S5 E4 - Stories Behind Numbers with Kate Kitagawa
Numbers feel cold and certain—but behind them are centuries of daring ideas, cultural exchanges, and surprising personalities. In our new episode of Unlocked: Stories Behind Numbers, we sit down with Kate Kitagawa, author of The Secret Lives of Numbers, to reveal the human stories and global history hiding in plain sight.
If you’ve ever said, “I’m not a numbers person,” this conversation is an invitation to see math differently: as a set of adventures, rivalries, and breakthroughs that touch everything from how we vote to how we navigate our phones. Kitagawa leads us through the moments when symbols became forces that shaped the world—and the overlooked thinkers who pushed them forward.
