Indie History Podcast “Doomed to Fail” Celebrates 200 Ad-Free Episodes
Doomed to Fail, the indie podcast that unpacks the world’s greatest failures, disasters, and doomed relationships, has hit a major milestone: 200 ad-free episodes. Since launching in 2021, the podcast has grown a devoted following by delivering meticulously researched historical stories, laced with irreverent humor and heartfelt insight.
Episode 200 is a deep dive into the most expensive disaster in human history - The Nuclear Disaster at Chernobyl!
Hosted by longtime friends and self-professed history nerds, Doomed to Fail has explored everything from lost cities and sinking ships to catastrophic romances and cult movements. The show has made a name for itself with episodes like:
“Disaster at Shift’s End: The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire” — A gripping narrative of the tragedy that sparked labor reforms.
“Franklin’s Fatal Obsession” — A deep dive into the doomed Arctic voyage and the eerie aftermath.
“Operation Pastorius” — Nazi sabotage meets American beach vacation in a forgotten WWII plot.
“The Professor and the Madman” — When the Oxford English Dictionary is built on murder, asylum, and brilliance.
“The Great Molasses Flood” — Yes, it was real, and it was as absurd and tragic as it sounds.
“Some shows are slick, some are famous — but we’re just two people with jobs, families, and a lot of curiosity,” the hosts said. “We do our own research, editing, and promotion. Our listeners tell us it feels like they’re hanging out with friends who love history, and that’s exactly what we want.”
