Elizabeth is a phenomenal interviewer and her guests have the most incredible capacity for honesty and conversation. Listening in on their chats is the greatest privilege and comfort. It will make you feel more at ease with yourself and more understanding of others. It will also make you laugh, cry and think. Thanks Elizabeth

Elizabeth asks all the questions I want to ask I'm not screaming at the phone wondering why they're not being asked

Description

How To Fail with Elizabeth Day is a podcast that celebrates the things in life that haven’t gone right and what we might learn from them along the way. Every week, Elizabeth’s guest explores three failures, and what these failures have taught them about how to grow and succeed, better. We’d love to hear from you! Get in touch with Elizabeth to share your failures, problems or questions - anonymously or otherwise. She'll go through these each week with the help of her very special guests. And remember: a fail shared is a fail halved. https://forms.sonymusicfans.com/campaign/how-to-fail-uk-2023/ An Elizabeth Day and Sony Music Entertainment Original Production.
