“This is possibly my favourite show and podcast of all time. Cuts through the nonsense and looks at real data in such an understandable way. If you don’t listen to this, you should, including the back catalogue. I look forward to every episode.”

“I like this podcast because it’s clear, go straight to the point and nicely animated. I know Tim Hartford from his book « The Logic of Life », it was a compulsory reading given by our teacher at the University of Geneva at that time. I loved it!”

“Dear Mr Harfort,
I am writing about your very interesting and solidly supported podcast —as is all the material you produce—on the US maternal-related mortality statistics,. You rightly conclude that the upward trend in the last two decades for the US results from a statistical mirage—the...”Read full review »

“It was revealed ahead of its release that some of those writing the report have direct links to a group that advocates for the practice of so-called ‘conversion therapy’ - something they didn't declare. Dr Hillary Cass herself met with 'Don't Say Gay' architect Ron De Santis...”Read full review »

“I’m really disappointed that they chose to let Hilary Cass, a transphobic quack, speak without also featuring any trans people or people with expertise on trans medical care. I’m unsubscribing, as I can’t trust them to present a balanced view any more.”

“Shameful for the BBC to be platforming Dr Cass, who collaborated with anti-trans lobbyists in the U.K. and US to create a sham of a document that is now being used to deny trans people healthcare. No trans people were interviewed for the episode either. Reaching new low every day at the BBC.”

“Used to really like this podcast but it has deteriorated to the point I’m unsubscribing for all the reasons already pointed out in other posts.
It used to be much better when Tim Harford was in charge.”

“So many claims that don’t seem right are made, even in reputable newspapers these days, not to mention the internet. This programme redresses the balance and calls out the false statements. Manages to be so entertaining too.”

“You did miss out on the central question re natural gas- will there be a world where it is not part of the energy solution- not by 2030, I doubt by 2050 so the question is do we need the supply not if it is polluting. A side from this,

Many people don’t have have a good grasp of scale, as numbers get big they are hard to...”Read full review »

“This is one podcast that I almost never miss. Give a listen;you will be almost be guaranteed to learn something…. More importantly it will be something worth knowing!
If you don’t care about the data or analysis, then just listen to hear Tim’s velveteen vocal tone and British accent. 🤣”

“It has often been good, but then the guest about the “gender pay gap” was a reporter from leftist NPR. I unfollowed the podcast. It isn’t that I object to disparate opinions, I object to activism masquerading as expertise. Surely the host of the show knows that there are experts on this topic.”
