“Dubner is a shockingly naive thinker and seems to lack the ability to think for himself. He makes this clear in the opening podcast with his wide-eyed worship of Leavitt, who is, in Dubner's awed eyes "A data guy." Leavitt then goes on to describe some of the more obvious observations about risk. I chalked it up to an effort to drive book sales and get listeners for the podcast. But in the obesity episode, my worst fears about him were confirmed. Dubner is simply a sucker for the other side of any argument, regardless of the merits. Rather than delving into the other argument, he simply relies on the word of a single political scientist. I can see where this is going, and have unsubscribed before I have to listen to him interview John Tierney on why climate change is a myth.”Read full review »

“I spend most of my work day listening to podcasts but had been getting bored with the same format and general topics of some of my favorites so I was thrilled to find this one! Its witty and smart without being dull. Keep up the good work!”
