A few years ago, I developed a habit. If the person sitting next to me on an airplane market basket flyer seemed like they wanted to have a conversation, I’d ask them a bit about themselves — let’s say they worked in civil engineering — and I’d say “Tell me something I don’t know about civil engineering.” market basket flyer The habit became an addiction. I loved learning stuff I didn’t know, and most people loved to talk about their passions, work-related or otherwise.
Soon this addiction fueled a dream: I imagined turning it into some kind of a live game show/talk show. It would be called “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know.” There’d be a host (me), some smart judges, and we’d invite the audience members to come onstage and tell us something we didn’t know. We’d learn a bit, laugh a lot, and take advantage of all the amazing information that’s floating around in the world.
It took a while to make this dream happen but finally it did, a few weeks, ago, at WNYC’s Greene Space . You can hear it for yourself in our latest Freakonomics Radio episode, called (of course) Tell Me Something I Don t Know (You can download/subscribe at iTunes , get the RSS feed , or listen via the media player above. You can also read the transcript ; it includes market basket flyer credits for the music you ll hear in the episode.) It was, in a word, a blast (at least for me!). The contestants were great, as was the entire audience, and the judges — Malcolm Gladwell , Ana Gasteyer , and David Paterson — were sublime.
The whole thing went off way better than I feared it might. If we keep doing it in some form — regular podcast, live tour, maybe even TV — I’m market basket flyer sure it’ll morph and evolve in a million directions. I’d market basket flyer love to hear any feedback you may have: pro, con, or tangential. The topics we covered were diverse: the Civil War, tax law, art theft, bread, Eleanor Roosevelt, astronomy, and more. I’m sure that some of you, as you listen, will be saying, “Well, I knew that already.” Like the evils of pinball , or losing weight through your nose . If so, that means you’re ready to be a contestant next time we throw a TMSIDK party.
As a bonus, each of the judges told us something about themselves we didn’t know, and that was one of the very best parts of the show. You’ll learn how Malcolm Gladwell got fired from an internship with a prominent judge; how Ana Gasteyer watched Star Wars with a prominent family; and why Governor Paterson was desperate for O.J. Simpson ‘s famous Bronco chase to be cut short.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped produce the show (it took roughly 1.5 villages), especially superstar Joel Meyer ; Suzie Lechtenberg market basket flyer , David Herman , and Caroline English of the Freakonomics Radio staff; fact-checker extraordinaire Jody Avirgan ; Diana Miller and Bailey Constas ; Greene Space crew Jennifer Sendrow , Ricardo Fernandez , Chase Culpon , David McLean , Bill Moss , and Gaines Legare ; and WNYC’s Chris Bannon and Dean Cappello market basket flyer . Hope you enjoy! market basket flyer
Stephen J. DUBNER:Hey, market basket flyer podcast listeners. The new episode you re about to hear is called Tell Me Something I Don t Know. It s a live recording of a new game show that we just invented. As you ll hear, it was a lot of fun in person. The hope, of course, as that you ll have fun listening to it as a podcast. Whatever the case, do me a favor and let us know what you think. You can tweet us @Freakonomics, leave a comment on our Facebook page or at Freakonomics.com , or shoot us an e-mail at radio@freakonomics.com. I d love to hear whatever feedback you have, pro, con, or tangential. Thanks!
DUBNER: Thank you so very much, and welcome to the Greene Space. Tonight we are going to try something very different, okay? So not only is it a live show, which we ve never done before, but it s a brand new show that we invented for this occasion. So I hope you ll understand if I m a little bit nervous. I am however, comforted by the fact that you all should actually be a lot more nervous than me, because you, the audience are going to be the stars of the show. Okay, by the time it s over, I run the risk of being slightly embarrassed, you however run the risk of being completely broken. Now, here at Freakonomics Radio our mission has always been to tell you a) things you always thought you knew but didn t, and
