Freakonomics Radio is an American public radio program and podcast network which discusses socioeconomic issues for a general audience.[1] 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.[2] The show is primarily distributed as a podcast, and is among the most popular on iTunes.[3]

History

Freakonomics Radio was created in September 2010.[4] Starting in July 2018, production moved from WNYC to Stitcher Radio;[5] Freakonomics Radio is released at 11 p.m. on Wednesday each week on podcast aggregators such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, as well as on the Freakonomics website.[6]
