Firing Squad: Caroo's Gareth Peterson
UK-based and focused car has tickled the industry's funny bone recently.

Exorcising Our Demons
Crazy shit has been going down, right? What we need right now is a good exorcism but it's so damned hard to allow your demons out for everyone to see, let alone exorcise them.

Bet you'd change your mind if you knew the guest had worked at NASA and did a stint in the South Pole though, right? In this episode, the boys join Kim Jones, professor at UC Irvine, and dig into the seedy underbelly of the business of background checks and point a big finger at the HR folks who major in laziness instead of get

Google Jobs Antitrust
Adzuna CEO and Founder Doug Monro have a thing or two to say about Google's anti-competitive practices, particularly around job search. He's even joined his fellow European industry heads in an official complaint against Big G, so deciding whether or not to have him on the podcast was a no-brainer. In addition to search, Doug has a lot to say about programmatic advertising, fraudulent job postings, problems with your ATS of choice, and XML feeds (boy, does he have something t
