Why do we fear uncertainty—and what can statistics teach us about living with it? Nicolai Tangen speaks with Sir David Spiegelhalter, one of the world's leading statisticians and expert communicator of risk, to explore how we navigate an unpredictable world. From the psychology of uncertainty to lessons from COVID-19, climate change, and even weather forecasts, Spiegelhalter unpacks why numbers are never just "cold, hard facts" and how we can use data more wisely in a world full of unknowns. They explore why trust depends on admitting uncertainty, and what it means to build resilience—both as individuals and societies. Engaging, insightful, and sometimes deeply personal, this conversation blends statistics with human experience to explore how we can make sense of risk and uncertainty in an unpredictable world.


In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management. New full episodes every Wednesday, and don't miss our Highlight episodes every Friday.

The production team for this episode includes Isabelle Karlsson and PLAN-B's Niklas Figenschau Johansen, Sebastian Langvik-Hansen and Pål Huuse. Background research was conducted by David Høysæter.
