Freakonomics Radio

This is one of the best scripted podcasts out there. If you enjoyed the book "Freakonomics" by Levitt and Dubner, or simply like learning about interesting social and economic phenomena, this podcast is for you. Note that many episodes are very short however, and some have an extreme lack of detail and analysis. Sometimes an episode simply brings up a piece of interesting research and nothing more, resulting in a 6 minute episode, where 2 minutes are for the intro and outro.
