Inside America’s IPO Machine
The Pop is a podcast examining the science and hidden machinery of how companies go public and how markets actually work in the United States. Hosted by Robert Leshner, a founder and operator building infrastructure for modern capital markets, the show breaks down IPOs and listings from the S-1 to the first trade – exploring how incentives are structured, where the system breaks down, and who it ultimately serves. Through high-signal, story-first conversations with founders, executives, investors, lawyers, and regulators, The Pop looks at the good, the bad, and the ugly of going public, and what the next era of capital formation could look like.
