About this episode

This episode explores how take-out pizza orders can predict international crises through data analysis.

You heard me right, pizza. How is that possible you might ask? On today's Missing Chapter Short, you will find out how simple Google searches and data analysis lead many to believe that the greatest predictor of any sort of global crisis is how much take-out is ordered at a single time.
