The Big Flop

Comedy #121, Comedy Interviews #25

Fyre Fest goes up in flames, Madame Web is panned, the hot new crypto coin crashes. Who doesn’t love a good flop? From Silicon Valley scandals to Hollywood meltdowns - every epic fail has a story worth telling. Join TikTok superstar Misha Brown on Wondery’s The Big Flop as we unpack history’s most fascinating flops, frauds, and fiascos.

Each week, Misha and hilarious guests break down these spectacular crashes and try to answer the burning question: Who thought THIS was a good idea? Because on The Big Flop, the best stories are always about the worst ideas. New episodes come out every week.

My Favorite!

This is, by far, my favorite podcast. I’ve listened to every episode twice. Misha and his guests are hilarious and I love the content.

Content Great, Host Awful

I love the content and the stories are usually really interesting. Misha is soo cringey and unfunny though. He’s like a caricature of a cheesy host. Some of the guests (particularly Robby Hoffman) have been great but Misha makes this very hard to listen to.
Jrm-ait

Do better

Pretty good show. But, the new “bestie” thing needs to stop. It’s obnoxious and you’re trying too hard to be funny and cute.

I hate this ad

Please go away. So tired of hearing the same ad for this podcast all the time for weeks on end. I don’t care that the feet didn’t touch the ground in the movie Cats.

The worst host of all time bar none

Think of all the work and the guy or girl doing the voice treats is like a giggle. What an enormous waste of time and money for wondery. All the good stories that now won’t be heard because the host is not employable except for this podcast. AWFUL
HypothetiFan

Entertaining

Guests are funny, stories are interesting. I wasn't sure I wanted to get into a podcast talking about people's failures. But I feel like they tell the stories with sufficient lightness and empathy, always ending on a positive note.

So funny

I look forward to this show every week. “Trying to get down to my birth weight” SENT me. So much fun.

Please stop with the Bestie thing

Great podcast, great host, guests and subjects, great storytelling as well. I beg of you please stop with this new ‘besties’ thing though. Otherwise 10/10
loriborealis

Great fun

I found Misha on social media just recently and followed him here, always happy to have another podcast to listen to while I do chores/take walks/commute. I laugh at something in every episode and always learn a new tidbit about a past flop. Keep up the good work bestie!

Yay for the podcast, boo for the cheesy lingo

I truly adore this podcast and have been bingeing it since I listened to an episode that crossed over with another favorite, What Went Wrong. And I’ve been enjoying all of it, even the goofy games and puns and the whole shebang….except for the forced Gen Z lingo! Misha please please please stop saying “besties” and “sus” and other already dated slang. It sounds like Steve Buscemi saying “Greetings fellow kids” on 30 Rock and you’re already a laugh and a half!

The best way to get any task done!

Do you have yardwork or dishes or laundry that needs to be done? This is your distraction! You may not know one thing about the subject matter and will still be highly entertained by this podcast.
Sweeteaaa

The Big Flop is a flop

Misha’s hosting feels like a college student’s project for their TV & Radio major in the 2000’s. The guests are what makes the show tolerable but Misha flops on being clever or creative. Meh.
IpseyJones

What fun!

So glad I found this pod. I’m binging. Can’t stop. 😫
Twinloves79

What a get!

OMG ARICIA AND BROOKE!!!! MY FAVORITES!!!! All in one!!! You go Misha!!!

My First Podcast

How did I get so lucky?! Just started in podcasts. Found Misha totally by accident and haven’t been able to stop listening since. I probably will be completely spoiled for all other podcasts but totally worth it. What a jewel. It’s not just the stories, it’s the amazing writing, the cool guests, and of course my fave new gay icon Misha. If you love cons, laughing and hilarious games, this podcast is for you.

I love a big flop!

I live for this podcast. Must listen to Barbie’s Most Embarrassing Fails. Misha Brown and his guests had me laughing so hard!
Wally H. Dog

Super funny, but one complaint

Love the pacing and vibe of the show, and the guests dependably have the most hilarious quips about the stories. But for the love of god, could Misha stop discussing PICTURES with his guests?? He knows it’s a podcast and we can’t see it, right? Right??
Bunny Cub

Like it but most of the laughter is forced

He he he he he he haaaaaaaaa

U2 episode

I just checked my iPhone music and songs Of innocence is there. I never knew how it got there. Now I know!! 🤣

Enjoyable

Funny, entertaining, and upbeat.

Enough with the Wondery podcast host circle jerk

Going down hill fast as guests went from actual funny comedians to unfunny hosts of podcasts on the Wondery network. Obviously Wondery is desperate to promote these other shows and forcing Misha to take them on as guests. The Last Podcast on the Left host episode was almost unlistenable. One of the most annoying aspects of podcasting is when it turns into a circle jerk of hosts hosting hosts from other podcasts rather than doing the work to find quality guests. I don’t blame Misha, he sounds like he’s doing his best to get a word in while being talked over by uninteresting and obtuse doofuses. Hang in there Misha, hopefully the corporate overlords at Wondery will back off when they’ve lost all their money to Trump and need real talent to bring back sponsors.

Fun and educational!

I’ve listened since the beginning but this week’s episode was also educational. It made realize that I’ve had U2’s Songs of Innocence on my phone for 11 years without even knowing it!

Hilarious

This is one of the very few podcasts that actually makes me laugh out loud. Absolutely love it, the PharmaBro episode is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard!
ChristineSixx

Listen if you want to laugh

Every episode makes me laugh out loud. Not only does this podcast put a smile on my face, it also teaches me a little something along the way. Misha is a great host with great delivery, and the guests are always hysterical. I love the banter. I love the jokes. I love the stories.

Piggers_R1985

Excellent! My new favorite!

Misha always such a great job, and the guest hosts are always fantastic and so funny. Keep up the fabulous work. I will be listening all the time.
angrylf

Meh …

The host’s delivery is mannered and cartoonish - sometimes intimidating content but hard to listen to - not very good.
JesseJane306

So fun!

This is an excellent podcast. It’s fun, informative, never lags, and talks about flops without being unnecessarily mean. Highly recommend.
ABZ416

Love it

Every, every episode has the best host/guest chemistry, the best zingers, and very informative at the same time. Love Misha and friends… keep it up!!
AliFS1

Perfect podcast

I’ve never given a podcast 5 stars, but this is it! Misha is a fantastic hosts, the guests are spot on, the writing is great, and the content covers a huge range of fields and time periods. The production is right in line with Wondery’s other podcasts. I’m listening to the whole back catalog now, and I can’t wait for more new episodes.
Ron5771

Fantastic podcast

Thank you for the detailed research and entertaining delivery of each subject. Your guests are wonderful too!
Destroyer76

Annoying guests

Made it thru about 5 minutes when, for the third time, one of the male guests said “Giirrrrrl” to the other 2 males on the podcast. Yech!
Dazed and

Funny !

Great podcast and the host has great rapport with his guests
Hammering Dancer 81

Well

Misha is a great host but I hate to say it, he is painfully unfunny. Thankfully he is a good narrator. Great pod
Hulahoop9274

Come for the Flop, Stay for Misha

Absolutely love how entertaining this show is. Misha is one of the best podcasts hosts I’ve ever listened to. Such a funny and well spoken individual and incredibly good at engaging guests. 10/10
Lotsa Pods

My new Favorite Pod!

I’ve found my new favorite podcast! I have been binging this show for days and love all the guests and of course Mesha! The real flop stories are incredible and so interesting!
Davadunteram

The Big Flop is wondery-ful

I started listening to this podcast and it’s amazing! I love listening to all the great “flops” and the hosts perspective on it. Also the co hosts are usually great and add a funny spin to everything. Very well thought out and entertaining. I’ll continue binging this podcast now.
