Freakonomics Radio is an American public radio program and podcast network which discusses socioeconomic issues for a general audience.[2] While the network, as of 2023, includes five programs, the primary podcast is also named Freakonomics and is a spin-off of the 2005 book Freakonomics. Journalist Stephen Dubner hosts the show, with economist Steven Levitt as a regular guest, both of whom co-wrote the book of the same name.[3] The show is primarily distributed as a podcast, and is among the most popular on iTunes.[4]
