Author, journalist, and podcast host Stephen Dubner talks with Anna about the lead up to his book Freakonomics, his new-ish podcast No Stupid Questions, meteorology, cryptocurrency, tastebuds, positive psychology, predicting the future, what America gets right, what is love, and a lot more.

In today’s Unqualified segment, first to call in is Ryan, whose partner of six months has recently and only tentatively come out. While Ryan is very understanding with regards to the emotions involved, he wonders how long they must keep their relationship a secret.

Next to call in is Janie who wants to relocate to a more affordable area with her husband and her son from a previous marriage. Unfortunately, Janie’s ex won’t allow the move, leaving her and her family in an unmanageable situation.
