“I feel in very safe hands with Tim Harford. Information I know I can trust presented in a clear and understandable way. I love his inclusive style and the "what the producer doesn't understand" element is frequently a question I've been thinking about too, it's a great idea.”Read full review »

“It is very timely to have an informative discussion with knowledgeable people who are not trying to justify themselves, bend the facts or sell something. It was helped by having a sympathetic interviewer in Tim Hartford. Looking forward to the rest of the series very much.”
