    My First Podcast
    How did I get so lucky?! Just started in podcasts. Found Misha totally by accident and haven’t been able to stop listening since. I probably will be completely spoiled for all other podcasts but totally worth it. What a jewel. It’s not just the stories, it’s the amazing writing, the cool guests, and of course my fave new gay icon Misha. If you love cons, laughing and hilarious games, this podcast is for you.

    I love a big flop!
    I live for this podcast. Must listen to Barbie’s Most Embarrassing Fails. Misha Brown and his guests had me laughing so hard!
  • Wally H. Dog
    Super funny, but one complaint
    Love the pacing and vibe of the show, and the guests dependably have the most hilarious quips about the stories. But for the love of god, could Misha stop discussing PICTURES with his guests?? He knows it’s a podcast and we can’t see it, right? Right??
  • Bunny Cub
    Like it but most of the laughter is forced
    He he he he he he haaaaaaaaa
  • 1htmama1
    U2 episode
    I just checked my iPhone music and songs Of innocence is there. I never knew how it got there. Now I know!! 🤣

    Enough with the Wondery podcast host circle jerk
    Going down hill fast as guests went from actual funny comedians to unfunny hosts of podcasts on the Wondery network. Obviously Wondery is desperate to promote these other shows and forcing Misha to take them on as guests. The Last Podcast on the Left host episode was almost unlistenable. One of the most annoying aspects of podcasting is when it turns into a circle jerk of hosts hosting hosts from other podcasts rather than doing the work to find quality guests. I don’t blame Misha, he sounds like he’s doing his best to get a word in while being talked over by uninteresting and obtuse doofuses. Hang in there Misha, hopefully the corporate overlords at Wondery will back off when they’ve lost all their money to Trump and need real talent to bring back sponsors.

    Fun and educational!
    I’ve listened since the beginning but this week’s episode was also educational. It made realize that I’ve had U2’s Songs of Innocence on my phone for 11 years without even knowing it!

  • Lluvily
    Hilarious
    This is one of the very few podcasts that actually makes me laugh out loud. Absolutely love it, the PharmaBro episode is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard!
  • ChristineSixx
    Listen if you want to laugh
    Every episode makes me laugh out loud. Not only does this podcast put a smile on my face, it also teaches me a little something along the way. Misha is a great host with great delivery, and the guests are always hysterical. I love the banter. I love the jokes. I love the stories.
  • SamsterAZ

    Excellent! My new favorite!
    Misha always such a great job, and the guest hosts are always fantastic and so funny. Keep up the fabulous work. I will be listening all the time.
  • angrylf
    Meh …
    The host’s delivery is mannered and cartoonish - sometimes intimidating content but hard to listen to - not very good.
  • JesseJane306
    So fun!
    This is an excellent podcast. It’s fun, informative, never lags, and talks about flops without being unnecessarily mean. Highly recommend.
  • ABZ416
    Love it
    Every, every episode has the best host/guest chemistry, the best zingers, and very informative at the same time. Love Misha and friends… keep it up!!
  • AliFS1
    Perfect podcast
    I’ve never given a podcast 5 stars, but this is it! Misha is a fantastic hosts, the guests are spot on, the writing is great, and the content covers a huge range of fields and time periods. The production is right in line with Wondery’s other podcasts. I’m listening to the whole back catalog now, and I can’t wait for more new episodes.
  • Ron5771
    Fantastic podcast
    Thank you for the detailed research and entertaining delivery of each subject. Your guests are wonderful too!
  • Destroyer76
    Annoying guests
    Made it thru about 5 minutes when, for the third time, one of the male guests said “Giirrrrrl” to the other 2 males on the podcast. Yech!
  • Dazed and
    Funny !
    Great podcast and the host has great rapport with his guests
  • Hammering Dancer 81
    Well
    Misha is a great host but I hate to say it, he is painfully unfunny. Thankfully he is a good narrator. Great pod
  • Hulahoop9274
    Come for the Flop, Stay for Misha
    Absolutely love how entertaining this show is. Misha is one of the best podcasts hosts I’ve ever listened to. Such a funny and well spoken individual and incredibly good at engaging guests. 10/10
  • Lotsa Pods
    My new Favorite Pod!
    I’ve found my new favorite podcast! I have been binging this show for days and love all the guests and of course Mesha! The real flop stories are incredible and so interesting!
  • Davadunteram
    The Big Flop is wondery-ful
    I started listening to this podcast and it’s amazing! I love listening to all the great “flops” and the hosts perspective on it. Also the co hosts are usually great and add a funny spin to everything. Very well thought out and entertaining. I’ll continue binging this podcast now.
  • PureRED
    Hilarious and Shocking
    As a big Misha fan, I might be biased, but I ADORE The Big Flop. You hear about all these things in the news, but never really know the full scope of what went wrong. Misha and his guests have a way of making these wild stories, funny and informative. It’s always a high point of my week when a new episode pops up.
  • Guacamole_Jon
    Great Pod
    Misha is a great host, many of the Big Flops I don’t even care about but Misha and guests are so funny they keep me listening. I found this pod by chance a week ago and I’m blazing through the episodes starting from the beginning. If I could give The Big Flop for stars I would
  • Loomchick
    Fun . . . and I hope I’m never the subject of an episode!
    I enjoy this podcast so much! It’s fun, informative, and an even a little snarky. It’s a great diversion from all the craziness in the world. I hope we get future episodes on WeWork, Google Glass, Harvey Weinstein, Edsel, Blackberry, US Football League, and Trump Steak/University/Airline/Vodka/etc.
  • KWD4040
    Love but need fresh topics!
    Love the show! Misha is a great hosts and the guests inject a great energy. My one complaint is I with they did more obscure flops rather than the buzzy ones. It gets a little boring when we already know so many details about a flop!
  • KendraAnn5
    I listen to this every single week!
    I look forward to this podcast every time an episode drops! It’s such a unique and fun concept and each episode is so interesting, it leaves me wanting more and more with each new story! I would give this podcast a 15/10 if I could!
  • BMichael Listens
    Needs better guests
    I do enjoy this podcast, but some episodes I can’t get through due to the obnoxiousness of some of Misha’s guests. They don’t bring anything to the table except being loud and idiotic. Please be mindful of who you bring on the show.
  • JDH44
    Biggest Flop
    This podcast is great fun and the host is excellent. I have a suggestion for an episode: America.
  • ZulR-Gines
    Love! Love!
    I stumble into this podcast and it just have brought me happiness an joy. I have 3,jobs and I’m going my masters. In between clases , jobs, being a wife , and a mom. I play the podcast and instantly feel in a good mood! Thank you! By the way can you cover the gigantic flop of Elisabeth Finch ?
  • Tilly bearzzzz
    Don’t miss an episode!
    Each time you hear a story you are thoroughly entertained. I love the theme song and I truly gagged when it was played after the OceanGate episode. But admittedly I have a dark sense of humor.
  • AlwayswillLuvtheapp
    Great Podcast!

    Can you be anymore racist towards white people? Like reverse racism is disgusting. If white said same about black it would’ve been a firestorm.
  • jw725
    Consistently entertaining show
    Great show that covers a wide range of pop culture. The guests can be hit or miss but Misha leads with both a fun and informative style.
  • Spanishwhiz

  • Michelle 11221
    Love the content, guests, and host!
    Such a fun, light-hearted podcast that pokes fun at some of pop culture’s biggest flops. The host is so entertaining and funny without rambling and the guests are always so fun. I send the Cleveland balloon episode to everyone I know when they’re looking for recommendations!
  • MediTodd
    SO good!
    Misha is hands-down one of the most entertaining podhosts out there. His wide variety of guests are always hilarious, making every flop they discuss a must-listen. Learning should always be this much fun!
