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.

All episodes paywalled now pretty lame

Could you make it not a wondery+ please

Great stories with lots of interesting info, but I can’t stand the dramatic reenactments. Corny and unrealistic.

As much as a micro-manager Henry Ford was, I was surprised to learn he never visited Brazil (Fordlandia). I have lived overseas, once being several years in the tropics—one cannot live as a North American in that climate unless you want to make life rough for yourself—the local culture has figured out how to live WITH that climate instead of against it! By listening to podcasts (and episodes like Season 35), I can’t believe how much history I did NOT know (and what behind closed-door decisions were made) which have big longtime impacts in people’s lives down the road. Thanks for this great history lesson!

The dramatized delivery of these business stories just doesn’t land for me, very campy and over the top. The content and premise is good, but the packaging just isn’t for me.

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.

Monomyrgh

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!

Very good podcast we listen while we’re cooking and on road trips

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.

Good history but takes one side in crisis moments. Example is history of Cisco and not exploring how entitled founders were. Not for everyone.

I love 💕 this it

Outstanding show and delightfully entertaining. Peaks my interest every season. Please keep them coming.

My only complaint is the music! Is there a way to tone it down a bit? At times, the swelling music overshadows the spoken word. Otherwise, love it!

As a Non-Binary Trans Walrux adjacent pansexualy toned Base lover, this show has been very incluso for me

Love hearing this. Great story line and content. Thank you for a wonderful listen.

Such a great podcast!

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?

The host Lindsay Graham has such a knack for storytelling so it was interesting to see them break out into business. The concept of the show itself is also cool because it blends history and business together in a way that both history buffs and businessmen can appreciate

I’ve come to the conclusion that anything Wondery puts out I should just subscribe and hit select all and download because so far they cannot put out one crappy podcast. They put so much time and effort and more importantly, the ability to dramatize and make audible characters is huge. Very few podcasts do that, most of them are just somebody reading in a room or two people, bantering back-and-forth and wonder he takes the time, even if it might be only two or three people, pretending to change their voice, I don’t care. It helps with my imagination and Wondery. Get it?

We love this podcast. It’s presented in a clear, concise, and relatively clean way that all ages can enjoy. We learn so much and cannot wait to hear the next episode! Listen to all of the seasons! They are all fantastic!

Riveting seasons. Perfect length. Great format. Narrative yet also acted in a way that is coherent yet dynamic. Great voice, both in tone and use of language. Well researched. Another win for Lindsay Graham

I love most of the work done with Lindsey and wondery but man, there’s more stories than Exxon/Shell major catastrophes. I’m so tired of getting the same angle on 5 podcasts on the same stories.

I think wondery does a great job on multiple different podcasts, but- it is pretty cheesy and a little annoying with the different voices one person will use. Just makes it sound corny. When they talk to a woman and it’s a man’s voice or a child and it’s a man’s voice it just makes it hard to follow at time. Then to do impersonation voices for board room meetings etc is again a little cheesy. Especially when credits say women are a part of the story to produce- just use them

Most of them I listened to today are good, but it does get a bit biased and defends the greedy, corrupt Rothschilds (on the Rockefeller season) of all people!

I have been so impressed with this podcast. Already a fan of American Scandal, History Tellers, and History Daily…I heard Lindsay encourage this one but didn’t do it until recently…this is a really great listen!

Wondery has perfect subject podcasts lo around. From business to true life crime, I appreciate this podcast so much; keeps me busy at work and fit in the gym! A subscriber and listener for life. Thank you!

I’ve been looking for a podcast like this for a while it’s definitely my favorite!

Love this show and the insights into some of the biggest changes in business! Also this show has helped to increase my book collection by A LOT! Keep getting home runs Mr. Graham!

I have enjoyed every minute of this podcast and highly recommend it! By the way I write very few reviews, but this podcast is worthy of taking the time to recommend it!!!

This is a podcast for anyone that is in business or has a curiosity about what make companies great and what makes companies not so great. Insightful and in-depth research, practical and non-biased delivery of the truth behind every episode. Lindsay A. Graham and his team deliver insightful, compelling and truthful exposés in every series.

I love the multi part / deep dives this show does. It’s really unique. Anyone who is interested in Microsoft or business strategy / leadership in general needs to listen to the episodes on Satya Nadella!

Lindsay does a remarkable job telling the stories of so many innovative and interesting business leaders throughout history.

Outstanding narration with interesting information.

I enjoy everything Lindsay Graham narrates and Business Movers is no exception! Only listen to this if you like immersive and informative storytelling! This is a fantastic podcast and I highly recommend it!

Always informative and very interesting

This show is addicting to say the least! From Steve Jobs, Mary Barra, to Patricia Dunn, this show gives insight to what leaders of corporations have to endure. Having never experienced that level of power, it’s really neat to hear about the paths they took to arrive at that point. Look forward to many more episodes.

Loving the topics that Lindsay Graham has gone into so far including the story of Reedy Creek which is more important now than ever, great score, and brilliant writing overall really great show.

Great podcast but please use women voices for the women characters. It’s easier to follow if the voices are attributed correctly.

Fact based and always interesting, I look forward to each new episode. Great production and narration.

Great podcast but guess by now with Amazon merger you have the budget to get female voice for carli and patty’s voice

Very well done. The re-enactments are incredible. Lindsay Graham has a wonderful voice for these stories. Thanks for the great information. Interesting to hear the real story about these famous people. Thanks!!!

This pretty much goes for all your podcasts. I just chose this one because it’s been the one I’ve been listening to the most lately. I simply am enthralled with this podcast. I will admit, I have a tough time holding focus (ADHD) to things. When I listen to this podcast, you capture my full attention. Business movers does a really good job of taking business as a whole and turning into your favorite Netflix show, but better. It’s history, it’s drama, it’s intellectual. Lindsay Graham does a really good job telling a story as noted in other reviews. If you are curious about how big businesses got there start, look no further.

It’s so good and the best podcast EVER

Lindsey Graham kills it yet again. This series, like the many he hosts, deep dives and explains the history of some of the greatest business minds in the world. The story flows and I eagerly await new episodes and topics!

I can’t get enough of Lindsay’s storytelling! His voice is compelling and gives me a sense of comfort as soon as I get settled down to listen to one of his podcasts! Wondery is the standard for me in podcasts! Great job with this one, it’s just as good as American Scandal! He makes everything come to life.

I can’t get enough of Lindsay’s podcasts! Every one of his shows is pure gold. I love the topics, his voice, and the writing style. Please keep them coming!!

Lindsay ….your voice …your writing …your topics …. Love your stuff and basically if you do it I want in! Is there anything you don’t do well?!?! I love American Scandal … and now loving Business Movers. Thank you for the learning and the escape and the inspiration !!! 🖤
