“Seems to have been dumbed down in the last few months. Presenter speaks really slowly and repeats everything interviewee says, like they think the audience are children”

“Pretty much the show that started me listening to podcasts. It’s a must for anyone wanting to understand numbers and stories of the day. Should be mandatory listening for politicians.”

“As they say they look at the numbers all around us. One often asked question is “is this a big number?” It’s always when a number sounds big but on large scales sometimes it’s actually not a big number. Many people don’t have have a good grasp of scale, as numbers get big they are hard to...”Read full review »

“The show used to be good but has become more woke to the point of not questioning anything in the wage gap episode as to why there might be any difference in salary between men and women.
Neglected to mention that women earn more than men up to the child rearing age and not commenting on...”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. 🤣”

“This podcast is amazing, and I really love how they believe maths can solve anything, but I think they should make more episodes on game statistics like their too fast for minecraft? Episode. Everything else was AMAZING”

Thanks :)”

“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.”

I would like to have access to some of the research articles, etc mentioned in each episode for further reading and education.”

“Well, that’s my opinion.
For the rest of us who are out of school, ‘More or Less’ sorts the wheat from the chaff (dating myself with that perhaps).
Keep it up for those of us who want to know—and appreciate—empirical evidence.”

In the rest of most of our lives we cannot escape covid. It’s the small talk topic, it’s never off the news, it...”Read full review »
