“This podcast IS a spectacular failure. I can see it now: episode 28: this podcast!
It’s not very good. All the one star reviews are right. Good idea. BA-A-A-AD podcast.”

“Imagine your woke little sister took her first business class and now knows all about managerialism, fat cats, and “privilege”. That’s what she sounds like commenting sneakily on business stories.”

“I enjoyed both seasons of the podcast, and listened often. I hope there is a third season, because this podcast has not even scratched the surface of failures. The show was done with great humor, and great information. Hopefully the show gets a third season.”

“Definitely my favorite new podcast. Lauren’s delivery of the topic (which could be taken into a grim and depressing direction) is wonderfully entertaining and leaves me wanting more. I only wish there was a backlog of episodes so I could binge! Learning from our failures is imperative to success....”Read full review »

“Lauren Ober is wonderful. The perfect host for these stories. I’m not sure what the other commenters are talking about in regards to politics. I haven’t found anything political in the stories at all. Very well written and entertaining. Hoping for a third season!”

“This is my second time trying to listen to the podcast, and the host’s humor paired with the serious subject matter doesn’t work. It’s trying too hard to be conversational but just seems forced. The subject matter is interesting but I can’t get past the narration style.”

“Her political opinions make it impossible for her to tell a truthful “story”. Sad because it could have been good and actually left the listener with a lesson instead of pushing her all so predictable social justice message.”

““Good idea bad execution” “the Lauren’s voice sounds like a dying horse” “the host is a feminist hack” those are some of the most common reviews I hear I will now mock them as they sound like a dying horse, and whoever is writing them are hacks and they are the truest spectacular failures.

“I love this podcast ... great stories about businesses and the events that led to their “spectacular failures.” A refreshing departure from the True Crime genre that seems to dominate the pod space. Lauren Ober is hilarious and clever. I could listen to her forever!”

“Will you do a episode on the green stamp company,, when you went shopping you got stamps and you would go to their store and buy stuff ? I know that’s why we have so much print on coupons. I have no clue what happened? I love all your stories”

“I like the concept, but like others have mentioned, the politics and wokeness is a bit over the top. I mean, she corrects a Latina referring to her Latino neighborhood and the host insists on using the made up term "Latinx". Don't do that.
The show should be about the topic, not the...”Read full review »
