Our take on Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford podcast
As we walk through life, we make many mistakes, some of which significantly impact our well-being. Many of these mistakes are avoidable only if we got cautioned earlier. Tim Harford takes his time every Friday to tell us true stories about mistakes we should learn from. These stories might delight you; they will undoubtedly entertain you, and most will scare you; however, they teach you something. Tom is also the author of "The Data Detective," a book on the rules to make sense of statistics.
