  • Miracle on 34th Street - Did Santa invent price checking?
    Sep 8 2024

    Bad Business goes bite-sized for the summer.

    In these shorter episodes, Claire covers some TV shows and films that contain some bad business, but not enough to warrant a full episode.

    In this episode she discusses the 1994 film, Miracle on 34th Street.

    Claire ponders:

    • Is knowing the price of stuff a superpower?
    • When did we start price checking?
    • How this film gets the core point of offering a price checking service wrong.

    The bite-sized episodes have been produced by The Pod Booth.
