Game Plan

125

You spend more time at your job than just about anywhere else. Game Plan, a weekly show hosted by Bloomberg reporter Rebecca Greenfield and editor Francesca Levy, takes a close look at the way we live our lives at work. Greenfield and Levy dive into everything from how we started speaking in office jargon to the strategic value of being nice to your colleagues. It turns out that there’s a lot more to say about the office grind than you may have realized.

    Relevant and timely
    I look forward to each episode. Now I just have to find that 401(k) rollover information...

    I Thoroughly enjoy the vast spectrum of topics. Its rewarding learning more about others perspectives in the business environment and day to day culture.

    Rebecca is painful to listen to
    I really want to like this podcast, the topics are wonderful, but I can't stand to listen to the nasally, cringy voice of Rebecca Greenfield. Keep working behind the scenes for the content but find a new voice for the love of god.

    Didn't realize this was a women's issues podcast
    I downloaded four episodes, and didn't realize this was a women's issues podcast. The imposter syndrome episode is about how women feel not good enough at work because men are traditionally doctors and women are nurses. The air conditioning episode is about how temperatures are set for men and that's why women are so cold. As a man who wears a jacket because I'm cold and is dreading someone walking into my office and telling me I'm not as good as I think I am, I know that these aren't specifically women's issues. Also, so far, all the user submitted half baked takes are women. I don't begrudge having a women in the workplace podcast. I think that's great. Perhaps put that in the podcast description and own it?

    Listen for the half-baked takes, but learn about the workplace
    I started listening to this podcast because of the work from home and the work commute episodes. The hosts are on point and have great chemistry. The guests are typically informative. Favorite part: The half-baked takes are tremendous and hilarious. It reminds me of coffee and lunch breaks with my coworkers. The one episode of their coworkers' not-fully-thought-out opinions was very funny. It'd be great to get one episode of all of their #hbt from all previous episodes. Do yourself a favor and give them a listen.

    Never miss an episode!
    I have never missed an episode of this really informative, smart, and interesting podcast. I love the mix of important information that helps with leadership and work-life along with the humor and great chemistry between the hosts. I feel like I am listening in on a conversation between two of my smartest friends. Also, the guests are always on point and add a lot to the show.

    Relatable
    This podcast is great and is super relatable but seriously -- can Bloomberg find someone else besides Rebecca to record these? I can't take her seriously with her valley girl, "oh my god" voice.....
  • AGH29
    Here for this.
    Refreshingly smart and witty—wish I had found this sooner! The topics are relatable (so much that I find myself saying "SAME" on the street outloud) and the reporting is thorough and thoughtful. I always find a new perspective on work life that helps me get through the day. Plus Rebecca and Francesca make for a perfect pair—engaging, clever, and smart. Bravo Bloomberg! We need more podcasts like this one.

    YIKES
    Francesca saying "we just have to lower our standards if we want diversity on the podcast..."
  • Jawluv384
    Great variety of perspectives
    I love listening to Game Plan and JUST heard my own half baked take in the episode about changing families and the workplace lagging behind. When you give feedback or comments to these guys, they really listen! To report back, my work only offers coffee. And it hurts 💔 the most because I'm the one in charge of ordering coffee for the office!
  • Maikbells
    Great listen.
    Great listen.

    Half baked takes
    Francesca and Rebecca have great chemistry! The dessert of the show is half-baked takes, which is a semi-thought through idea at the end of each podcast. I have found myself yelling at the podcast with ones I don't agree (e.g. Airline alcohol and food is a rip-off). My backhanded compliment is that Rebecca can sometimes sound like an eloquent "valley girl". This can take away from her thoughtful and intelligent commentary. Overall both Rebecca and Francesca are stellar hosts of the show!

    Fun, light, interesting
    Just discovered this and I am already enjoying it. The hosts' personalities are a big part of the reason and it keeps me engaged and entertained on my commute.
  • Themfilmguys
    Now this is what I call a podcast
    5 stars.
  • SaltyCompadre
    Enjoyable listen
    Really entertaining and enjoyable podcast. Also very interesting content. Worth the listen, good addition if you only have news podcasts.
  • Janeyvv
    Awesome dynamics
    You're doing a great job
  • jo8k
    *Still* Five Stars - from obligation to must-listen
    Started listening for work, continued listening for me. Rebecca, Francesca and Sam will make you laugh and make you smarter. Can't recommend it enough. Tip - be sure to listen to the entirety of each episode for bonus goodness.
  • mbsnell
    Great info!
    I just discovered this podcast and I can't stop listening. Really great information presented in an entertaining way.
  • Boomer Podcast Fan
    New Year Resolution episode hit the spot
    Great job covering a topic that is very needed and no one wants---how to keep new year resolutions. You guys did it with humor, reality, efficiency and effectiveness. Especially liked the point that it is easier to change our circumstances than ourselves--that brick against the head was needed and did not hurt. Thanks! (one of my resolutions is to be more gratefu :) l........).
  • JDTOR85
    Real fun about real work issues
    Great short bursts of content on a lot of the 'isms about work, employment, and work culture. Love half-baked takes at the end too!
  • Pi is a Lie
    Great Podcast
    When I listen to Game Plan all the unnecessary jargon, implied dress codes, and endless politicking of my office start to make sense. Work culture takes up so much of our waking lives, it's great to learn why things are the way they are, and how they're changing. The hosts also give insightful tips for navigating the office, like how to make meetings actually useful. Good stuff!
  • sofipeterson
    Fantastic podcast, so interesting and fun!
    This is my favorite podcast right now! So interesting and I really like the commentators.
  • MTownJAD
    Good content and guests
    I think this podcast has great content and guests. I always take away something useful. My only complaint is that Rebecca could improve on her style. Sometimes it sounds like a style you'd hear in a high school. I'm old enough to remember the stereotypical "Valley Girl"..."totally". Your delivery does make an impact on how people perceive the content. Clean that up, and this gets a "5".
  • Ryang16
    Fantasic podcast! Keep it coming!
    I love this podcast! It talks to my heart and gives me new perspectives. It helps me think through work life issues that I did not or could not discuss with my friends and family. It offers insight that I don't usually get from other sources. Thanks and keep up with good work!
  • Hannahbaxward
    😎
    It's a rad podcast for anyone, especially millennials, trying to navigate the tricky waters of office life, work place politics, and social faux pas.
  • Sternums
    Nail on the head. Really funny!
    The first episode was great. Really made me think about all the crappy jargon used in my office. Looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

    Just what I needed
    We all spend so much time in the office but so little time figuring out what it all means. This podcast is GREAT!
  • Theblondepenguin
    Love
    After listening to the first episode I can't wait for more. The jargon in my industry is overwhelming and you have to use it or be lost. This episode made me go through my email so see how guilty I was!!! Love it!!!
  • Jmstrom
    So good!
    An outstanding new podcast
  • mollycj
    My new favorite podcast!!!
    This podcast is everything you could ask for. It's funny, informative, engaging, and smart. The hosts are personable and knowledgable, but they're also learning right along with the listener. I didn't want the first episode to end! Can't wait for more.
  • Emloehr

    Really smart!
    I am sitting miserable in my office right now while listening to the first episode. My live reaction is one prolonged "Yaaas!" They really get office culture, have smart things to say about it, and are entertaining.
  • SAHM31
    SAHM missing office politics!
    So excited for this!
  • Jacqueline Raposo
    Love it already
    As a writer, this first episode had me laughing and raising my fist in solidarity. Love the banter, the research, and the guest interview. Excited for more. Brava.
  • RTW816
    Like Office Space, But Real
    The first episode of this show was great fun—Al Franken!—while also being packed with information. It reminded me of watching Office Space, and seeing all the weird and strange things everyone deals with at their offices every day, but then realizing it's all actually real. Can't wait for more.
  • Annettttttttttttte
    So good!!
    Love this already from the first ep, excited for more!
  • Ea522

  • @JuliaJuliaJulia
    Fun take on work culture
    Love how this podcast dives into the thing we do every day (work!) and surfaces all of the interesting bits we don't often give thought to. Can't wait for more eps!
