Stephen Dubner

As a writer, I've always been petrified about losing anything I've written. I panic if the computer glitches and I lose even a sentence or two. And now, here, we had lost an entire show.

It'll cost billions of dollars to replace what can be replaced and a lot of it can't. So I guess I'm the lucky one. I thought back to this passage from a book called Genius and Anxiety, How Jews Changed the World, 1847 and 1947 by Norman Lebrecht. The passage goes like this. Moses said, the law is everything. Jesus said, love is everything. Marx said, money is everything.

Freud said, sex is everything. And Einstein said, everything is relative. To the 900 people who came out to our show that rainy night, thank you. It's nice to know there were some witnesses. And to everyone else who will never hear the show that never happened, well, take care of yourself. And if you can, someone else too.

Hey there, Steven Dubner. This year will mark a pair of anniversaries for us. And even though I ignore most anniversaries, these two have got their hooks in me. It has been 20 years since Steve Levitt and I published Freakonomics. And it's been 15 years since I started Freakonomics Radio. So we are thinking about making some kind of anniversary episode.

And as always, thanks for listening. In the fall of 2022, a new job listing was posted on a New York City government website.
