Steve Levitt Quits His Podcast, Joins Ours

Hey there, it's Stephen Dubner. For the past five years, my Freeconomics friend and co-author Steve Levitt has been hosting his own podcast, which is called People I Mostly Admire. The bad news is Levitt has decided to stop making new episodes of that show. The good news is that Levitt will be hosting the occasional Freconomics radio episode. The other good news is that starting now, we are going to republish the entire People.

I mostly admire Archive from the beginning. So if you never heard it, or if you missed some episodes, now is the time to get on board. Just go follow People I Mostly Admire in your podcast app. You will not regret it. In the meantime, I thought that today you might like to hear, as a bonus episode, the final installment of People I Mostly Admire, or Pima, as we call it.

It's a sort of exit interview with Levitt conducted by Me, and it starts now. This is Freakonomics Radio, the podcast that explores the hidden side of everything, with your host, Stephen Dubner. Hey Leviat! Hey Dumner, how are you doing?

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (46 minutes, 8,653 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 10 episodes for $5, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
