Where failure becomes the best story in the room

Funny in Failure is an Australian podcast built on a simple idea: failure is a necessity on the road to success.

It's wholesome, funny and genuinely inspiring, the kind of conversation that leaves you motivated to live a little better.

Listener review
“

Funny in Failure consistently features guests from all my favourite TV shows like The Simpsons, Criminal Minds and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which is what drew me in initially. I love hearing the stories behind their careers, and the journey that led them to where they are today.

What I enjoy most about Funny in Failure is that Michael asks thoughtful, insightful questions that go beyond the usual interview topics. He strikes a great balance between meaningful conversations and genuine laughs, which creates an easy rapport with his guests and makes every episode engaging to listen to.
