The Runners Up Club

The Runners Up Club

Por: Ray Agostinelli
Short-form episodes about history's "losers", air quotes essential, by Ray Agostinelli. Wild and fun stories about people & products, brands & businesses, ideas & inventions that failed to ascend to the dominant position in their fields - business, science, politics, the arts - sometimes deservedly so, many times not. What Hydrox is to the Oreo, Gabriel Metsu to Vermeer, Eulace Peacock to Jesse Owens, Iliodor to Rasputin; and very many more besides - diminished, obscured, forgotten. Stories that are by turns instructive, humorous, enraging, illuminating, cautionary, and addictive.
