Grab your headphones and join us to celebrate this milestone! The Clear Admit MBA Admissions Podcast reached its 500th episode today.
Our first episode aired on March 6th, 2018. While we started with general strategy episodes and Admissions Director Q&As, we really kicked things into gear in July of 2019, with the very first episode (on July 15th, 2019 to be exact) of Wire Taps, in which Alex Brown and Graham Richmond break down entries from MBA hopefuls and offer advice to sharpen their admissions strategies, improve their chances of acceptance, or make key decisions about matriculation.
From that point on – almost exactly seven years ago – the duo have managed to record a Wire Taps episode every single week!
Our Wire Taps episodes have profiled over 1,000 real candidates who were either applying to school or looking for advice about where to attend–that’s 1,000 mini-case studies in admissions strategy from virtually every corner of the planet, applying to dozens of different programs!
Reflecting on making the 500th episode, Alex Brown says, “It’s been a real privilege to have co-hosted Wire Taps with Graham, over all these years. We’ve discussed a lot of aspects of MBA admissions. Graham always has super insights regarding the industry, and incredible empathy for the candidates we advise.”
We’ve had dozens of special guests on the show, ranging from business school deans like Mauro Guillen and Todd Millburn, to admissions directors from HBS, Stanford, LBS, Wharton and more, top professors, and admissions experts. We even had Sam Fuld, the general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies join the show!
