A podcast hosted by Mathematica’s J.B. Wogan that examines what we know about today’s most urgent challenges and how we can make progress in addressing them. Reimagining the way the world gathers and uses data, Mathematica uncovers the evidence that offers our partners the confidence and clarity they need to find out what can be done, how to make it happen, and where to go next.
Each week we present the true stories of people who’ve already stood trial for committing violent crimes, and see if we can determine whether the defendant was found guilty or not guilty based on the evidence from the actual trial. Every episode reveals the actual trial outcome so you’ll never wonder whodunnit, though you may wonder if the jury got it right!
