More or Less is one of the very best programmes on radio or tv, and one of the very few produced by the BBC that I trust to tell the truth. Tim Harford is an excellent presenter who makes statistics very clear.

The one I’d heard was least week’s - the link Lisagran posted. It made a lot of sense of risks for different age groups. Need to listen as hard to summaries accurately!

Ohh wish I had heard it, could either you give us one or two
facts, may stop us from getting paranoid, thanks in anticipation.

Very informative. I always listen to this, it provides balance. They look at the evidence and help to squash some of the media inaccuracies, and put statistical information in context.

Was that the one about Covid 19 statistics? That was excellent

Excellent ( as ever) clear explanations and interesting discussions.
