I love making the You Are Not So Smart podcast. It's a show about psychology that celebrates science and self delusion. In each episode, I interview a scientist (or several) and explore what we've learned so far about reasoning, biases, judgments, and decision-making. You can check out all of the episodes here: <a href="https://omny.fm/shows/you-are-not-so-smart/playlists/podcast" rel="nofollow">Link to shows</a> I would love your help in making it bigger and better, and in return you get the show ad-free. My fantasy and dream is to hire a staff to make the podcast as deep and rich as my favorite storytelling podcasts like Radiolab, This American Life, and 99% Invisible. If enough Patrons add their support, we can make that happen, and one day put out episodes weekly instead of once every-two-weeks.

THE BODY OF AN IDIOT (it's a book)

You get all the rewards from the lower tiers AND an 18x24 Department of War Math poster shipped to your door (shipping is USA-only). They were actually called the Applied Mathematics Panel, but in the YANSS article and podcast about survivorship bias I imagined how cool it would have been to call the military mathematicians of WWII the Department of War Math. Brad Clark of Plus 3 Productions designed the fictional propaganda posters used in the article.
