Seriously, I just want to say, when we started having this conversation about you maybe shutting down Pima and starting to do whatever, a handful of episodes of Freakonomics Radio a year, who knows how many it might be, it coincided with me really wanting to โ it's a weekly show, Freakonomics Radio โ
which is really hard to do high quality all the time.
And I do love it, but it's grueling and exhausting sometimes.
So I think this is like getting the band back together 20 years after we wrote the first book.
I mean, selfishly for me, I think it's great, but also editorially, I don't mean to flatter you so much, but I'm just really impressed with what a good interviewer you've become over the past five years doing people I mostly admire.
So I think you're going to make great Freakonomics Radio episodes.
Do you want to just give a preview of one or two that you're working on already?
I agree with you.
I feel like there are two basic types of conversation.
One is about a person and one is about a thing.
And yeah, you can knit them in, but it's hard sometimes.
I think it's going to be great for Freakonomics Radio.
I think it's going to be great for me.
I hope it's great for you.
I think it's going to be great for listeners.
Listen, you did a wonderful job the last five years with people I mostly admire.
So congratulations and thanks for letting yourself be talked into it.
That, again, was Steve Levitt.
Remember, we are going to replay the entire archive of Levitt's show from the beginning.
Just go to your podcast app and follow people I mostly admire.
