单集简介 ...

Bapu Jena was already a double threat: a doctor who’s also an economist. Now he’s a podcast host too. In this sneak preview of the Freakonomics Radio Network’s newest show,  Bapu discovers that marathons can be deadly — but not for the reasons you may think.

单集文稿 ...

  • Hey, Bapu, how's it going?

  • I like your podcast.

  • Thank you.

  • So why don't you just say your name and what you do?

  • My name is Bapu, Jenna.

  • I'm an economist and a physician at Harvard.

  • I teach healthcare policy and health economics.

  • I see patients at Massachusetts General Hospital, and I'm a professor at Harvard Medical School.

  • As if you need another job, you are getting ready to host a new podcast for the free economics radio network.

  • We are about to play now for our listeners a pilot episode of your new show, which I am incredibly excited about.

  • But first, let me just ask.

  • Bapu is not the name on your birth certificate, is it?

  • Is this being recorded for legal purposes?

  • No, my first name is Anupam.

  • Bapu is my middle name.

  • It's really more of a nickname.

  • It's probably on every legal document except for my birth certificate.

  • So Bapu means father in a variety of different indian languages.

  • It's what they used to actually call Mahatma Gandhi.

  • Not that I'm trying to draw any.
