Stochasticity | Radiolab Podcast

From the Radiolab podcast:A dance with all the facets of chance. First aired way back in 2009, this episode is all about a wonderfully slippery and smarty-pants word for randomness — Stochasticity — and how it may be at the very foundation of our lives. Along the way, we talk to a woman suddenly consumed by a frenzied gambling addiction, hear from two friends whose meeting seems to defy pure chance, and take a close look at some very noisy bacteria.
