Ctrl + Alt + Disaster

Ctrl + Alt + Disaster is a podcast about the small mistakes that cause big catastrophes — and what they teach us about communication, design, and human systems.Each episode dives into a real event: from space missions gone wrong to software crashes and engineering failures; blending storytelling with expert discussion.Hosted by Aaron Godfrey, Business Analyst at Fortesium, the show connects these high-stakes failures to the everyday challenges faced in software, regulation, and systems design.The goal isn’t to point blame, but to uncover the human and organisational lessons hidden in the wreckage and how we can all build safer, smarter, and more resilient systems.
