    Interesting, timely content that I enjoy keeping up on! The only drawback is the audio - sound quality is low.

  • 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.
