Hello Omni Talk Fans! Today we bring you our absolute favorite podcast of the year -- our annual Omni Talk Retail Awards!

In today's Fast Five Podcast, our good friends from the Alvarez & Marsal Consumer & Retail Group, Kristin Kohler Burrows and David Ritter stop by to help Anne and me hand out some serious hardware, including:

- Retailer of the Year

- Retail CEO of the Year

- Retail Technology of the Year

- Most Overhyped Technology of the Year

- Retail Headline of the Year

- Best New Partnership of the Year

- And, much, much more!

This is one episode you are going to want to dial up at the gym, in your car, while pretending to work, etc. because it was surprising just how varied our list of nominees across all the categories actually were! 

And, for the record, Anne was wrong on every pick in which she disagreed with me.
