Cautionary Tales Podcasts: From Surprising Human Error to Hilarious Fiascos




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Having thoroughly enjoyed this podcast study group at the Chicago campus, we are excited to bring Cautionary Tales to the Evanston campus during the second seven-week period in spring. This study group will feature a series of podcasts of true stories about human error, mistakes, and fiascos throughout history. Written and narrated by host and writer Tim Harford (the Financial Times, the BBC, 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 centered around a unifying theme.
