Tim Harford (Financial Times, BBC, author of “The Data Detective”) brings you stories of awful human error, tragic catastrophes, and hilarious fiascos. They'll delight you, scare you, but also make you wiser. New episodes every other Friday.

This podcast is simply brilliant, so gripping, clever, surprising and with fantastic host, soundscape and actors. I want to listen all of them twice or more. Please continue with a 3rd season.
Superb storytelling combined with insightful psychology

This podcast has the perfect combination: the cautionary tales are masterfully told with a high production value. But the true power of this show lies in the uncovering of the psychological mechanisms behind the catastrophes. Highly recommended!
Highly recommended

This podcast takes a particular incident and uses this to explore a deeper theme. Very insightful. PS the sole three-star rating is my iPhone’s. I wanted to give a five star rating, but somehow my iPhone decided otherwise and I cannot remove that rating: a cautionary tale
The cautionary tales are great. They are also nowhere to be found.

This started out great. I listened to all the cautionary tales. But now, every time I see a notification for a new episode, it’s a giant letdown. An introduction to a cheesy parody book?
