"We learn why humans irrationally feel safer driving than flying, why extreme sports scare us less than nuclear power, and how risk perception can be politicised. If you’ve ever wondered why climate change or vaccines have become fronts in the culture war, listen in. Yes, this series will terrify you. But isn’t it better to understand what we’re facing?"
