Hey, Bapu.

How's it going?

I like your podcast.

Thank you.

So why don't you just say your name and what you do?

My name is Bapu Jenna.

I'm an economist and a physician at Harvard.

I teach health care policy and health economics.

I see patients at Massachusetts General Hospital.

And I'm a professor at Harvard Medical School.

As if you need another job, you are getting ready to host a new podcast for the Freak

Economics Radio Network. We are about to play now for our listeners a pilot episode of

your new show, which I am incredibly excited about.

But first, let me just ask Bapu is not the name on your birth certificate.

Is it?

Is this being recorded for legal purposes?

No.

My first name is Anupam.

Bapu is my middle name.

It's really more of a nickname.

It's probably on every legal document except for my birth certificate.

So Bapu means father in a variety of different Indian languages.
