8 podcasts that will make you smarter about business

‘StartUp’ chronicles the relentless challenges of founding a company.

Gimlet Media

In 2014, award-winning NPR reporter Alex Blumberg decided to strike out on his own and start a podcast collective. Being a radio veteran, he made the very meta decision to launch with a show about starting that business, well before there was even an indication his company would survive.

Two years later that company has become Gimlet, and its premiere podcast “StartUp” is in its third season. Season One takes you through the tumultuous founding of Gimlet, Season 2 takes the same approach with the struggling dating site Dating Ring, and Season 3 explores the lives of founders taking you through their darkest days as entrepreneurs.

It’s all gripping stuff.
