Episode description

This week, Maria speaks with trust expert Rachel Botsman about her new audiobook How To Trust and Be Trusted. What is trust? Why, even in the face of overwhelming evidence, do we sometimes trust the wrong people? And what can a luxury hotel teach us about how to repair a trust that’s been broken?

And – for Pushkin+ subscribers – Nate and Maria answer a listener question about learning to feel the difference between probabilities.
