    How to push through when you feel like you’re failing

    Not only is Sir Chris Hoy one of the most solid, lovely people I’ve ever met but he gives excellent advice - including one of his favourite sayings: ‘comparison is the thief of joy’. We respond to a listener pressurised by societal expectations, we talk about how to push through when we feel like we’re falling back and thanks to Sir Chris, I find out I’m better at Peleton than I thought… NEW HOW TO FAIL WITH ELIZABETH DAY PRESENTED BY HAYU LIVE TOUR DATE Friday 28th March 2025 – The London Barbican Go to: www.fane.co.uk/how-to-fail Do you have something to share of your own?

    Sir Chris Hoy - ‘There’s no cure but I still find hope’

    It was an honour to record this episode. We overuse words such as ‘hero’ and ‘inspiration’ but Sir Chris Hoy is both. Not only is he one of Great Britain’s most successful Olympic athletes (during a record-breaking career as a sprint cyclist, he won six gold medals, one silver medal, and 11 world championships) but he’s currently living with a Stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. In September 2023, a seemingly routine trip to the doctor’s turned into a waking nightmare when he was given between two and four years to live. His beloved wife Sarra was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a month later. And yet, these two extraordinary people say they are lucky. Listen to this episode if you want to feel joy, hear wisdom and learn how to live with love in the face of death. Sir Chris - you’re an amazing human being. Thank you for spending this precious time with me. If you or someone you love is going through a mental or physical health challenge, as Sir Chris Hoy says: you are not alone. You can call the Samaritans 24/7 on 116 123.` All That Matters by Sir Chris Hoy is out now. Have something to share of your own? I'd love to hear from you!

  5. Kirsty Young - ‘The great benefit of age? You give less of a f**k.’

    11 DEC

    Kirsty Young - ‘The great benefit of age? You give less of a f**k.’

    When I started How To Fail, I had a list of dream guests. Kirsty Young was on it. Not only because she’s one of the greatest interviewers of all time but also because her style of broadcasting (especially during her time on Desert Island Discs) is the standard I aspire to every week on this podcast. Her intelligence, warmth and ability to listen - both to what is being said and what isn’t - are what mark her apart. It was an honour to be allowed to ask her the questions for a change and a delight to spend time in her company because she’s FUNNY too. Truly, the ideal woman. We talk about her self-stated failure ‘to excite her birth father enough for him to stick around’, her failure as a quiz-show host and her failure to meditate. Along the way, we touch on her experiences interviewing the great and the good…and some who were neither. We talk about her anchoring of the late Queen’s funeral and Kirsty’s ability to sum up the mood of a nation. We discuss step-parenting, the liberation of age, clickbait, living with a chronic illness and why she wishes she’d run off with a Guatemalan tribesman (but settled for love at first sight with her husband, Nick Jones, instead).

    How to cope with unrequited love

    This week, It Ends With Us actor and director Justin Baldoni answers your questions and fails. As Justin said in the main episode, it’s his calling to help others - he even directed a series about people’s last days and how to live every minute to the fullest. With that in mind, we talk about unrequited love, avoiding overthinking and he reveals why he wore a skirt and danced to one of his favourite Abba tracks as part of his proposal to his now wife.

  7. Justin Baldoni - ‘I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD. It makes sense of who I am.’

    4 DEC

    Justin Baldoni - ‘I’ve been diagnosed with ADHD. It makes sense of who I am.’

    TW: sexual assault I love Justins. I haven’t met a bad one yet. I’m even married to one. Justin Baldoni continues the trend of Great Justins. He’s intelligent, empathetic and unbelievably eloquent (honestly - it was such an easy interview because I hardly had to ask a single question; I just sat back and listened). An actor and director, Baldoni played Raphael in the rom-com Jane the Virgin for five years, before directing and starring in It Ends With Us - the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s hit novel. And don’t worry - we talk ALLLL about it. He’s also a speaker, producer and entrepreneur. His book and eponymous podcast ‘Man Enough’ both seek to reframe modern masculinity, and were inspired by his hugely successful TED talk on the necessity of deconstructing traditional stereotypes about masculinity. In doing so, he seeks to fight the oppression of all genders. Well, I think we can all say hurrah to that.

Also, we discuss why some people can seem so heartless in the face of tragedy. We definitely go there with this one!
