Outstanding content!

I really enjoy listening to the Freakonomics Radio podcast. Stephen Dubner does an excellent job of finding intelligent, interesting, and thought-provoking guests on a wide variety of topics. I always feel smarter and more capable of intelligently discussing whatever topic is being discussed (even though I’m probably not) after listening to an episode. I have been a fan of Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner since I read the first Freakonomics book, and I feel like a learn something new or am challenged to think about something differently after each episode. Please keep up the great work! Love your podcast guys!

I love this show. It’s almost always entertaining and it’s always enlightening. The topics are fascinating, the guests are often outstanding people in their field, etc. Well worth a listen if you haven’t yet.

Holy anti-doctor! How interesting for a lawyer and academic to take shots at physicians, but not investigate the bar association and self regulation of attorneys by their associations. She wants more regulation of doctors but less of nurse practitioners/PAs citing access to care, but doesn’t want a path back to practice for docs who have mental health issues/substance abuse history? Also she claims substance abuse counselors have less clinical hours than a doctor? I’d love to see the math on that. To get an unrestricted medical license you get at least 3 years of clinic work (last two yrs of med school + internship = 7200-9600 hrs) Maybe I need to read the book to better understand her position. Overall love the podcast!

Begging you… I’ve ❤️you forever but after the hate & lies he spewed about Justin…. I’m so disappointed you’re giving him this platform….. They dropped Justin but Diddy is still on WME roster along with TONS of other people found GUILTY of worse offenses. DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE !!!! This episode won’t age well. Don’t tarnish a beloved book series & podcast 😢 Or do even better & give Justin a platform too. Guilty until proven innocent still in effect when I last checked… ugh… I’m speechless yall let yourself get used like this for evil.
