For over 50 years it\u2019s been widely reported that speaking before a group is people\u2019s number one fear. But is it really true? With the help of Dr Karen Kangas Dwyer, a former Professor in the School of Communication at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and Dr Christopher Bader, Professor of Sociology at Chapman University, Tim Harford tracks the source of the claim back to the 1970\u2019s and explores whether it was true then, and whether it\u2019s true today.
