From BBC Radio 4 comes More or Less - a broadcast that aims to offer a
"statistical guide to the world and everything else." The show is hosted
by Tim Harford and released twice a week. In each episode, Harford
discusses the statistics quoted in recent news stories and new research.
For example, one recent episode investigates a recent claim from
Russia's health ministry that alcohol consumption in the country has
declined by 80% in the past five years. Another recent episode considers
various ways to calculate national success at the Winter Olympics. Each
episode of "More or Less" is approximately 11 minutes in length.
Visitors can access all current and past episodes on this website.
