This Great Fail podcast was both entertaining and insightful.

Entertaining, educational, well researched, theres so much to love about this podcast (please don't let us go 6 months without it again!)

This should could be good if it weren’t 75% ads, like the most ads I’ve ever heard packed into such short episodes

I love the stories shared in this podcast and I listen faithfully. I am only put off by the sound effects that just don’t mesh well. It’s just distracting and sometimes actually startles me. Just get rid of those please.

Understandable that the reason for company or brand failure gets repetitive—not in tune with the times and trends, slow to react to changing business models, etc. But the audio capture of those interviewed over phone lines or zoom needs to be cleaned up; very muzzy and mushy. And the theme music has to go: sounds as if a kid is banging on a thin/tin pot lid.

So entertaining！

Great lessons to help people in business today, as well as providing great details into some of the most memorable business collapses of the last 40 years.

I can’t wait for every podcast of The Great Fail. It’s well-written, conciase, clearly delivered and researched only the truth without exagerating. I wish you all the best. Keep on podcasting!

Top notch stories, diligent reporting, and a great presentation voice make this show a must-listen for me!

Stories are interesting but the background noise/muzak is totally obnoxious and so disruptive to listening I couldn’t listen any longer.

Well-researched, clear prose, and interesting topics. I love learning about business failures and so far this podcast is my favorite one covering the subject. Thank you to the entire team for making such great content.

This podcast is everything I hoped Spectacular Failures would be! So glad I found it!

A perfect binge listen - lush production, well researched stories. Host has a great voice and great perspective. Can’t recommend highly enough, and can’t wait to listen to what comes next!

Debra is an excellent host, the pace is perfect, the stories are intriguing, and the lessons are invaluable.

Last week, my baby slammed his head into the spot just above my eye, and gave me a concussion. I couldn't look at a screen, and all I could do was listen to podcasts. Fortunately, I discovered The Great Fail and promptly binge listened to every episode, one after another. I LOVE the format. It's straightforward storytelling, very well researched with one or two interviews woven in. The host does such a great job balancing her expertise and personal experience with the focus on the story. Every episode has a nice rise and fall arc, with a moral. Despite the formulaic approach, there's enough variety in the structure of the writing, which is really strong. I also love the host's voice. I'm a sucker for business building/ failure stories and have listened to A LOT of podcasts on the topic. This is the one I've been waiting for. Congratulations and please keep them coming!

Engaging content. I appreciated the authors insights into a variety of brand stories. Looking forward to hearing more!

I love the voice clips that is nice way to break up some of the information! Keeps you engaged :)

Brilliant!!!!

All of these episodes are wonderfully wrought by Debra Chen. I am rooting for her to pitch the idea for a Netflix documentary or fun series.

Best podcast ever!

Debra Chen is an amazing story teller. I love her style and delivery. I feel like i just took a business class at Wharton after listening to her episodes.

Love the concept!

Each episode is a delight to listen through and the series so far made a fun binge!

Very compelling concept with unique stories. Glad I listened.

I really liked this - episodes went by quickly but I learned a lot! The host has a great sense of storytelling.

As our economy sinks further into the toilet, I can’t help but enjoy the schadenfreude that comes with listening to The Great Fail. Who knew that “having a bad vibe” was so important to a CEO’s wife (WeWork) or that light up shoes once, tragically, could cause mercury poisoning? (LA Gear) A fun podcast for dismal times. Keep em coming!

I wasn’t expecting the high quality production and story telling when I first listened. I was blown away and couldn’t stop listening! I’m hooked!!!

Informative and fun. Great to unwind to.

No idea these hidden stories existed! Love hearing the insights and history of prominent people. Thank you!!

In a culture that celebrates success this podcast has a refreshing perspective that peaks behind the curtain on some “success “ and their ultimate demise . I can’t wait to hear more stories .

A business and history lesson wrapped into one quick podcast. Great for listening on the road or while traveling.

Interesting, relevant and fun. My whole family devoured a bunch of episodes on a road trip recently. Highly recommended!

ENJOY these stories - chockfull of wisdom and super listenable

Really interesting to see this perspective in business! Would love to hear about how Tower Records or Robinson-May failed 🥴

Debra does a great job capturing the lessons of great failures. Knowing these great lessons we can progress in a better way. It's a super cool & interesting listen!

Love this take on telling the story of failures in business all while giving us tips on not what to do

Personally, I don't know much about the business world and have never had a great interest in True Crime, but still I love this podcast! Each episode is so well researched, and the inclusion of experts in each episode really help to lend credence to the points Debra makes. Also, gotta love that sound design!

Great educational podcast! Enjoyed it so much!

Debra and the team strike an amazing balance between "real crime" tone, interesting stories, and engaging presentation. The narration, music, sound effects, and production are top notch. The Great Fail is a podcast to keep your eye on!

Beautifully produced and fascinating content. Debra's approach to storytelling is spot on; the pacing, the build up, the reveal and the anticipated crescendo...I love it! Insightful, entertaining, and addictive!

Love the LA gear episode. You have a new listener 👌

As a huge true crime fan, I love the concept of this podcast. Debra is great storyteller! It’s so interesting to hear how these companies were once so big and had giant downfalls. Can’t wait to hear more!

“Great listen, happy to come across this”

I'm pretty new to podcasts, but really enjoyed listening to this one. Looking forward to keeping up with what Debra is doing going forward and highly recommend it.

So weirdly comforting to hear about the rise and fall of others - totally addicted!

What a great podcast! Each episode is fascinating and intriguing. Debra is an excellent storyteller and gives the listener an inside look at some of the greatest successes and failures in recent history. I highly recommend it!

Super informative and entertaining. The storytelling captivates you from the very beginning and keeps you engaged throughout. Great lessons for someone launching a business or currently owns one. I highly recommend!!

We can so often learn more from our failures than our successes. Thanks for bringing your podcast to life.

This is an amazing podcast series. It really tied together all the information and drama of the business failure. Well researched and entertaining. Keep up the good work. You've got a subscriber in me.

Very informative AND entertaining - well executed
