Are some statistics better than others? In this BBC podcast series, economist Tim Hartford makes sense of the numbers behind the studies quoted in political debate, news and everyday life. The ten-minute long programmes look at issues as varied as the gender gap in tech, whether people admitted to hospital at weekends are more likely to die, creativity and mental illness, the reliability of psychological studies, the numbers behind the migrant crisis, food surveys and the 8-hour sleeping myth. All the podcasts are available indefinitely.
