More from the comments

I heard about the OP's article on the podcast "More or Less." Hats off to OP... BTW, More or Less is a great data science / stats podcast!

More or Less<p>A statistics program. Only about 20m per episode, they take a statistical question or a lie or similar and research where it came from and what the truth is.

Also worth listening to the More Or Less podcast on BBC r4 where they interview the Economist journalist involved.
