A podcast for people
who have been laid off

In 2023, Antonio and Andy were laid off from what some would consider a dream job. As many people do, they felt the stigma around it, pretended it didn’t happen, and never talked about it.

However, after seeing wave after wave of layoffs being announced across social media, they noticed the same pattern repeated in every unemployment update. It was as if everyone had the same feelings of shame, sadness, and defeat.

While unexpected terminations impact employees at every level, from star athletes to fast-food workers and corporate types alike, their stories often go untold.

Instead of perpetuating the cycle of not talking about this delicate topic, Antonio and Andy are shining a light on it — sharing the stories of those who’ve been laid off, their triumphs, and their struggles, as well as resources that’ll help empower everyone to move on to the next chapter of their careers.

Simply put, Let’s Talk Layoffs.
