From HR nightmares to baffling corporate jargon, we offer a sardonic, tongue-in-cheek exploration of modern workplaces, office politics, and the occasional managerial farce. If you’ve ever endured an interminable Zoom, winced at the word “synergy,” or suspected your role could be performed by a particularly competent goldfish, this show is for you. With sharp wit, real-world anecdotes, and a healthy dose of satirical scrutiny, we reveal the art of how not to do business. Because sometimes, when work is this ridiculous, laughter is the only sensible response.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T20:19:30.894838+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/brenda-you-re-on-mute-the-podcast-7496522"},"episode":{"title":"BYOM Review of the Year","slug":"byom-review-of-the-year","published_at":"2026-01-13T14:38:35+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/brenda-you-re-on-mute-the-podcast-7496522/byom-review-of-the-year","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/brenda-you-re-on-mute-the-podcast-7496522","url":"https://brendayoureonmute.podbean.com/e/byom-review-of-the-year/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/6dxujnvz45v37s5m/riverside_byom_review_of_the_yea_jan_01_2026_001_rakhee_verma_s_studaeeuh.mp3","summary":"Join Rakhee Verma and Heather Deland for a review of 2025 in business, the global economy, and the world of work. From trade wars, tariffs, and Brexit fallout, to the rise of billionaires, AI, and climate challenges. They explore the impact of global volatility on everyday life, consumer power, and political choices, and herald Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum as one of 2025's heroes. Whether reflecting on the UK economy, graduate unemployment, or why Katy Perry is so annoying, Rakhee and Heather give their candid, side‑eyed perspective on a year that was tough but not without laughs. Tune in for sharp observations, occasional exasperation, and moments of hilarity—because 2025 was one for the books. (Rakhee breaks her pledge to not swear on the podcast and can't stop saying the word 'shite'.)","meta_description":"Join Rakhee Verma and Heather Deland for a review of 2025 in business, the global economy, and the world of work.
