What happens when a bridge collapses? Or a space mission ends in tragedy? You call in forensic engineers to investigate.

Host Anna Ploszajski contemplates the nature of failure with Dr Sean Brady, who uses scientific and engineering principles to study structural collapses around the world, and who has acted as an expert witness numerous times.

New episodes - conversations about how to rebuild the world better - every other Friday.
