Not Euston. Can’t get past that.

I really enjoyed the two seasons. I actually looked up nikola and Milton before I listened the last two episodes. I almost didn’t finish the series knowing that there were no consequences to him or his wealth. And that the whistleblowers didn’t get paid out. But I think it’s important to keep in mind not him but the people that worked to bring him down.

As someone who lost money on Nikola, thank you
WSJ reporting helped bring down a fraudster, and while I lost money on Nikola, it could have been worse. So glad I get to hear a podcast series on the background story now.

Bring Back the Podcast
When are more seasons/episodes coming out? Can you all let listeners know if you’re no longer keeping the podcast going? This is probably the WSJ’s best podcast, so it’d be great if it kept going.

Great
After all these years I couldn’t recall what the Enron scandal was all about. Thanks for the nice review. As for the Trevor Milton tale, what a guy! I hope there will be more outrageous tales of businesses gone bad.

Hurry up and make more!
I was listening to three of the WSJ podcast regularly, but there are no more new episodes. These were so much better than a lot of what is out now (too much millennial-splaining). Fun to hear the multi episode journalism.

Great podcast. Hope there is a season 3
I hope the WSJ makes a third season. This is an intriguing podcast telling the stories of business fraud through the voices of those who experienced it first hand

Season 3
This is one of my favorite podcasts. Can’t seem to find any information on whether there will be a 3rd Season. Maybe something on FTX?

Corporate Poison Intrigue
Enjoyed rehashing this 20 years after the fact.
Enron didn’t pave the way for corporate malfeasance, but it did in the way of modern coverage - the ‘digital’ age, perhaps.
Ending with a heart attack in Aspen, go figure…

Intriguing, informative. I am happy to have found this podcast.
mind you
Loving this season!
Terrific story telling. Ben Foldy has a great voice. The episodes roll over smoothly. Love the various (real life) characters - especially the whistleblowers - full of curiosity, determination and courage. They face down Trevor Milton’s hubris with selfless grace. Don’t want the season to end! (Update- make more please!)

Super interesting and well researched
I hadn’t heard of Nikola until this podcast. This is now probably my third time listening to it, it’s so good! The delivery is straightforward, sticking to the facts, not unnecessarily dramatic, but still super interesting because the story itself is so bonkers! I appreciate the time the reporter took to find sources for this story.

Terrific. Long form journalism
Very impressive serialization of detailed business and financial crises and criminality. Distills complex issues into comprehensible audio chapters. Top quality like the WSJ should provide.

We need more of them!
Season 1 was amazing. I can’t wait for Fridays to come. I love the combination of business insights, contextual setting with the dramatic effects that only radio can convey.

Karma looking like a great reporter
When you find a reporter willing to spend the time and do the research, support their work. This is a cautionary tale that lies and betrayal will come back to you.
