Radiolab Podcast: Numbers

Posted on January 27, 2015 by Mr. Lakhaney

“Whether you love ’em or hate ’em, chances are you rely on numbers every day of your life. Where do they come from, and what do they really do for us? This hour: stories of how numbers confuse us, connect us, and even reveal secrets about us.”
