A particularly entertaining episode. This charm of the podcast shines through in TheTakeover, an absurd tale that looks at office culture through teenage eyes. The episode follows Thomas Oscar, an Australian teenager who, fascinated by the oddities of corporate routines, created the "most boring Facebook group possible." In this group, members role-played as workers in a non-existent office, complete with mundane drama, passive-aggressive fridge notes, and "fun time" activities.
The story satirically highlights office life, making it a relatable listen. It’s a lighthearted reminder of how digital spaces can amplify even the most niche forms of creativity. For anyone who’s ever rolled their eyes at corporate culture, this episode is a must-listen.
WHERE TO LISTEN: You can find the episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
