Podcasts do make boring subjects listenable. Most people blanch at the thought of history, or politics, or economics. But a good podcast can cut through all the resistance and share some good information in an entertaining way.

This is one of those podcasts, which is built off of one of the biggest books of the last decade.

“Freakonomics” helped explain the economy in a pop-culture way, and the Freakonomics Podcast keeps it going.

Recent podcasts have included “How to Build a Smart City,” “How Stupid is Our Obsession With Lawns” and how vilified pharmaceutical corporations are among the most charitable groups in the world.
