“Without Fail is the mothership of Gimlet productions that explains the foundation for Gimlet's other successful podcasts. The show explores the back stories of those who have struggled, succeeded and failed and not necessarily in that order. The production is unpretentious and the questions...”Read full review »

“The secret to this podcast’s success is the quality of people being interviewed and the way that they explain twists and recovery in their lives. We are lucky they are open and vulnerable storytellers because Alex’s interview style seems uninformed and without risk. His reliance on the question,...”Read full review »

“This is very good radio, except it’s not on the radio. I have control over it. It’s a podcast. It’s a podcast in which one of the most seasoned and skilled podcast interviewers of our time talks to some of the most influential folks of our time. It is the perfect concoction for audio and...”Read full review »

“A powerful episode. This is an important story for this moment in history.
Alex took the conversation to Truth and Twitter — what could be more relavant right now — and Megan kinda blew my mind. So good. Thank you.”

“We have a tendency to idolise people who build successful companies, or do something really brave and the social media filter doesn’t help. Listening to Alex speak to these people and getting them to tell us their story is really amazing. Great show, if that isn’t obvious.”
