We are small little podcast where your hosts, Kara and Ed, look at historical and not so historical cases where we don't celebrate humanity's success but its most fantastic failures. There are always lessons to be learned in failure and humanity has run amuck with fool proof plans that immediately go sideways and fall apart shortly after executing those plans. Join us as we scour the "human-verse" in search for the most poignant, and often hilarious, failures and try to pull out what can be learned from these failures.
With an academic background in history, Kara has spent years digging into the past, exploring everything from ancient cultures to modern events. Her goal is to make history accessible and captivating for everyone, from the curious listener to the seasoned history buff. Whether Kara is in the classroom guiding her students through their own academic journeys or researching the next Dumpster Fire episode, her enthusiasm for history and storytelling is undeniable. In addition to her passion for the past, Kara has a love for creating. She has a knack for cartoons and illustration that she uses to bring her appreciation of history to life in her own unique way.
