We vertellen onze kinderen enge sprookjes om hen waardevolle lessen te leren, maar deze verhalen zijn voor de educatie van volwassenen – en ze zijn allemaal waargebeurd. Tim Harford (bekend van de Financial Times en de BBC, en auteur van “De Data Detective”) brengt verhalen over menselijke fouten, tragische rampen en hilarische blunders. Ze zullen je amuseren, je angst aanjagen en je ook wijzer maken. Elke andere vrijdag verschijnen er nieuwe afleveringen.

We tell our children unsettling fairy tales to teach them valuable lessons, but these Cautionary Tales are for the education of the grown ups – and they are all true. 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.
Tim Harford’s life has been building up to this moment. In this Cautionary Conversation, he discusses the works of his favorite author J.R.R. Tolkien and the social science at play in Amazon Prime’s series The Rings of Power. What do elves and whistleblowers have in common? How can evil hide in plain sight? And where do orcs come from?
Season 2 of The Rings of Power is available to watch on Prime Video from August 29th.
