Exploring the humanity in retail.
Where Commerce and Culture Meet
We tell stories about the things we buy and the people who sell them. Shopping in a store, after all, still means running into other humans. Which is why so much of who we are ends up wrapped not just in what we buy but where we buy it. This show is about the humanity in that, and the voices you won’t hear anywhere else.
Co-hosted by Jeff Fisher & Cristene Gonzalez-Wertz, RETAIL DONE RIGHT is a podcast that explores these changes, identifies trends, shares insights and speaks with a variety of people in the trenches to better understand the changing nature of retail.
Retail Done Right Podcasts
Thrifting isn’t about nostalgia, charity or sustainability guilt. It’s about curiosity, and the sense of triumph when the hunt pays off. In Episode 4 of Season 5, dedicated thrifters Kim and Donna take us from the 50-cent bin to a thrifted ball gown in Vienna, and Courtney walks us through Bangkok’s Chatuchak market, where bargaining is an art. Professor Scott Rick of the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, author of Tightwads and Spendthrifts, explains the pain of paying. He also tells us why a thrift receipt is the one people brag about, and why the thrift store may be the most dangerous aisle in America for a spendthrift.
