Carry the Two is the show that pulls back the curtain to reveal the mathematical and statistical gears that turn the world. We’re the show for people who enjoy discovering hidden elements that impact our lives in the most unexpected ways, and math is certainly one of those!

We are a curiosity-driven podcast that looks to find unique perspectives from the fields of mathematics and statistics.

We use stories to convey how mathematical research drives the world around us, with each episode tackling a different topic. This can be anything from modeling how bees in a swarm make group decisions to how we can use textual analysis to reveal surprising changes in policy documents.

Carry the Two is hosted by Sam Hansen and Sadie Witkowski. Audio production by Sam Hansen. Music is from Blue Dot Sessions.
