Each episode breaks down how “noise” — the random variability in judgments caused by moods, context, or chance — undermines fairness and accuracy across law, medicine, business, and beyond.

Each episode explores the shift from a rule-bound society to one driven by relentless achievement—where individuals have become their own harshest taskmasters, policing themselves with the rhetoric of positivity and optimization.
