from: UX Murder Mystery: The True-Crime Podcast About Deadly Design Flaws Launches Its First Season.
A gripping blend of storytelling and strategy, UX Murder Mystery turns design post-mortems into investigations.
From the collapse of social media trust to the ripple effects of poorly executed redesigns, hosts Eve Eden and Brian Crowley explore how decisions made in boardrooms and design sprints can have consequences that echo across millions of users.
“Every failed product leaves behind evidence,” says co-host Eve Eden. “We’re here to expose how misunderstanding users, chasing trends, or ignoring research can quietly kill a product.”
With the tone of a true-crime thriller and the insight of an expert roundtable, each episode dissects a real case, revealing the internal conflicts, blind spots, and business pressures that turned promising ideas into UX tragedies.
Listeners can expect deep dives into topics such as:
- The dark side of algorithmic feeds and user manipulation
- The UX decisions behind major tech layoffs and platform overhauls
- How companies like LinkedIn, Hinge Dating, and Amazon lost user trust
- What designers and leaders can learn to prevent the next collapse?
“We treat every bad user experience like a crime scene,” adds co-host Brian Crowley. “We’re searching for the truth behind the interface — the moments where design stopped serving people and started serving metrics.”
UX Murder Mystery releases new episodes every two weeks on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. The first season features investigations, each spotlighting a pivotal design event that shaped — or shattered — public trust in technology.
