a perfect podcast

I absolutely love this podcast. The topics are wide-ranging and surprising every time they drop a new one. The host and guests make great points without it feeling preachy or dense and the stories of the businesses are interesting and well-told. There is some funny banter but the pod is also very informative AND easy to follow while multi-tasking. The hosts are having a good time while also not making too much fun of serious situations and I always learn something new. So excited for the new season!

Great show!

I love this podcast! I always get so excited when a new episode shows up in my feed. The episodes are incredibly well researched and sources are cited throughout, which I appreciate. Christian approaches complex topics in a fun, non-judgmental way. I’ve laughed out loud to this podcast many times and would recommend it to everyone!

fave business/comedy podcast

the amount of research that goes into this podcast is impressive, and that’s not even including Christian’s jokes throughout each episode. i learned a lot about companies i see on a daily basis and just how busted businesses around us are!! love this podcast give it a try!!

Christian is a Hilarious Delight

If you are a fan of You’re Wrong About or Maintenance Phase, you absolutely must give this show a listen. Christian is frankly much funnier than the hosts of those shows (and they’re pretty funny!) and every bit as insightful and intelligent, and her guests always bring excellent energy and thoughts as well. As someone that had the privilege of seeing Christian blossom from afar in our conservative Catholic school (I was pretty far ahead years wise), she has always been obviously intelligent and naturally hilarious and charming, even as a middle schooler, so its of no surprise that this podcast is an absolute joy to listen to.

One episode in

7/15/2023- I'm only one episode in (Toys R Us) and this podcast seems great. Can't wait to watch other episodes. Christian should consider becoming an investigative journalist for companies. There are so many corrupt industries that more people need to talk about, in particular oil/natural gas (just look at Enron) and big pharma.

New favorite comedy podcast

While "Desperate acts of capitalism" still holds a special place in my heart; when it comes to podcast making fun of rich idiots. Busted business bureau might just be my new favorite podcast. It is hilarious, well researched and has a charm to it you cant find anywhere else.

100000/5 stars

I’ve been mentally composing my review for a while but Christian accidentally called me out in the last episode lol. This podcast has quickly become my favorite thing in the world. Christian is so funny and does so much research. Everything is so thought out and well composed but the presentation is so very entertaining. All of the guests are great and make it even better. I live alone and this podcast keeps me company, I love it The Monsanto season literally changed my life. I adore everything Christian puts out and anyone considering listening should go for it! 🫶

LOVE BBB!!

I could go on forever, but Christian is so good at translating their very dense research into palatable, funny, and understandable points. The first episode I listened to was the Washington Commanders episode (I’m a DC native and sports fan). Christian was able to combine objective facts, cultural temperature, and hilarious takes into a very satisfying experience for this Dan Snyder hater. BBB massages my socialist heart and makes my anti-capitalist armor a little stronger, all while laughing the entire time. Great fucking work!

Totally chaotic (but FUN!) romp though history

After discovering the pod on TikTok, I’ve been a listener ever since. I love the chaotic and fun take on history though the lens of business and every episode manages to get at least one IRL LOL out of me. :)

Funny & well-researched

I highly recommend this podcast if you like true crime without the blood and guts. The host, Christian, is hilarious and charismatic, and so are the guests she brings on. Every episode is exceptionally well-researched and always entertaining.

Binged it

A friend recommended this podcast and I’m so glad they did! The intersection of research and comedy is my exact k*nk and I listened to the entire series in an unreasonably small time frame. 10/10

This podcast is a major slay

I’m convinced that Christian and I would be best friends irl and she’s retweeted me several times so I’m accepting that as canon. Her humor is incredible and the cadence between well-researched, awful facts and light-hearted humor is exactly what I want in a podcast. The Monsanto season was truly remarkable - it was like a Netflix special. I like listening to this podcast while driving or doing chores bc it just feels like friends hangin’ out, laughing, and sharing truly disturbing facts about awful businesses. Fun! 10/10

for the girls!

ngl this is the podcast that got me into podcasts (late i know!) and i’m going to be so sad when i run out of episodes to binge and have to wade the waters of podcasts that aren’t this funny or well-rearched. the chemistry between christian and her guests is so fun and the episodes never make you feel like you could’ve read a wikipedia page and gotten the gist of it. i even recommended this to my mom, who famously hates monsanto, and she thought it was “well researched but a little laughy.” high praise from shannon!

A nerdy post-boozy brunch convo with friends

I’ve come to really love this show! The amount of research that goes into these episodes is deep, but the delivery is funny and easy to digest. Idk why, but the episode about rats was so fascinating to me. I love the diverse perspectives that are heard in this space. It’s like a nerdy post-boozy brunch convo with friends. So good.

One of my new favorites!

Well researched and genuinely funny, this podcast dives into interesting topics and gives them the time they deserve while somehow feeling quick and snappy. It’s a joy to listen to, even for this straight white conservative male !

My new fav podcast!

If you enjoy Adam Ruins Everything, Cold Fusion, Tom Scott, and Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, with just a sprinkle of female gaze, there’s something for you in this podcast! Each episode covers a topic or company that’s niche and specific, but along the way, Christian hilariously and thought-provokingly tears through the sticky ugly goofy side of American big business.
