The Bystander Effect

In this episode, I'm launching a new recurring feature on the podcast.

In these Human Risk Talks, I'll be joined by co-host Tom Hardin and together we'll explore Human Risk related stories we've come across that we think are worth diving into in more detail.

You can hear Tom's story in Episode 2.

To begin, we examine the recent events surrounding WeWork, the provider of office space whose stockmarket listing was cancelled.

We then examine the phenomenon of marathon cheating and what lies behind it.

Finally, we look at some recent Insider Trading cases and explore what motivates people to engage in that activity.

We close out the episode with two recommendations. Tom talks about Lying, a book he's been reading and I share my views on the Netflix drama The Spy.
