Hey there, Stephen Dubner.

On August 21st, the Freakonomics Radio Network is launching another new podcast, but not

just any podcast.

It's an interview show hosted by my Freakonomics friend and co-author, Steve Levin.

It won't take you long to figure out that I'm not your regular interviewer.

I'm not very polished, I'm not very articulate, but I just think differently than other people.

The new show is called People I Mostly Admire.

Some of them are going to be household names, and some of them are going to be people that

you would never hear of otherwise.

Levin has a tendency to ask questions that most people wouldn't.

Well you kind of bad at that job, it doesn't seem like you have a lot of the traits that

would make so many great computer programmers.

Subscribe now to People I Mostly Admire.

It's available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Thanks.

I grew up on the Oscars of London, my mum was florist, my dad was a businessman, I didn't

really know much about that.

It's Kate Rayworth.

I am a renegade economist passionate about rewriting economics, it needs to be rewritten,

let's do it.

Rayworth teaches at Oxford University's Environmental Change Institute.

She admits that as a kid she was a bit sheltered.
