Fun and razor sharp satire

Like the mustard it describes, this podcast is strangely addictive. Great insight for us older folks into the world of the under 30s and the tech companies. Highly recommend

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Whatever Ginny’s spreading on her sandwich (not trying to be gross), give me some! (again, not trying to be gross; talking about mustard on a sandwich). I’ve never worked for a tech company, but I’d love to watch these people work in real life. So vapid, so entitled, so neurotic it sincerely made me roar with laughter (and pee a little too)

Mustard?! Don't Let's be silly!

It takes a lot for me to get invested in a fiction Podcast (largely having the attention span to sit through one); but Ginny Hogan managed to put together something that MORE than accomplishes the task. Anyone who's a fan of cautionary tales about becoming dependent on corporate structures should listen to this one. It takes all the best elements of The Office, Parks & Rec, Idiocracy, the Social Network AND Fritz Lang's "Metropolis"; Distills them down to a bite-sized portion, and then Slathers it with mustard. What's more, I hope Ginny and her team continues with this kind of storytelling down the line; because in a world of patently unoriginal thoughts and ideas, it's comforting to know that originality isn't dead...yet (also, I really like the Claudia character...for some reason, she reminds me of Samantha Bee).

Funny and entertaining!

As a coding wizard (I mean witch) in the tech industry, I was laughing/cringing at how embarrassingly accurate this is. A really funny and entertaining show. Highly recommend listening!

Funny Stuff

Listened to this today and it reminded me of some of Evelyn Waugh's early novels. No one will get the reference, except Ms Hogan, who seems smart as well as funny. Well worth a listen.

Smart, Honest Comedy

I'm a startup employee, arguably in much better shape than the one featured in this podcast. Regardless, I found myself cackling and relating to this story all the way through. Pacing is great, story on point, production is top notch.
