Flop Off

Published: Dec. 31, 2021, 3 p.m.

This past year was a flop. From questionable blockbuster reboots to supply chain shenanigans to worst of all, omnipresent COVID variants. But, in a last ditch effort to flip the flop, we at Radiolab have dredged up the most mortifying, most cringeworthy, most gravity-defying flops we could find.\xa0From flops at a community pool to flops at the White House, from a flop that derails a career to flops that give NBA players a sneaky edge, from flops that\u2019ll send you seeking medical advice to THE flopped flop that in a way enabled us all. Take a break from all the disappointment and flop around with us.\nSpecial Thanks to:\xa0Kaitlin Murphy, Dana Stevens, David Novak, Pablo Pinero Stillman\nSupport Radiolab by becoming a member today at\xa0Radiolab.org/donate.
