<i>So what’s it actuary about? </i>is a podcast designed to inform and inspire those interested in the field of actuarial science, those who have taken the leap and are studying actuarial science or those who have fought and won their qualified designation.

In summary, the aim of this podcast is to demystify the art of the actuary.
