Hey there, it's Steven Dubner and I have some exciting news.

As always, thank you for listening.
However.
And whenever you listen now, as for this week's episode, people often ask me, where do you get the ideas for your show?
And I usually say something like, well, I don't have a real job.
This show is all I do.
So I spend a lot of time reading, talking to people, wandering around, trying to sort out what's interesting in the world and what's underexplored.
