I’ve listened to my share of small business retail podcasts. Kathy’s, by far, has had the best concisely packed valuable episodes.

This podcast is a great resource, no matter what retail space you are in. I have not found a lot of podcasts that are as practical or real-life as these, and I also like the length of these shows.
