Predictably Good with Cronan McNamara

Predictably Good - Conversation with Patrick Quade

Patrick Quade is the Founder and CEO of DineSafe and creator of Iwaspoisoned.com, a crowdsourced platform for reporting and detecting foodborne illness outbreaks in real time. Originally from Australia, he has a background in finance and technology, with roles at Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan, and founded DineSafe after experiencing food poisoning himself. Based in New York, he leads efforts to use consumer data and analytics to improve global food safety, with his work featured in major media and research publications.  --- Where AI, Data, and Predictive Intelligence Shape Better Decisions From public health to financial markets, from food safety to nuclear systems, the world runs on decisions made under uncertainty. Predictably Good explores how AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics are transforming how we assess risk, model outcomes, and make better decisions across industries. Each episode brings together leaders from science, industry, finance, and policy to unpack how predictive intelligence is being applied in the real world—whether that’s safeguarding food systems, managing financial risk, designing resilient infrastructure, or navigating global uncertainty. We go beyond theory into application: early-warning systems, probabilistic modelling, scenario analysis, and decision-making at scale. At its core, this podcast is about one thing: how to make better decisions when the stakes are high and the future is uncertain. Join Predictably Good to understand how predictive thinking is shaping safer, smarter, and more resilient systems across the world. Hosted by Cronan McNamara, Founder & CEO of Creme Global

Predictably Good - Conversation with Prof. Chris Elliott

Chris is the founder of the Institute for Global Food Security at Queen’s University Belfast and is an Honorary Professor there now. He is also Professor of Food Security at Thammasat University in Thailand. He has published around 600 peer-reviewed articles on the detection and control of agriculture, food, and environmental-related contaminants. Chris led the independent review of Britain’s food system following the 2013 horsemeat scandal. He now acts as a scientific advisor for a range of United Nations Agencies, governments, and industries on a range of food security topics. --- Where AI, Data, and Predictive Intelligence Shape Better Decisions From public health to financial markets, from food safety to nuclear systems, the world runs on decisions made under uncertainty.
