Downhill since Covid
This podcast used to be one of my favorites but has went downhill since Covid. Need to have a good informative episode about economics related to Covid

Overall favorite
Dubner is exceptional in adapting to totally different topics, and subjectively portraying it with experts.

Always interesting- less biased than most
Reading reviews of complaints from both sides of the political spectrum means you’re on the right track. I think you try to find that 3rd truth that is usually unpopular.

You’ve lost me.
I love great information. I do not love political persuasion pieces. I used to really love Freakonomics. I know you won’t care about my opinion because I’m a Republican. The second you read that I’m sure you will try to place me in small box and dismiss my opinion. Not because I deserve it but because that’s how closed minded the world has become. I’ll sum my complaint up by saying this... anyone can literally find an expert to say anything. Your world view is showing in your work and you have done a great job bringing in experts to support your beliefs. Just know, we see you. Maybe you are living in such a vacuum that you truly believe that the only correct thought is liberal thought. I have listened for months past knowing your bias, I did not dismiss you. However, I can no long take it. I think the upcoming election is intensifying your bias.

Is New York City Over ...
This is like an infomercial to have the federal government pay to run New York City. New York City why don’t you run your own city and not rely on the rest of the country to pay for your blotted expenses?

NYC Covid Population Decline
Great pod. I always learn something. You mention an estimated 125-200k residents have left since March and argue that’s not much in a city of 8mm. True, but its also true, as mayor Bloomberg has pointed out, that 40k families pay 50% of all the taxes. So, what really matters is....are the rich decamping. My guess is yes as they have the most to gain from re locating to Miami.......

Changed in recent years
I used to really enjoy Freakonomics, but I have noticed that they seem unwilling to name huge problems like racism and politics that affect economics. For this reason, none of their episodes during COVID feels particularly relevant. This is a huge oversight that does a disservice to the kind of content it purports to represent.

A long downhill slide from the greatness of Freakonomics
The uneven political slant has led this show to the bottom of the valley.

Interesting but so biased
I enjoy listening to some interesting points, but it nearly always presented with a left bias.

You guys need to figure out what impact COVID will have on the social security trust fund.

Dubner is a neoliberal capitalist who champions the racist establishment
I’ve listened to Freakonomics for years now and used to think they were interesting, but throughout the pandemic certain things have become clearer and I’ve changed my mind on a lot of things. It’s clear to me now that Dubner is a neoliberal shill who enables and defends systemic racism and is honey for capitalism, while conveniently not acknowledging the damage capitalism has caused modern day society. When you go to hell Dubner, I hope your version of hell is you working as a slave for all eternity. Unsubscribes and goodbye

Completely worth the subscription
I am a huge fan of both the approach and the content of this podcast. Stephen Dubner is an excellent host and interviewer. Frankly, I’m five years too late to this review, I have been listening as long as I can remember. If you like to consider new perspectives or consider fresh ideas and takes on things that you either “thought” you knew about - or didn’t even know you wanted to know about - this is the podcast for you.

Multi-perspective
