In this week’s Fast Five podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, and Sezzle, David Ritter and Jonathan Sharp of A&M join Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga as they discuss:

- Walmart's porch delivery program.

- Gopuff's overt move into private label.

- Who made the bigger move in the checkout-free retail war this week: Aldi or Wakefern?

- The relative value of voice-assisted ordering in QSR vs. retail.

- And, closed with a discussion on the long-term viability of a new startup that just raised $25 million to help consumers, not Buy Now, but Save Money and Pay Later.

There's all that, plus Anne and I mutually patting each other's backs for being named Top 100 retail influencers, edible utensils, and David Ritter's favorite Taco Bell vice.
