Why card counters can’t bankrupt casinos (with Steven Bridges)
Card counters should bankrupt casinos. They have an edge that means they’ll win more than they lose. But they don’t bankrupt casinos. And the reason why has more to do with behavioural science than mathematics. Today I chat with one of the world’s most popular card counters, Steven Bridges as we talk through how card counters use psychology to get an edge.

Why working at a large organisation will kill your creativity
In this episode, I discuss Derren Brown, Solomon Asch, the conformity bias, social loafing, my favourite reality TV show … and why most of us feel uncreative and unproductive at large organizations.
Tune in to hear Professor Ayelet Fishbach and I share why groups can dampen our productivity, why dishonest leaders create dishonest teams, and how to convince a sane member of the public they’re flying through space while sitting in a room in Ipswich.

How black cab drivers memorise every road in London
London black cab drivers memorise (almost) every road in the city. I wanted to know how.
Today, I interview one of London’s most well-known black cabbies, Tom the Taxi Driver. He explains how he memorised 25,000 roads in London sharing the memory tactics he used. We go into the science of memory, how taxi drivers literally have a bigger brain, and I attempt to memorise every capital in the world.

Customer Reviews
May 22 ep on social conformity
I love this show. I wonder about the example of an 18 month old “conforming” vs collaborating, mimicking out of a learning pov or simply wanting to help get that dang toy apart. Same with the group conformity of clapping assumption in large vs small groups- maybe people are more self conscious in a large group, maybe not but it’s worth accounting for personal preferences like in the boardroom example of the boss supporting a bad idea when only one or two people object, sometimes it’s simply a matter of people not having the credibility (seniority, strength of voice, confidence) to stand up to clearly poor executive decisions
Great information, great host
The topics are relevant, interesting, practical and actionable. The host is likable and easy to listen to, and his guests are interesting and informative. Highly recommend.
Best marketing podcast out there
There are many marketing podcasts, but I find the well researched information presented in The Nudge has helped me longer-term in my career. Rather than focusing on trends these are evergreen episodes that will make any marketer smarter and more empathetic with your audience.
