Freakonomics Radio

Freakonomics is a multimedia brand and podcast network that delves into socioeconomic issues through the combination of economics, statistics, and storytelling. It originated from the bestselling book *Freakonomics* by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner and has since expanded to include a variety of content such as books, podcasts, articles, and live events. The brand aims to uncover the "hidden side of everything" by using data-driven analysis to challenge conventional wisdom. The flagship podcast, *Freakonomics Radio*, features weekly episodes on topics like behavioral economics and societal trends. The network also includes spin-off shows such as *No Stupid Questions* and *People I (Mostly) Admire*. In addition to podcasts, Freakonomics offers a range of books that explore economic principles applied to unconventional topics. The brand has recently expanded its reach by distributing podcasts as video content on YouTube and continues to engage a general audience interested in data-driven storytelling and self-improvement.
