Hi, it's Dacker.

If you're like me, you probably have a wide variety of interests when it comes to your

podcast listening, a little psychology here, a little history there, which is why I want

to recommend a show perfect for those with eclectic tastes.

Freakonomics Radio has more than ten years and 500 episodes worth of answers to your

biggest questions, but don't be fooled if not just for economists and business experts.

Every week, Steven Dubner dives into the hidden side of everything, with the help of guests

including CEOs, artists, and Nobel laureates.

He breaks down all sorts of things, like how we choose the people we marry, and why using

swear words might be more important than you think.

So don't miss out, follow Freakonomics Radio right now, wherever you get your podcasts.

Growing up, my mother is from Nicaragua and my father's from the United States, and I was

born here in the U.S. and summers were spent traveling back to different parts of Central

America where we have family.

So we rode trips and saw all sorts of kind of crazy scenes growing up, you know, civil

conflict in the 80s in Central America.

And I think the idea of moving across borders became very natural to me.

And also planted a lot of questions about different ways that people live.

Many times, I think we try and find like, well, why would that person be leaving their

country or, you know, why are they doing this?

Why would you be doing this?

Turn the question back around, right?
