WYSO is partnering with Stats and Stories, a podcast produced at Miami University.

Red meat increases your risk of heart disease. A glass of wine is good for you. Carbs are evil and lead to a life of sedentary couch surfing. We’ve all heard these claims about what is good for our health, but what is true? Clinically evaluating these studies that serve as the foundation of these claims is the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories.  John Bailer and regular panelist Richard Campbell of Media, Journalism and Film are joined by Dr. David Allison, Dean, distinguished professor and provost professor at Indiana University in Bloomington. 

Stats and Stories is a partnership between Miami University's Departments of Statistics and Media, Journalism and Film and the American Statistical Association. You can follow us on Twitter or iTunes. If you'd like to share your thoughts on our program, send your e-mail to statsandstories@miamioh.edu and be sure to listen for future editions of Stats and Stories where we discuss the statistics behind the stories and the stories behind the statistics.
