Meet the people behind the gossip
A CPA and a stand-up comedian making sense of corporate scandals. There’s a lot to unpack.
“CPA SCORNED”
Becca Platsky
As creator and host of Corporate Gossip, Becca lifts the curtain on corporate shenanigans and makes business news accessible to everyone. The podcast has been featured on NPR’s Planet Money and in the Financial Times, and was named one of Town & Country’s best new podcasts of 2024. Her humorous critiques of tech and business have earned over 30 million views and attracted more than 200,000 followers across TikTok and Instagram.
Before podcasting, Becca spent more than a decade as a management consultant at PwC and IBM, focusing on organizational design and process improvement. She holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting from Binghamton University and a New York State CPA license. She lives in New York City.
“OUT-OF-OFFICE REPLY-GUY”
Robby Slowik
Called “a national treasure and comedy’s most talented talent” by an anonymous reddit account that is definitely not controlled by Robby Slowik. Stop implying that it is. And while those claims are true, it took time to get there.
After starting comedy in Tampa, Fl (The cultural capital of the world) Robby moved to L.A. (The Tampa of California) before settling in New York City where he does stand-up most nights. Aside from clubs and venues nationwide, Robby has done stand-up on Conan (TV!) and numerous festivals such as The Great American Comedy Festival and Laughing Skull. I have (I mean “he” has… How long do I have to pretend someone else is writing this?) written for Schulz Saves America, the Roast of Tom Brady, and The Problem with Jon Stewart on AppleTV+ where he appeared regularly as a correspondent on the podcast of the same name.
He is the cohost of the Corporate Gossip podcast. He lives in New York City.
“DATA ANALYTICS PLAYBOY”
Adam Platsky
Adam spent three years behind the mic as Becca's cohost and now leads story producing. He digs up the numbers and backstory that shape every episode before it's ever recorded. By day Adam is a data analytics engineer.
The Studio
Every episode of Corporate Gossip gets recorded at Borough House Creative, a media studio tucked into the Garment District - conveniently run by Becca's fiancé, Mike Albanese. Massive, undeserved thank-you for letting us take over your space week after week!
