Ctrl Alt Delete

by Emma Gannon
147


Ctrl Alt Delete subverts the traditional career show. Instead, it's for people who are more interested in shaping their work rather than letting their work shape them. The main focus is work, wellbeing and creativity. Hosted by bestselling author Emma Gannon, she has a gentle line of questioning that starts with work, and ends up wherever the conversations lead. Named Best Business podcast by Vuelio, Webby award nominee and named 50 Best Podcasts by Sunday Times, Ctrl Alt Delete is a gateway into new ideas – with past guests varying far and wide including Elizabeth Gilbert, Reni Eddo-Lodge, Jacqueline Wilson, Lena Dunham, Julia Cameron, Priyanka Chopra-Jonas, Ava DuVernay, Gillian Anderson and Mrs Hinch.

    Learn Something New Every Time
    I love this podcast and am a committed listener. The wide range of guests and topics means that I learn something new with every episode. Emma’s perspective is thoughtful and sincere. This podcast got me through the pandemic.

    I hated podcasts UNTIL I listened to Ctrl Alt Delete
    Words can’t express how much I needed Emma and her podcast in my working life. Since the pandemic, I have been feeling many things, but overworked and undervalued sums up the vast majority. Ctrl Alt Delete has provided a space for my feelings to be validated, and it has been a powerhouse of encouragement on the most stressful days. Her most recent season has been fantastic, with my favorite episode so far being #360. I am still working through her previous episodes because once a week isn’t enough. Emma, if you’re reading this, thank you for providing a welcoming space for all people feeling down and needing the inspiration to continue moving, growing, and achieving.

    Entertaining, insightful and actionable! 🙌
    Whether you’re well established as someone who can translate creative energy into the impact you want to have on the world, or just getting started as a catalyst for change - this is a must-listen podcast for you! Emma does an incredible job leading conversations that cover a huge breadth of topics related to the ins and outs of building a thriving enterprise - and life you can be proud of - with leaders who’ve actually walked the path. Highly recommend listening and subscribing!

    Brilliant!
    I listened to my first episode of this podcast with Venetia La Manna as the guest. It was so good! There were great tips like looking at system problems and not focusing on pointing fingers at people. Emma and Venetia were fantastic and added a brightness to my morning. Thank you ladies! I look forward to listening to more episodes of both of your podcasts and the Remember Who Made Them podcast about garment workers. Love and gratitude to you both!

    Career. Art. Self. So good!
    Emma’s show and work are so refreshing. She curates the most interesting guests and everything conversation is fascinating. There are a lot of podcasts that are similar to each other, but Emma’s is uniquely itself. I also adore the bent towards writing and writers and art on this show, with some inevitable entrepreneurial insights and advice, too.
  • Katie DeWitt
    A must listen!
    I recently discovered this podcast and am now happily drowning in 4 years worth of amazing book recommendations, new apps to download and inspiring women to brighten up my IG feed. Emma is such a friendly and warm conversationalist and she has great taste in podcast guests! A must listen!

    Emma and her stellar guests shine the brightest of lights on what it means to be a female in our current culture!! Engaging, delightful, and hilarious are just a few words I’d use to describe the time you’ll spend with them. Thanks so much for putting out such a superb show Emma - keep up the great work!

  • NW909
    Love it!
    I’m a big fan of Emma’s show. Each episode encourages me to look at things from a different perspective or teaches me something new altogether. Emma is conversational, curious, and makes you feel like you’re eavesdropping on a catch up between old friends. One of my faves!
  • Brooke Craven
    Awesome Podcast!!

  • Friendofthepod1
    Title makes no sense
    This is pretty awful. No idea what it has to do with tech (Ctrl alt delete). The episode I listened to had two women talking about how to deal with everyone who wanted their attention, while supposedly talking about social media comparison issues.
  • Practicalpat
    Enlightening
    Listening to this podcast is like having all you're questions answered. You learn about yourself and how to live life.
  • Hdsvvisjrkqbrj
    Emma Is a Bright Light
    Emma Gannon's energy is always high, whether she is fangirling over the week's guest or talking about feminism. Despite being American, I always find her content witty and engaging because I think her bright optimism and cheery ability to critique the status quo are relatable no matter what country you hail from. This podcast is one of my "must listens" every week, so subscribe!
  • Acousticlilly
    LOVE it for my entrepreneurial journey
    I listen to this podcast religiously for the sake of my own blog and business because it's inspiring and applicable in so many levels. So good.
  • Cristeeeeenuuuuh
    I love it!
    Even though I don't know half of the people Emma interviews I love listening to their stories and always feel so enlightened! I loved the Zoella episode :) keep it up!
  • louisecroft
    Fascinating, fun and relevant
    Absolutely love Emma’s podcast. She gets fantastic and fascinating guests who are varied and all from the internet space. Charities, bloggers, authors, celebrities etc - a little bit of everything! Big big fan :)
