Been a fan for years, but not so much anymore…
I’ve loved the fact based analysis of many topics and provocative discussions. But that’s impartiallilty seems to be being - left leaning political views are shining through. Too bad because I’ve been a fan for years but not anymore.

Expertly Produced and Educational
I did not think this show would be my cup of tea, but I’m glad it was recommended to me because I thoroughly enjoy it. The production value is exceptional. No wasted time, great quality. Very interesting, educational, and usually has some humor to it. Who knew economics could cover so much ground? Sometimes the episode titles are a bit misleading and go in directions I wasn’t expecting.

Men and college episode
With such a clickbait title, am I going to be subjected to Jordan Peterson or some trash mens rights activist? 😒

Favorite podcast
Freakonomics always succeeds and being illuminating and engaging particularly in these dark times where evidence and data and rationality are so often left by the wayside, Freakonomics is a beacon of light

Best phrase
I look forward to getting this every week. A positive outlook on almost everything they cover, which is literally everything. Or as positive as economic views can be and the best sign off I have ever heard.

Is the dollar at risk in losing its status as the benchmark currency?
That’s the title for a future episode of Freakonomics! A five star episode for a five star podcast

Puts the “fun” in fun facts
This podcast makes it fun to learn and open your mind. Learning to think about something in lots of different ways is an epic skill that this podcast definitely hones.

Do yourself the favor of listening to well expressed stories about real issues
Data done right. Unique perspectives, considered background information, and USUALLY hard-nosed questions. (The norm rather than the exception.)

My Favorite Podcast
I like a variety of podcasts, but the one I come back to the most is Freakonomics. It’s always interesting, and often revelatory.

My first podcast review & here’s why
I’ve read the Freakonomics Books and love their outside the box factual conclusions. This podcast is the same. You will learn something new in every episode. If you listen to only one podcast make it this one.

Loving the show
Really informative and I’ve learned a lot on the show but it has a habit of being an echo chamber and not being challenging enough on tough issues. The recent school ones are shallow and reinforced by people already in the system. I was REALLY disappointed at these talks, especially being someone who was taken advantage from for profit schools (which I have many friends are too). It’s basically elite echo chamber. You didn’t even speak about issues with Sallie Mae and accreditation! Hope this isn’t the quality to come… it was a chance to shine a light on a generation to preyed on children, and it really came up short.

Must have this one in you list
This is the first podcast I listened to and it’s a can’t miss for me now. The range of topics they open up is broad, topical and historical; sometimes things that I would have never heard about, let alone understand. They make these topics understandable to economical and statistical dummies like me. Love it and People I Mostly Admire. Top of my list.

One of the best
This is one of the best podcasts out there, hands down!

Unique and informative
Maybe my favorite podcast. They explore pressing/interesting but also at times unique topics. Dubner presses guests at times, but is also light-hearted and makes the show entertaining too. I’ve learned a ton from this show!
