| 5/2/24 | 22. How Does the Lost World of Vienna Still Shape Our Lives? | From politics and economics to psychology and the arts, many of the modern ideas we take for granted emerged a century ago from a single European capital.

| 4/4/24 | 21. Are We Living Through the Most Revolutionary Period in History? | Fareed Zakaria says yes. But it’s not just political revolution — it’s economic, technological, even emotional. He doesn’t offer easy solutions but he does offer some hope. | — | ||||||
| 12/14/23 | 20. Why Are People So Mad at Michael Lewis? | Lewis got incredible access to Sam Bankman-Fried, the billionaire behind the spectacular FTX fraud.

| 9/21/23 | 19. The Facts Are In: Two Parents Are Better Than One | In her new book "The Two-Parent Privilege," the economist Melissa Kearney says it’s time for liberals to face the facts: U.S. marriage rates have plummeted but the babies keep coming, and the U.S. now leads the world in single-parent households. Plus: our friends at "Atlas Obscura" explore just how many parents a kid can have. | — | ||||||

| 7/28/22 | 15. Does Philosophy Still Matter? | It used to be at the center of our conversations about politics and society. Scott Hershovitz is the author of "Nasty, Brutish, and Short," in which he argues that philosophy still has a lot to say about work, justice, and parenthood. | — | ||||||
| 2/24/22 | 14. Why Do Most Ideas Fail to Scale? | In a new book called "The Voltage Effect," the economist John List — who has already revolutionized how his profession does research — is trying to start a scaling revolution. In this installment of the Freakonomics Radio Book Club, List teaches us how to avoid false positives, how to know whether a given success is due to the chef or the ingredients, and how to practice “optimal quitting.” | — | ||||||
| 11/18/21 | 13. What’s Wrong With Shortcuts? | You know the saying: “There are no shortcuts in life.” What if that saying is just wrong? In his new book "Thinking Better: The Art of the Shortcut in Math and Life," the mathematician Marcus du Sautoy argues that shortcuts can be applied to practically anything: music, psychotherapy, even politics. Our latest installment of the Freakonomics Radio Book Club. | — | ||||||

Hosted by Sarah Lyall. | — | ||||||
| 9/25/21 | 10. Check the Data: It’s a Man’s World | Do you think public bathrooms are too small, smartphones are too big, and public transit just wasn’t made for you? Then you’re probably a woman. In her book Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, Caroline Criado Perez argues that products and processes — from medications to snowplow routes — have historically been tailored for the “standard male.” Hosted by Maria Konnikova. | — | ||||||
