Today, a 13th series of the hugely popular podcast How to Fail with Elizabeth Day has been announced. Hosted by award-winning author and journalist, Elizabeth Day, the podcast celebrates the things that haven’t gone right, and each week, a new interviewee explores what their failures taught them about how to succeed better.

The first episode of series 13 is available to stream now on Global Player and features researcher and storyteller Brené Brown.
