Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Tim Harford makes history compelling as well as giving it context, showing how it directly affects us today. He is a master storyteller as well. You don’t feel lime you’re learning, you feel like you’re being entertained!

I had previously listened to a few select episodes of Cautionary Tales (Blitzkrieg), but it wasn’t until Tim Hartford mentioned the show on the More or Less podcast that I discovered just how amazingly good Cautionary Tales actually is. I’m now thoroughly addicted and steadily working through the back catalog of episodes. Fascinating stories, amazing insights, well produced, smart and entertaining. Love it.

I look forward to each and everyone of the Cautionary Tales. The latest one “Steel and Kindness” is an absolute keeper for me!
Really love the research, insight and thoughtfulness that goes into each episode.
Tim Hartford is a wonderful storyteller!

This is one of the best written and best produced scripted podcasts ever. Such a refreshing break from endless “conversation/interview” podcasts.

I am a podcast junkie and this one is the one I look forward to the most. I've also listened to an episode and then followed up with more reading to find out more information. I cannot rave about the show enough

Just when you start getting immersed into the story, another 3 minute add break, resulting 1/3 of podcast being ads, ripping you out of the story. I get the content provider needs to make money, but how much does playing the same company ad 4 times in the same podcast pay?
