Meet Dr Ganga Shreedhar, behavioural and experimental economist.

Dr Ganga Shreedhar was an absolutely fascinating guest. She is an
assistant professor in behavioural science at the London School
of Economics. Ganga is an applied behavioural and experimental
economist studying how to change human behaviour in ways that can
benefit people and the planet. She discusses how the weather
impacts our mood, behaviour and perhaps more importantly here in
the UK - the nation's obsession with weather in conversation.


Ganga discusses why your mood might be low when it’s dark and
damp, happy when it’s sunny and warm and why a weather forecast
might never be right!


We were surprised to hear that weather might impact how much you
spend or how much is invested in the stock market and even how
much risk you might take day to day. On a more serious note Gang
discusses new theories about how to communicate climate change
and how we can all make a change.


This is a fascinating episode that taught Aisling and Gemma a
whole new way of looking at the weather conversation they love to
have.
