Join us this afternoon at 1 as we welcome Freakonomics Radio to KRPS’s Saturday lineup.
Freakonomics Radio ferrets out connections between seemingly unrelated things. The program explores the riddles of everyday life and the weird wrinkles of human nature—from cheating and crime to parenting and sports—using the tools of economics to explore real-world behavior.
Host Stephen J. Dubner discovers the hidden side of everything in interviews with Nobel laureates and provocateurs, social scientists and entrepreneurs—and with his “Freakonomics” co-author Steve Levitt.
You can also hear Freakonomics Sunday morning at 5 on KRPS.
We’ve also added BBC World Service news headlines weekdays at 3:30 and Monday through Thursday at 7:01 pm.
Also, you can now hear Asian View produced by NHK World Japan weekdays at 3:57 pm right after Today, Explained.
