Cautionary Tales Podcasts: From Surprising Human Error to Funny Fiascos




« back to classes page
Cautionary Tales is a series of podcasts featuring true stories about human error, mistakes and fiascos throughout history. Written and narrated by Tim Hartford (as seen in The Financial Times, on the BBC and author of The Data Detective), Cautionary Tales brings you fascinating stories about historical failures, analyzing them to find patterns and valuable lessons for the present day. Each episode explores either a tragic or comic event, and each has a moral, like a fable or parable. These podcasts are well produced with music, actors, reenactments and special audio effects. The study group will discuss two podcasts each week, chosen and led by participants, generally around a unifying theme.
