Freakonomics Radio · Steve Levitt Quits His Podcast, Joins Ours · 21 Jan 2026 podcast

So I thought as we got this list, it got more and more impressive.

Everyone would just come, but they don't.

Other than Taylor Swift, who's on the top of your wishlist?

I've always wanted Joel Osteen, the radio TV evangelist.

I just find the way he speaks to be so remarkable.

So even before I started the podcast, one day, shortly before my birthday, my wife Suzanne said, I have a surprise for your birthday.

We're going to go on a trip.

And my reaction was, oh no, there's nowhere I want to go.

There's nothing I want to do.

And I was so afraid it was going to be a party or something.

Thank God it wasn't a party.

How about a silent retreat?

Would that have been better?

That would have been better than the party, but it still would have been pretty bad.

But she took me to Houston to go watch Joel Osteen in person.

Those few hours in the Compact Center, which is where he does the preaching, it was truly magical.

I would recommend it to anyone, atheist, whatever.

It was a community of people coming together in a way that was so powerful.

And I always wanted to talk to him about that.

And I tried pretty hard to get him to talk to me, but it never made any headway.
