    Introducing: Blood River, A New Podcast From Bloomberg

    Introducing: Blood River, A New Podcast From Bloomberg

    The killers of Berta Caceres had every reason to believe they’d get away with murder. More than 100 other environmental activists in Honduras had been killed in the previous five years, yet almost no one had been punished for the crimes. Bloomberg’s Blood River follows a four-year quest to find her killers – a twisting trail that leads into the country’s circles of power.
    Blood River premieres on July 27.

    Introducing Foundering

    Introducing Foundering

    Adam Neumann had a vision: to make his startup WeWork a wildly successful company that would change the world. He convinced thousands of other people -- customers, employees, investors -- that he could make that dream a reality. And for a while, he did. He was one of the most successful startup founders in the world. But then, in the span of just a few months, everything changed.
    Foundering is a new serialized podcast from the journalists at Bloomberg Technology. This season, we’ll tell you the story of WeWork, a company that captured the startup boom of the 2010s and also may be remembered as a spectacular bust that marked the end of an era.
    Foundering premieres June 25, 2020. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

Sneakily Fantastic Podcast

This is so sneaky good. At first you think it may just be a show about populat clothing trends or something like that, but really it's a pop culture/economics/fashion/electronics lesson all rolled into one. So informative and interesting, you learn something different and cool in every episode. Absolutely in my must-listen lineup every week. Keep it up guys!

Bizarrely Jubilant Theme Song

They have a bizarrely jubilant theme song for a show that’s usually talking about the death of an industry. Love the show. Hate the theme song.
