About this episode

This episode explores the consequences of innovation outpacing safety through historical and contemporary examples.

What happens when innovation moves faster than safety? In this episode of Round Robin, we explore pioneering failures—the moments where ambition, risk, and breakthrough ideas collided with devastating consequences. From the tragic story of Titan submersible and the ambitions of OceanGate, to historical disasters like the Hindenburg disaster, we ask the hard question: Where is the line between innovation and irresponsibility? We also highlight the legacy of Valentina Tereshkova—a pioneer who faced the same risks, but changed history in the process#OceanGate #TitanSubmersible #Hindenburg #EngineeringFailures #RiskVsReward Hosted and Produced by Tracy Preston, Featuring Christine Mulligan, Nina Mulligan, and Todd Preston Original music created exclusively for Round Robin by Tracy Preston Original artwork by Todd Preston
