The Human Risk Podcast

The Human Risk podcast explores the idea of human decision-making as a risk and what we can do to mitigate it.

I speak to people with personal experience of it, those who work to mitigate it and those who research it.

Join me for hour-long episodes in which I look for insights that can help us to learn more about the largest risk facing us all.
