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.

I listened to the episode on Countrywide. In her zeal to score political points, the podcast creator completely missed the key causes of the financial crisis. Not once did she mention the fact that Fannie and Freddie Mac were encouraging risktaking by guaranteeing subprime mortgages and causing the industry to fund people who should never have gotten mortgages in the first place. She held up discredited former AG Eric Holder as some kind of a hero. The whole thing was incoherent.
This was a mediocre podcast. It got boring. It’s all I’m trying to say. So sorry man just not good
I loved your show. I love the narrator. It was interesting and educational. I also love your input on why they went under stop doing business. Your opinion was always. appreciated. by the sounds of your research, it sounds like it was really good so bring it back. my opinion is of your program put a few positive businesses that really did good. Just throw them in an example to the ones that went under OK later💪
This was a really great show. Is it coming back?
BRING IT BACK. SUCH A NICHÉ UNIQUE PODCAST
