Maths and numbers aren’t your thing? Have a listen to Sum of All Parts and think again.

Producer Joel Werner finds a way to do what your high school maths teacher never could: make numbers thrilling and integral to everything happening around us. You’ll hear stories about sport, music, biology and superstition. The best part: they’re all told masterfully, with compelling narratives that make you care about the characters – even if you don’t care about the numbers alone.

This podcast is seasonal; we’re told it will return soon.
