Senior Producer, Freakonomics Radio
As a senior producer for the Freakonomics Radio Network, I’m a contributing producer to the network’s flagship show.
Show description: Freakonomics co-author Stephen J. Dubner uncovers the hidden side of everything. Why is it safer to fly in an airplane than drive a car? How do we decide whom to marry? Why is the media so full of bad news? Also: things you never knew you wanted to know about wolves, bananas, pollution, search engines, and the quirks of human behavior.
