In this week’s Fast Five podcast, sponsored by Microsoft, the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Takeoff, and Sezzle, Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga:

• Gave their hot take on Andrew Jassy’s first-ever letter to Amazon shareholders
• Had mixed feelings on Lululemon’s new subscription program
• Took a second to bash the Yankees as they discussed Caper Counter at Fenway Park
• Exhibited a high degree of skepticism around the new Champs store concept
• And closed with a look at Pensa’s new deployment with Lunds & Byerly’s and how it may be yet another example of why computer vision is the most important technology shaping the future of retail

There’s all that, plus 6-CD changers, deep space probes, and the smell of Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
