Business Movers - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This the only podcast I have found so far that really dives deep into the history of some of the world’s most well known businesses. Lindsey Graham goes into the crazy stories of businessmen and women and how they overcame challenges to become the businesses that we know them as today. I especially enjoyed the series on Uber; it has completely changed my perspective of Uber. Thank you for all the great episodes.

We love the content we learn about with this podcast. Pretty much love all of it. I took two stars off because the music between takes is so awful and loud it doesn’t do anything but make us want to fast forward. It’s so bad sometimes we get distracted from the content of the episode.

Just listened to the Pepsi episodes. I’m not only moved but in awe of the Pepsi company and the leaders who pushed against the times. I’ve been of fan of this podcast for years (thank you for all the great content!) but this series - in particular - was the most inspirational thus far. Thank you so much for working so hard to put this series together!

I listen to this podcast all the time. I really like how the podcast is structured, but I think that they should release episodes more often. My favorite thing about this podcast is what subjects they chose and how relevant they are to our modern world.

The story of the Exxon Valdez as presented here, shows Exxon in a far, far better light then they deserve. This is a subject I know professionally. An especially aggravating line in this podcast is “dispersants break up the oil into droplets that sink and DISAPPEAR”. They do not disappear, the dispersant and the oil droplets are far more toxic then the initial spill. It’s just a PR move.

Exxon and BP are two of the worse corporations on the planet. Why is Wondery helping them whitewash their worst sins?

Edit: Wait, so now most of this podcast is locked behind a paywall? WHAT. Why? Why lock the incredible stories of Walt Disney, JP Morgan, Rockafeller, George Lucas, Stan Lee, and so many other iconic tales behind a paywall? I suspect we’ll see select reruns of certain seasons in the near future, an issue which has affected another podcast by Lindsay Graham, American History Tellers.
I’m going to drop my rating from five stars to three because of the paywall and the paywall alone. I love this show, but I don’t want to pay for content previously available for free! I’ll pay for an extra podcast, but arguably the main show ought to be for free.
Anyway, with that rant out of the way, back to my original review.

Yes, let me get political for a second. If you’re worried about the woke agenda the rest of Wondery’s podcasts have, fear not in this case. The stories here are told without prejudice or bias—well, mostly, but never unbearably so.
This podcast has one goal in mind: to teach the next generation of business leaders and entrepreneurs the successes and failures of those who’ve come before us in a bite-sized, engaging way. It’s made me appreciate businesses in ways I haven’t before, and given me vocabulary to use in day to day life.
Lindsay Graham is a fantastic host with a captivating voice. His ability to differentiate two characters having a back-and-forth conversation is noteworthy, albeit typically predictable.
There are still ads, yes, but in this case I appreciate them as windows into how other businesses operate and try to capture your attention. Doesn’t make them any less annoying, but it sorta helps. 😂
Business Movers tells the stories of people who’ve learned, and that teaches the next generation of bright-minded people the understanding and values they need to be successful. But most importantly, it tells these valuable stories well.
