“A decent podcast with a sinister underpinning. Blumberg always spoke so highly of his mentor Ira Glass and how he taught him to make great radio.
Seems like Alex just wants to make money. Hence gimlet has become the infomercial podcast network. They’re rich, and their only decent podcast self...”Read full review »

“This is review of season 2, not season 1–and I hope the creators see this critique and consider it for future episodes!
First, just wanna say the show was pretty great. It was awesome following the Dating Ring girls through their ups and downs along with the eloquent hosts. My only issue comes...”Read full review »

“I discovered this podcast a little too late but what a discovery nonetheless. Really takes you along for the ride - the highs, the lows, the trials and tribulations of being a startup, all documented and described so perfectly. A must for anyone looking to build a startup from ground up or just...”Read full review »

“I feel like super man with ex ray powers. The view is nice here. The Who’s who of the world.
I’m going to crush it if awkward and passive is the scale of success.
I can’t do the wife. Neg neg neg.
“ Is that a million”?
although I could be biased by loneliness, so there is that.”

“I’ve just discovered this wonderful podcast from searching for a “business- related term.
This was a revelation. A business podcast host that is not full of himself and shouting “awesome” every three minutes.
Thank God for some humility and taste in the startup podcast space.

“This started very strong, as many reviews have mentioned. But then it started drifting away from the original theme and became rather political. They placed a concerning amount of emphasis on skin colors and genders.”

The episodes gradually got less and less interesting and then in late 2018 they started putting as many ads as possible into each episode. After that they ruined this feed by spamming it with...”Read full review »

“There hasn’t been a new episode of Startup published to this feed in almost a year. All it has been in that time is episodes of Without Fail, and sometimes some other podcasts that are advertising themselves to me. When they published a rerun of THE WRONG PODCAST to the Startup feed, I finally...”Read full review »

“Startup was at it’s best when it was about Gimlet, but some seasons like the one with Arlen came close to the same magic.

“Final episodes are a fascinating look at a company leaving the “startup” phase. In this case, it means a buyout by Spotify. Also interesting to think about where the podcast industry is headed.”
