Description
Corporate crookedness. Family feuding. Hilariously half-baked decisions. Host Lauren Ober tackles some of the most spectacular business failures of all time, and what could have been done to avoid them. Some of these stories are shocking. Some are funny. Some are just downright sad. But each one will give you a totally new perspective on big business… and big failure. From American Public Media.

we're really gonna run with the reason sqirl got backlash was because the owner was a women. what a pathetic life you live
This was absolutely interesting. I work for a dairy that bought several of the Dean plants after bankruptcy.
snaaarrrkkkeeee
this is a very silly podcast
This show is my most favorite biz show; informative, amusing, and concise. Thanks guys! Keep the good work
add this podcast to the list of failures as well. no more new content.
The store was already failing. Retail is failing. Millions of people in retail have been laid off (according to this podcast), yet somehow the story goes on to blame Wallstreet for the store closing lol. The typical story of how the "big bad wallstreet guys" are the enemy. Even stooped low enough to play audio of children crying when they found out the store was closing. This is trash...
Shitty movie? More like shitty podcast. Instant unsubscribe. Goodbye
awesome podcast
Being originally from New York most of these events were known to me which is why I was against Trump becoming President. I found many, maybe most, of the people in the Midwest where I now live unaware of Trump's history of business failures while lining his pockets. I hope that this well done, factual podcast will be heard by many who don't know these true stories.
The Atlantic City whale jab actually had me laughing in my seat.
The snarky remarks are what make this podcast fantastic! If it were a straightforward history lesson on unfortunate business failures, it would be depressing. A lot of these are laugh or cry situations, and I appreciate that we can laugh! Fascinating history with a side of dumb "dad" jokes, for the win! This is like a SparkNotes comedy version of American History Tellers, in the very best way. Keep your humor, keep your enthusiasm, and keep talking as fast as you want. I love it and I'm here to stay!
Nothing personal, but the narrator tries to be funny/snarky, without success. Also, too scripted. Please try and sound more natural. Otherwise, good content.
I truly enjoy this podcast and the occasional glib comments a refreshing.
The snarky remarks are the worse part of this podcast. Stop!
