By Stephen Dubner Verified| Freakonomics. Verified Episode Transcript Making something out of nothing is hard. In the beginning, all you have is your imagination; it’s your only tool, your only muscle. But if you are determined — and lucky — that thing in your imagination can become real. And then, if you’re very lucky, people will pay to see it. Rocco LANDESMAN: There’s been theater since the beginning of man, really. What is theater?
By Stephen Dubner Verified| Freakonomics. Verified Episode Transcript Hey there, it’s Stephen Dubner. We just published a two-part series on what some people call sludge — meaning, all the frictions that make it hard to fill out tax forms or find a healthcare provider or even cancel a subscription. One part of our series involved government sludge, and how it interferes with getting policy done.

Company Info
Freakonomics Radio
Freakonomics is a multimedia brand and podcast network that delves into socioeconomic issues through the combination of economics, statistics, and storytelling. It originated from the bestselling book *Freakonomics* by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner and has since expanded to include a variety of content such as books, podcasts, articles, and live events. The brand aims to uncover the "hidden side of everything" by using data-driven analysis to challenge conventional wisdom. The flagship podcast, *Freakonomics Radio*, features weekly episodes on topics like behavioral economics and societal trends. The network also includes spin-off shows such as *No Stupid Questions* and *People I (Mostly) Admire*. In addition to podcasts, Freakonomics offers a range of books that explore economic principles applied to unconventional topics. The brand has recently expanded its reach by distributing podcasts as video content on YouTube and continues to engage a general audience interested in data-driven storytelling and self-improvement.
