From Wondery, the makers of the hit series Business Wars, and Lindsay Graham, the host of American History Tellers and American Scandal, comes a weekly podcast that brings you the true stories of the brilliant but all-too-human businesspeople who risked it all. From Walt Disney’s creation of a theme park in Orlando, to the colossal failure of New Coke, Business Movers will explore the triumphs, failures and ideas that transformed our lives.

Customer Reviews
Beautiful mix of history and business
The host Lindsay Graham has such a knack for storytelling so it was interesting to see them break out into business. The concept of the show itself is also cool because it blends history and business together in a way that both history buffs and businessmen can appreciate
Festini says it’s great so it must be
I’ve come to the conclusion that anything Wondery puts out I should just subscribe and hit select all and download because so far they cannot put out one crappy podcast. They put so much time and effort and more importantly, the ability to dramatize and make audible characters is huge. Very few podcasts do that, most of them are just somebody reading in a room or two people, bantering back-and-forth and wonder he takes the time, even if it might be only two or three people, pretending to change their voice, I don’t care. It helps with my imagination and Wondery. Get it?
Excellent!
We love this podcast. It’s presented in a clear, concise, and relatively clean way that all ages can enjoy. We learn so much and cannot wait to hear the next episode! Listen to all of the seasons! They are all fantastic!
