Description
Freakonomics co-author Stephen J. Dubner uncovers the hidden side of everything. Why is it safer to fly in an airplane than drive a car? How do we decide whom to marry? Why is the media so full of bad news? Also: things you never knew you wanted to know about wolves, bananas, pollution, search engines, and the quirks of human behavior.

I appreciate the highlighting of the high school/Broadway cycle - such truth about how each feeds the other and why.
Great podcast. https://sugardeferder.com
great episode i learned a lot Jessica's voice is like Bill Gates's thanks ❤️❤️
Fascinating to hear about how a piece of live theater is born.
I was waiting for Barbara Corcoran to jump into the commentary & say that high commissions are justified because moving a $10M penthouse suite in Manhattan is different from moving a $250k raised ranch in Des Moines. Realtors, for better or for worse, are only marginally comparable to travel agents: yes, they both do a ton of digital & physical paper legwork, but, with Realtors, their legwork also involves being a professional house-sitter for weeks while people traipse through so you can work.
Hi, Love this topic! How, specifically, would Jessica reform SS? I would love to see means testing, but how sharp of a progressive cutoff is needed? Is it income or assets? And make it quantifiable.
I hope this will help change the system! family member MD Dr is a drug addiction who specializes in "addiction treatment" they have OD & been hospitalized more times in can count. their 1st wife who was also a MDr OD and died on illegal scrips they wrote. board punishment = mandatory rehab. they have been in rehab countless times since. od and hospilized. writes scripts to their current wife (met i rehab) who is also a junkie PA, and od so many times....medical boards are a joke
I love this show and listen to it all the time... This story, it's just proof of what a good storyteller Stephan and the team are.. Even a story about a story that didn't happen was interesting! Thanks for showing how to make lemonade out of lemons!
TL;DR: Yes.
I like the idea that artists have an effective way to combat their art being used and regurgitated.
I've heard second hand accounts that there are escorts who are operating as realtors. The commission on the sales are low but the work gives them access to people with money. This is particularly true in places like Dubai.
in Iran, doctors always test if the patient has not used penicillin in the past 6 months. I'm not a doctor.
I was told by my mom I had a penicillin allergy. I was told at 35 by a doctor I probably didn't who went on to prescribe it for strep throat..I was in the hospital with anaphylactic shock for days, hives all over and a tongue so swollen I couldn't close my mouth along with a fluttering heart arythmia. don't take it unless you have been tested first and someone has an epi pen nearby.
