Hello and welcome to the Data Book Podcast
Data is everywhere and shapes what we do, what we think and how we are treated in almost every aspect of our lives.
In this podcast series we’ll be speaking to authors about their data related books and maybe bending the rules sometimes and speaking to others in data related industries as well.
I’m delighted that my first guest is Tom Chivers, Science Editor at UnHerd.com, and co-author of ‘How to Read Numbers: A Guide to Stats in the news (and knowing when to trust them)'.
I talk to Tom about the book, whether he thinks the pandemic has changed people’s understanding of statistics and the backlash after having an article printed which called Bayes Theorem ‘obscure’.
