“OUT-OF-OFFICE REPLY-GUY”
Robby Slowik
Robby Slowik has been 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 — a gig he always figured was a temp seat. Turns out he was right: Adam's since retired the microphone to dive deep into story producing, digging up the numbers and backstory that shape every episode before it's ever recorded. By day he's a data analytics engineer; on the show, that same instinct for finding the story now just happens behind the scenes — plus he still shows up for book club.
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, which comes with a few perks: unlimited studio time, zero booking fees, and a built-in excuse to visit him at work. Massive, undeserved thank-you for letting us take over your space week after week.
