1.Freakonomics Radio
As its name suggests, Freakonomics Radio is based in large part on the best-selling Freakonomics and Superfreakonomics books by journalist Stephen Dubner and economist Steve Levitt. And, just as with the books, the podcast takes economic principals and theories, and applies them to just about every aspect of modern life.
Some episodes offer principles that can be directly applied to business; others are quirkier and more whimsical in nature. Regardless of the subject, though, the show is always very entertaining.
