  • Insights are great

    I love the retail insight that Anne and Chris bring to each weeks stories. The promos at the beginning have grown out of control. I now just fast forward to about the seven minute mark to actually get to the stories.

  • Info packed! Just one small issue…

    Great pod for anyone in retail and product marketing. Packed with information and valuable takeaways. A must listen!

    My only small, teeny issue with the episodes is with Chris … you’re awesome, buddy, but … you gotta stop YELLING INTO THE MIC! :)

    Keep up the good work!

    Cheers.

  • Best retail news for retailers

    I’ve been a marketing executive in retail for over 20 years. I am as you would expect cynical, skeptical, and grizzled as a result. I read everything about retail. This does not make me popular at cocktail parties, but pretty smart about retail. And yet literally every week I learn something new from you two. I don’t always agree but I always love the perspective. I just sent out your podcast to all the exes at my company and marked it required reading.
