Office Parties Gone Wrong (And How to Survive Them)

Inside Job is a podcast that  pulls back the curtain on how modern jobs really work. If Mike Rowe’s Dirty Jobs showed the grit of blue-collar work, Inside Job reveals the invisible labor and quiet heroics behind the jobs powering our modern economy, told in sound instead of sight.
