In partnership with Texas Monthly, Tom Foster's "The Shelf Life of John Mackey" is now available as an audio download, where the length and timeliness of a podcast meets the high-quality production of a full-length audio program.

On June 16, 2017, Whole Foods agreed to sell itself to Amazon for $13.7 billion. This is the exclusive story that led up to that momentous decision for the Austin-based grocery giant.

A long-time New York magazine editor, TOM FOSTER relocated to Austin in 2014. He is an Editor at Large at Inc. Magazine and Texas Monthly, as well as a Contributing Editor at Popular Science.
