Have businesses become less accountable? If something goes wrong with your flight, train, or takeaway, you'll probably struggle to get a helpful response from someone. Today's guest on Nudge, economist Dan Davies, says this is by design. He calls them Unaccountability Machines, and they're taking over. He explains that they've caused the world's largest defamation settlement against Fox News, almost destroyed Boeing, and even massacred 400 Chinese squirrels. ---  Dan's book: https://profilebooks.com/work/the-unaccountability-machine/  Dan's Nudgestock talk: https://youtu.be/W-2He-YzjRg?si=Gqk30nCPLDxxEh52 Subscribe to the (free) Nudge Newsletter: https://nudge.ck.page/profile  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/  Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ ---  Today's sources:  BBC News.

Jon Hartley and Cass Sunstein discuss the current state as of 2025 of behavioral economics and ideas presented in Nudge (such as government nudge units), administrative law and regulation (cost-benefit analysis and regulatory budgets), Constitutional Law and separation of powers, political philosophy and liberalism. Recorded on August 12, 2025. ABOUT THE SERIES Each episode of Capitalism and Freedom in the 21st Century, a video podcast series and the official podcast of the Hoover Economic Policy Working Group, focuses on getting into the weeds of economics, finance, and public policy on important current topics through one-on-one interviews. Host Jon Hartley asks guests about their main ideas and contributions to academic research and policy. The podcast is titled after Milton Friedman‘s famous 1962 bestselling book Capitalism and Freedom, which after 60 years, remains prescient from its focus on various topics which are now at the forefront of economic debates, such as monetary policy and inflation, fiscal policy, occupational licensing, education vouchers, income share agreements, the distribution of income, and negative income taxes, among many other topics.

  Join Dr. Shine for a re-release of one of our most resonant episodes featuring Emily Donahue—a communications leader, storyteller, and deep thinker whose personal journey offers wisdom for anyone navigating change. In this heartfelt conversation, Emily reflects on the quiet nudges that guided her away from a high-profile job in Washington, D.C., toward a life of greater alignment and authenticity. Her story is not about abandoning ambition but about redefining success in a way that honors who you are becoming. Emily opens up about the courage it takes to listen to your inner voice, the importance of slowing down, and the value of tuning in rather than pushing through. Her reflections remind us that life isn't always about big leaps—it's about small steps toward peace, purpose, and clarity. Key Topics: Recognizing and responding to life's “nudges” Leaving a dream job to pursue personal alignment Listening to your inner voice amid noise and pressure Redefining success and identity on your own terms How storytelling shapes how we live and lead Permission to slow down and embrace transition seasons Whether you're at a crossroads or simply seeking inspiration to be more intentional with your life and work, this episode is a gentle reminder that sometimes the boldest thing we can do is pause—and listen.

In this episode of The Deductionist Podcast, we dive into the fascinating world of nudge theory, the subtle ways environments and choices are structured to influence behavior without force. From fruit placed at eye level in supermarkets to government campaigns during the pandemic, nudges shape our daily lives more than we realise. We explore the psychology and ethics of nudging, how it thrives (or fails) on scale, and why “behavior is contagious.” You'll hear real-world stories, from urinal flies in Amsterdam to Derren Brown's infamous heist, revealing how choice architecture can guide decisions in both everyday life and high-stakes scenarios. Whether you're in business, investigations, or just curious about why you chose that option on a form, you'll walk away seeing the world through a sharper behavioural lens.

Behavioral science holds the keys to some of the most effective, yet overlooked, marketing strategies. And if you're not thinking about it, you're already behind.  Daniel sits down with Phill Agnew, host of the UK's #1 marketing podcast Nudge, to explore psychological principles that can transform the way you sell.  From why loss aversion outperforms gain framing, to using scarcity without backfiring, to the surprising benefits of admitting your flaws, Phill unpacks examples and research-backed tactics you can apply today. And, what's up with Phill's reading list? He breaks down why you should read the 25 on his list…and why there are 5 to avoid.  If you're a Marketer who wants to understand the WHY behind your customers' decisions, this is the episode for YOU.

In 1985, Coca-Cola changed its flavour. You probably know that this was a complete failure. ‘New Coke' was discontinued after just 79 days. But you probably don't know the true reason why New Coke failed. Many claim it was due to poor market research, but today's guest on Nudge, leading consumer behaviour expert Philip Graves, disagrees. Philip says New Coke failed not because the research was poor, but because market research is inherently flawed. Want to understand the biggest marketing blunder of the century?

What if the chaos in conspiracy communities was by design? In this thought-provoking conversation, we're joined by a guest who's no stranger to the shadowy overlaps of fringe beliefs, government psyops, and the supernatural. We crack open the “Cass Sunstein Effect” and explore how psychological manipulation, social media echo chambers, and even the church contribute to a distorted search for truth. From demons to disinformation, from Crowley to cryptids, nothing's off the table in this deep-dive into discernment, deception, and discernment again.

In this personal solo episode, Carolin Rupp - Virtual Assistant, Social Media Manager, Community & Support Department Head at TMC, and Manifestor in motion - shares her behind-the-scenes journey of following the call to express, and the effect it had on people. From navigating criticism after her first solo podcast, alchemizing that anger to something magical to receiving messages that her words changed someone's life, Carolin reflects on what it really means to repel and magnetize as a Manifestor. She also opens up about the messy, brave leap she took to move abroad, and what it's like to clear out other people's opinions and finally follow the voice within - even when it tells you to do something wildly inconvenient, unexplainable, or risky. This is an invitation to all Manifestors who feel a little lost, a little different, and a little afraid of what might happen if they truly listened to themselves. You'll hear: • What happens when you share your voice (and people don't like it) • The difference between doing what's logical and doing what's aligned • What trusting the urge actually looks and feels like, and how it ripples. ✨ Whether you're in a season of uncertainty, standing on the edge of a bold decision, or simply curious how other Manifestors navigate repelling others and trusting their inner urge - this episode is for you.

Cass Sunstein has one of the most impressive track records out there. He's the author of the social change books Nudge and How Change Happens, a Harvard Law professor and former US government official in the Obama administration. He has been writing about animal rights law since as early as 1999 and has written several seminal papers on the topic. He has a forthcoming book, with the working title Animals Matter, discussing how we can normalise and popularise caring about animals in mainstream society.In this conversation, we speak about understanding the contradictory views held by the public on animal welfare, how our advocacy can help them overcome these contradicting views, how he was smeared by the media and even called “the most dangerous man in America” for his views on animal rights, and how we can get more people to speak only about pro-animal issues. For those interested in hearing more about his previous book, How Change Happens, and his views on social change, you can listen to this great episode of his with 80,000 Hours, which covers that topic in more depth.Referenced resources:Animals Matter – Substack Post by Cass Sunstein80,000 Hours podcast with Cass Sunstein on How Change Happens Justice for animals – Martha nussbaum If you enjoy the show, please leave a rating and review us - we would really appreciate it!

How would you encourage sustainable behaviour?  You might assume logical messages work best.  Stuff like “the average three-hour flight creates ~250–400 kg of CO₂”.  But today's guest on Nudge has tested logical messages.  And they don't work.  Today on Nudge, Toby Park from the Behavioural Insights Team explains how renaming a meat-free dish doubled its sales. Why targeting home-movers made Americans 400% more likely to cycle. How social norms can increase sales by 20%. And the reframing led the majority of Brits to choose energy-efficient fridges.  ---  Watch the bonus episode: https://nudge.kit.com/27720ca0ad Connect with Toby on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toby-park-67773279/  Read Toby's Net Zero Report: https://shorturl.at/Wy8RP How to Build a Net Zero Society: https://shorturl.at/0PcRk Sign up for my newsletter: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/  Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/  --- Sources:  Das, G., Spence, M.

On episode 242, we welcome Cass Sunstein to discuss the foundations of fame, the roles of information cascades and reputation cascades in fostering one's success, the rise of Obama as a cascade, whether talent is enough for sustainable success, how group polarization influences our perceptions, network effects and our dependence on others, the significance of luck, why talent doesn't always see the light of day, and the importance of cultivating a sense of pride and fun in our pursuits rather than pursuing fame. Cass R. Sunstein is the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School. From 2009 to 2012, he was Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Since that time, he has served in the US government in several different roles. Adviser to many nations and international organizations, he is the author of Nudge (with Richard H. Thaler), Noise (with Daniel Kahneman and Olivier Sibony), The World According to Star Wars, and Wiser (with Reid Hastie). We will be discussing his book, How to Become Famous: Lost Einsteins, Forgotten Superstars, and How the Beatles Came to Be.  | Cass R.

In today's episode of the history of bad ideas, David talks to political philosopher Alan Finlayson about behaviourism, a theory of psychology that has penetrated to the heart of politics. How did we get from Pavlov's Dog to a prescription for a better society? What is the relationship between behavioural utopianism and contemporary economics? How did behaviourism get turned into something called ‘Nudge'? And if we are being nudged into better behaviour, what is left for politics?

SOUL OF SYDNEY PODCAST #427: Our special guest playing the legendary Nudge Nudge Wink Wink parties up in Northern NSW near Byron Bay, dropping a dope selection of high-powered DISCO SOULFUL HOUSE vibes in the shed for the closing set in June 2019. We would have loved to be there for this one, the parties are some of the finest in Australia, pure music heads hosted by our good friends at Cunning Stunts. Check out the page for upcoming parties if you are ever up in the region for a dope afternoon. https://cunningstunts.com.au/ - While Stephen Allkins is in Sydney, we are lucky to be able to have him play the SPIRIT OF HOUSE tribute jam next month in July. Check out the mix and come down and enjoy the vibe as we pay homage to 30+ years of house music with an afternoon of SOULFUL HOUSE classics, 90's House & a solid dose of DISCO ROOTS. Sunday, July 6 @ 2pm at GREENWOOD HOTEL (North Sydney) Info at www.soulofsydney.org/spiritofhouse - About STEPHEN ALLKINS : ‘New York had Larry Levan, Chicago had Ron Hardy, Sydney has, Stephen Allkins..' It is safe to say that Stephen Allkins aka [love] tattoo could rightly claim the trademark of “Mr.Disco”, his extensive record collection & his infamous sets over the years. Stephen Allkins—aka [Love] Tattoo—is an undisputed icon of Australian dance music. A DJ, producer, and pioneer, he has been shaping the sound of disco and house music in Australia since the late 1970s, laying the foundations for the vibrant club culture that followed. From the earliest disco nights in Sydney's gay clubs to underground warehouse parties and mainroom raves, Stephen's sound has consistently pushed boundaries and inspired generations. Affectionately known as “Mr. Disco,” Stephen began DJing in 1978, spinning vinyl in a scene still forming its identity. He was among the first in Sydney to champion disco and later house music, earning a reputation as the “DJ's DJ” for his impeccable selections, deep crates, and intuitive ability to work a dancefloor. His sets were spiritual experiences, blending deep disco grooves, vocal house, and electronic soul with an effortless mastery that helped define the sound of a city. As [Love] Tattoo, Stephen stepped into the studio and brought his musical vision to life with a series of genre-defining releases that bridged the golden era of disco with the pulse of modern house. His breakout single “History of Disco” (2001)—a lush, soulful tribute co-produced with Paul Mac—was quickly signed by Pete Tong to Essential Records and released on the legendary UK label ffrr. The track resonated internationally and marked Allkins as not just a DJ, but a gifted producer with a reverence for dance music's roots. Today, Stephen Allkins stands as one of the most important figures in Australia's dance music history. His influence is felt in every corner of the scene—from crate-digging selectors and disco revivalists to mainstage house DJs and producers. With over four decades of contributions behind him, his legacy continues to inspire the next wave of artists and dancers alike. We are honoured to welcome him back to play the SPIRIT OF HOUSE tribute parties again at one of the seminal homes of the sound through the 90s. About the SPIRIT OF HOUSE: Spirit of House is a tribute party paying homage to an era of house that sits close to our hearts, a platform to get down to SOULFUL HOUSE sounds of 90s & 2000's & 90's House classics & of course the disco roots that form the foundation of that sound.

Sources:Salon: Deliberative democracy: Sounds boring — but it just might save usStanford: Could deliberative democracy depolarize America? Stanford scholars think so"Pedagogy or Programming? The Moral Case for Managed Consensus"Let's imagine a generous reading of the deliberative democracy project—the one where Fishkin, Diamond, and maybe even Sommer Gentry aren't scheming puppetmasters in a Stanford-branded lab, but earnest physicians treating a sick body politic.Under this view, deliberative democracy isn't a tool for reeducation—it's triage. It's not an escape room for the politically deficient—it's a refuge from the algorithmic inferno we've all been sleepwalking through. In an age where outrage is currency, and consensus is suspect, maybe creating a safe, structured space for pluralism isn't authoritarian. Maybe it's necessary.You could say: the experiment is the antidote.Yes, it smells paternalistic. Yes, it looks like programming. But look around—everything is programming now. TikTok. YouTube. Fox. MSNBC. Ragebait thumbnails and weaponized empathy loops. If every click already reshapes the public, maybe deliberative democracy is just counter-programming. If Stanford's behavioral nudges are a velvet cage, then Twitter is a behavioral meat grinder.So what if we flip the script?What if nudging isn't coercion but a moral obligation—when the civic arena is already saturated with weaponized behavioral design? What if using color revolution tactics on ourselves is a kind of inoculation, a way to protect a pluralistic republic from its own digital autoimmune disorders?In this reading, the voter is not a rat. They're a patient.Deliberative polling becomes a kind of democratic dialysis—filtering out toxins, restoring cognitive function, creating political coherence where before there was only tribal signal boosting and reactive posturing. The empathy isn't manufactured—it's restored. The shift in views isn't coerced—it's coaxed, slowly, gently, through conversation, not confrontation.Critics call this infantilizing. Proponents might say: it's an ethical reframing of political adulthood. Because maybe treating everyone like sovereign, fully autonomous agents in a weaponized information ecosystem is like sending 5th graders into a casino full of con men and propaganda booths.What if we do need a little civic scaffolding? What if treating voters as “electoral minors” is only condescending if you ignore the asymmetry of information warfare they're up against?After all, behavioral economics already reshaped how we shop, save, eat, and vote. What Fishkin offers is a version of that power used openly, accountably, and (in theory) neutrally.And then there's the global precedent. Europe runs citizens' assemblies. Mongolia runs constitutional deliberation weekends. Ireland used civic panels to move toward marriage equality. Even China, in places like Zeguo Township, has invited deliberative budgeting into its opaque governance layers. If managed consensus is such a dangerous tool, it's strange that even authoritarian-adjacent regimes deploy it to stabilize and legitimize policy, not to eradicate dissent.Of course, the danger isn't in deliberation—it's in believing deliberation immunizes you from power's corruptions. Paternalism always thinks it's helping. But in moments of fracture, triage can feel tyrannical to those who didn't choose the treatment.Still, if we believe democracy is more than mere arithmetic—if it is, in fact, a moral and epistemic project—then maybe we owe it to ourselves to create rituals of reason, however artificial they may initially seem.Deliberative democracy might not be perfect. But it could be the only operating table we have left before the patient flatlines.

In this episode, we perceive a path to face the fall in motivation, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 21, penned by Kaavanmullai Poothanaar. Set in the 'Paalai' or 'Drylands landscape', the verse portrays an attempt to boost a flagging heart.

One of NephJC signature moves has been to adapt new technologies and communication techniques to delivering state of the art nephrology education. Podcasts, Visual Abstracts, Tweetorials. NephJC has been on the front of these waves. Clearly one of the most exciting and controversial new technologies is artificial intelligence and it is unclear what role it may play in the NephJC educational package. Our blogs and tweets are written entirely by human minds but it is inevitable that as AI becomes the spellcheck of the 2020s, that it will leach into all of our writing. One AI tool that intrigues us is Google's NotebookLM. This product can create podcasts from source documentation. We plan on publishing a podcast before each chat. We are fact checking them before publication, but some mistakes may slip through. Please send you feedback, we want to know what you think of this. As always, the email is Captopril@NephJC.comThis will supplement and not replace Freely Filtered. One possible future move is to separate out both podcasts to individual feeds, but for now they will piggyback on each other.

Alex Greenwood explores the multifaceted nature of persuasion, particularly in writing and storytelling. He discusses how writers use persuasion to create believable narratives, the ethical implications of persuasion in various fields, and the importance of trust in the writer-reader relationship. Through examples from fiction, public relations, and law, he highlights the thin line between persuasion and manipulation, urging listeners to be aware of the narratives they encounter and the tacit bargain you make with the written word.CONNECT:​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All the Fits That's News on Substack (Free or Paid)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Alex's Author Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mysterious Goings On website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact Alex about advertising/sponsorship here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy a Book!⁠⁠⁠⁠ (John Pilate Mysteries)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Going to Killing City...Alex's true Crime Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hey friends—can you do me a quick favor?I'm running a short survey to get your take on my podcasts and All the Fits That's News newsletter.

Data that tracks what users and customers do is behavioral data.

Brooke Urick, author of Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge: Sexual Exploits and Secrets from Inside a Sugar Daddy Website, joins Bridget to discuss the seductive lies of sugar daddy websites, the murky world of "soft prostitution," and how these platforms prey on young women. They cover the long term repercussions of being on OnlyFans, what porn and online gambling are doing to young men, pushing boundaries to the extreme, the dangers of implied consent, the lies women believe about finding empowerment through sex, the truth about hormonal birth control, and their different takes on male/female relationship dynamics.

On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn't conduct interviews—she has conversations.
