The Notorious B2B Show’s Podcast

SNL meets TMZ but for B2B marketing. Hosted by Tas Bober and Tim Davidson, Notorious B2B is where LinkedIn drama, marketing chaos, and corporate cringe get the airtime they deserve. We talk about the stuff no one else wants to say out loud: shady campaigns, unhinged posts, comment bait, teardown culture, and all the things making B2B feel more like reality TV. This is not thought leadership. This is Notorious B2B.
