The Canal, the Crash and the Ketamine - Pushkin's Reign of Error

Today, Jonathan joins his fellow Pushkin hosts for a special episode all about mistakes.

Jonathan speaks with his friend, the writer Sheila Heti. Together, they muse on the cost of mistakes and whether we're really in control of how many we make. Plus, Nate Silver and Maria Konnikova from the podcast Risky Business give a gambler's take on the strange science of regret. And Tim Harford of Cautionary Tales tells the gripping story of a plane that ran out of fuel mid-flight.

Cautionary Tales and Risky Business are available wherever you get your podcasts.
