Back when we were doing the research for the show, we stumbled on something pertinent . . . The Museum of Failure. It's a touring exhibit that touts a collection of (you guessed it) failed products. And the stories behind these failures are absolutely fascinating. Well, today's guest is none other than the director of the Museum of Failure himself, Dr. Samuel West! What follows is an in-depth interview with Dr. Samuel West on everything from his selection criteria for the museum, the deeply human side of failed products, the time Procter & Gamble tried to rebrand diarrhea, and (sorry, Pat) why the DeLorean has its place firmly in the museum.
