Dr. Sam Savage is the gifted teacher all of us would have loved having as our professor in stats classes.

Sam is the author of The Flaw of Averages and Chancification. During this conversation, we talk about the arithmetic of uncertainty, probability management,  and the limitations of risk matrixes. And we do it on a fifth-grade level.
