Great fun!
Great fun with curious insights.
Just like the book Freakonomics.
Excellent show!
Very well researched and presented, always surprising and entertaining. One of the best podcasts on the market and one where you always learn a little (or a lot) about things you probably already heard about in the news or thought you knew about.
My favourite podcast series of all time
