Have you ever wanted to put your virtual d20 in "dice jail" after an unlikely series of truly terrible rolls? Does Spotify's latest shuffle algorithm not seem random enough to you? This episode is all about RNGs and random number generation — why we don't always want true randomness, and how we can get truly random numbers when we do.
