Choiceology with Katy Milkman

Behavioural economics told through real decisions with high stakes. Katy Milkman, a behavioural scientist at Wharton, opens each episode with a story and then brings in a researcher to explain the bias it illustrates, so a concept such as sunk costs or the pull of rankings arrives with a memorable case attached. It is made by Charles Schwab, and the framing leans towards helping you choose better, so some episodes end closer to advice than the academic shows on this list. The research guests keep it grounded, and the tight, scripted format makes it one of the easiest shows here to dip into.
