The Economics of Everyday Things

As a senior producer at the Freakonomics Radio Network, I’m a regularly contributing producer to The Economics of Everyday Things, hosted by journalist Zachary Crockett.

About the show: Who decides which snacks are in your office’s vending machine? How much is a suburban elm tree worth, and to whom?  How did Girl Scout Cookies become a billion-dollar business? In bite-sized episodes, journalist Zachary Crockett looks at quotidian things and finds amazing stories.
