This is the time of year we share with you some of the other shows we've been making at the Freakonomics radio network.
Today, the show that around here we call Pima.
Full name people I mostly admire.
It is an interview show hosted by my freakonomics friend and co author, Steve Levitt, who is an economist at the University of Chicago.
The episode you're about to hear is a fascinating and wonderfully weird conversation with Pat Bohannon, an evolution researcher and the author of a new book called how the Female Body drove 200 million years of human evolution.
My guess is that after hearing this episode, you will want to go right to your podcast app and follow people I mostly admire.
