More than a decade ago, John Bailer and Richard Campbell launched Stats+Stories. Now, after more than 350 episodes, the podcast continues to explore the “Statistics Behind the Stories and the Stories Behind the Statistics.” In this episode of Practical Significance, hosts Donna LaLonde and Ron Wasserstein sit down with Stats+Stories current co-hosts John Bailer and Rosemary Pennington (who joined in 2016) to talk about the next chapter. The conversation reveals how this innovative podcast has bridged the gap between statistical analysis and storytelling, making complex concepts accessible to diverse audiences.
Beginning in 2025, Stats+Stories will become an ASA podcast. The partnership between the ASA and Miami University’s departments of statistics and media, journalism, and film promises to expand the show’s reach while maintaining its signature blend of expert insight and engaging dialogue. Bailer and Pennington share their vision for deepening audience engagement and invite the ASA community to help shape future content.
The episode concludes with Ron’s entertaining “Top 10 Ways to Celebrate the Start of the Fifth Year of Practical Significance,” marking another significant milestone in statistical podcasting.
