Customer Reviews
Fantastic podcast - insightful interviews while keeping it real and meaningful
Without Fail is the mothership of Gimlet productions that explains the foundation for Gimlet's other successful podcasts. The show explores the back stories of those who have struggled, succeeded and failed and not necessarily in that order. The production is unpretentious and the questions deconstruct and reconstruct, teaching so much. Thank you to Alex Bloomberg and his team's dedication to high quality podcasts and for making my dog walks and chores so enjoyable!
Love it!
Update** where are you??? This podcast is everything to me as an entrepreneur seriously
Wish y’all come back. With reply all changing. (And yesss luckily I have same political views) and now I see this podcast says 2018-2020 😔
Giving 2 stars so this post gets read— miss it!!
Love hearing the success and failures of people who are behind things that I know, Groupon, flickr, pirates of carabean, etc. As an entrepreneur I’m getting ALOT out of this; it helps normalize and also makes their success and failures feel relatable. Also, also It’s been cool to hear Alex Bloomberg’s and gimlet’s story in pieces. I LOVE Reply All, my first love and this one is now my second fav. Thankyou for all you all do!!
This is Very Good Radio
This is very good radio, except it’s not on the radio. I have control over it. It’s a podcast. It’s a podcast in which one of the most seasoned and skilled podcast interviewers of our time talks to some of the most influential folks of our time. It is the perfect concoction for audio and movement. May this show never end. May it go on forever. I love it. The episode in which Alex Bloomberg interviews Ira Glass (episode 11) heavily reinvigorated my life long dream of podcasting. Two heavyweights of professional broadcast journalism just talking about their histories together, produced in such a perfect way, with such an unapologetic attention to detail, designed in such a supreme way, I am floored at it. I love this podcast. I dream of being the kind of person that could one day make a podcast like this. It’s so simple, straightforward, and acute. It’s perfect. Listen to this.
