How To Fail With Elizabeth Day howtofail

I love Elizabeth Day: she is smart, compassionate, open to new ideas, and really deeply engaged with her guests. Her interviews are some of the best that I have heard. I highly recommend this podcast as guests focus on one general discussion topic: failure in their lives and how they have approached it, but of course that opens the gate to a wide, and full spectrum of conversation possibilities. Of course, some of the guests are more interesting than others, but hearing Day open space for every guest to fully express herself/himself makes all of the episodes worth listening to.

Her casual approach, accompanied with studied research of her subjects, allows Elizabeth the luxury of allowing her interviewees to feel comfortable enough to share. There’s no room for rehearsed questions here, just like in desert island discs, allowing them to arrive with pre thought out topics to discuss provides the blue print for great discussion whisky Elizabeth makes sure she goes in for the grit.

What makes this podcast so great is Elizabeth Day is such a talented interviewer, clearly honed from her days as a journalist, so the conversation always takes really interesting and insightful turns. A gem of a podcast that almost always uplifting and often quite moving too.
