In episode 3 of The Nudging Financial Behaviour Podcast, we’re looking at uncertainty and how it differs from risk. This discussion is all about known and unknown probabilities. We also unpack two biases – The Gambler’s Fallacy and The Hot-Hand Effect.
We thought that the best way to really get to grips with these biases was to chat to someone who knows a lot about trading. Our guest is Garth Mackenzie, a prolific trader with plenty of exciting stories to tell about his years working on the markets.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
