Introducing: The Big Flop
The Wing was supposed to be a model for feminist social clubs, built on activism, inclusion, and self-care. But instead, The Wing became a glaring example of toxic girlboss culture and workplace discrimination. On each episode of Wondery’s podcast The Big Flop, comedians join host Misha Brown to chronicle one of the biggest pop-culture fails of all time and try to answer the age-old question: who thought THIS was a good idea?
This is just a preview of The Big Flop. Listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts, or at wondery.fm/the-big-flop.
For more deep dive and daily business content listen to Wondery – the destination for business podcasts. With shows like How I Built This, Business Wars, The Best One Yet, Business Movers and many more, Wondery Means Business.

Audible is reproducing all Harry Potter books into audiobooks (again), but this time with a full ensemble voice cast (hollywood style) — Because the buckets of media have spilled into each other.
Barry’s Bootcamp is trying to sell itself for at least $700M — Because nothing drives cash flow like a cult.
And T-Mobile has gone from the joke #3 wireless company to the clear #1 — So we whipped up a case study on how they beat Verizon and AT&T.
Plust, happy Cinco de Berkshire Gala Derby Weekend to all who celebrate (which is everyone).
