo Balogun.
