Carry the Two

by IMSI

Carry the Two pulls back the curtain to reveal the mathematical and statistical gears that turn the world. We’re the show for people who enjoy discovering hidden elements that impact our lives in the most unexpected ways, and math is certainly one of those! We are a curiosity-driven podcast that looks to find unique perspectives from the fields of mathematics and statistics. We use stories to convey how mathematical research drives the world around us, with each episode tackling a different topic. This can be anything from modeling how bees in a swarm make group decisions to how we can use textual analysis to reveal surprising changes in policy documents. You can also find Carry the Two on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Play, and Spotify. Carry the Two is hosted by Sadie Witkowski and Ian Martin. Audio production by Tyler Damme. Music is from Blue Dot Sessions.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

perhaps the scripted and painful banter between the two co-hosts will appeal to some listeners, but it is sometimes cringe-worthy and always irritating. i listen anyway, because the content of the show is terrific. but the podcast could be so much better if the hosts did not try to be cute.

This podcast splendidly mixes social issues with a subject I never thought I’d want to learn about, math. This podcast makes math relatable, shedding light on the importance of maths through the lens of the real world impact it can make.

Carry the Two convinced this stodgy old humanist that a podcast about math was (a) possible to comprehend and (b) a delight to listen to. Looking forward to more episodes!

Stodgy Old Humanist · Jun 2022

I really appreciate this podcast. It reminds us how math is imbedded in everything/everyday. The conversation between the hosts are asking all the right questions. The interview of guest is immersive and complete…. Investigating even the investigator. Recording and music were perfect. I look forward to many more. Sally Bass
