My absolute favorite, go-to retail podcast
Long time listener. This is my weekly go-to podcast! It's interesting. It's real. It's fun. The dialogue is intriguing and everything is always super topical. Thanks Chris and Anne!
A must listen podcast!
I am a co-founder of a fashion data company and listening to Anne and Chris is an essential part of my routine. Listening to Omni Talk is a critical part of my education.
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.
