"Freakonomics" and "SuperFreakonomics," by Steven D. Levitt and
Stephen J. Dubner, are groundbreaking books that explore "the hidden
side of everything." Now there's Freakonomics Radio, a project that
includes a weekly podcast, regular segments on Marketplace, and
one-hour specials to be broadcast on public-radio stations across the
country. Prepare to be enlightened, engaged, perhaps enraged, and
definitely surprised.
