Episode description

‘If I buy something then return it, I’ve basically made money. If I pay in cash, it’s literally free. Anything under $5 doesn’t count.’ If you’ve been on any form of social media lately, you’ve no doubt witnessed the fast-growing (and for many people, quite funny) trend, ‘Girl Math’. In today’s episode, we sit down with Bronwyn Taylor, a delightful and highly intelligent economist, to talk about gender stereotyping, ingrained sexism and the deep-rooted problems that come with labelling girls as mathematically less-than.

Whether you love ‘Girl Math’ or hate it (you’ll probably hate it by the end of this episode) this is a hugely insightful chat, and a must-listen for everyone out there.
