Welcome to a brand new podcast about the cultural phenomenon of widespread disappointment.
Throughout this series we will investigate a vast array of subjects including Morrissey, The Phantom Menace, corrupt spiritual leaders, the modern-day Labour Party, aliens, and the 2016 celebrity death cull.
And that's just the tip of the disappointing iceberg.
In each episode we'll ask: why are we so invested in people and things to the extent that we can be angered when they let us down? Why do we care?
We'll be talking to you, the listener, about your greatest disappointments. We'll also reach out to psychologists, journalists, researchers and other specialists to learn as much as we can about this fascinating subject – a subject we can all relate to.
