Hi everybody, just before we start this week's show, we wanted to let you know we have a very exciting guest on.
It's none other than the undercover economist himself, Tim Harford.
Tim Harford is a brilliant writer, thinker, he makes books, he makes radio shows.
He makes books.
He's a bookmaker.
He's a bookbinder.
He makes, he turns trees into paper.
He's bound a million books.
It's so amazing.
You know, if you've heard of Messi or 50 things that made the modern economy or the undercover economists,
all of these books, they're by him.
They are, and he's got a podcast called Cautionary Tales, which I would massively recommend.
I've just been listening to a bunch of them.
They are brilliant and true life stories, which teach you things about how humans behave.
I've been listening to one about the mummy's curse.
There's an excellent one on Hansel and Gretel, which is really amazing.
And they often have a little twist at the end and really well told.
So check out that podcast.
But first of all, listen to this one.
On with the show.
