Retail Therapy 059: The In/Out End-of-the-Year Episode
All the INs, all the OUTs, and everything in beween.
Listen to Retail Therapy on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube (see above), and anywhere else podcasts are found.
We’ve done enough of these episodes at this point that I can finally say it with full confidence: These are my favorite episodes of Retail Therapy.
While I was a bit gun-shy on a couple of my Ins this quarter, it’s always fun to see what Barrett brings to the table and how it contrasts with the list I’ve been keeping over the few weeks leading up.
For the entirety of our lists, look no further than this slideshow on our Instagram (and maybe follow us while you’re at it):
Because these episodes get so chaotic, I’ll simply leave it at that for a shortened version of the listener digest this week. We hope you enjoy.
Of course, we closed things out with our wishlists and imminent cops.
For 2023, we’ve hit the reset button on our wishlists and made them a bit more digestible for the year ahead. To access the complete version of our 2022 wishlists, look no further than our final Listener Digest of 2022. New items in bold.
