More Please

As a brick and mortar retailer, I find this podcast fascinating. I just wish it was produced more often. Keep up the great work!

Episode about Target pride month disappointing

Regular listener. This episode went into politics and as the show progressed it became more cringe. Appeared to be deep liberal La la land. Things nothing to do with retail. Wasted 20ish minutes before I could not take it any more.

Completely biased and unaware

Your episode on pride month is so out of touch with mainstream America and your reporters are completely biased and unaware of what America believes about these issues.

Better do a little more research next time.
