Podcast Alley: Right Up My Alley with Freakanomics

 So, I have to admit that I was kind of looking forward to this assignment for a couple of reasons...I actually subscribe to a couple of podcast. None of them are very fun, I started looking into them when I was studying for the Project Management Professional (PMP) credential exam. Listening to professionals take on the standards and ins and outs helped me to understand the things that I'd read in the study guides. I'm happy to say that this assignment gave me an opportunity to get away from the more technical stuff and look for podcasts that genuinely interests me...enter Freakonomics.
I chose to visit Podcast Alley first to search for a podcast that wouldn't put me to sleep and I came upon the Freakonomics podcast. Whats' so great about it? Well, they recently did an interview with one of my favorite writers, Malcolm Gladwell! It was a bonus broadcast from May 1st....making today my lucky day!
Their typical broadcast topic is about, as the name suggests, economics but it isn't some guy boringly drowning on and on. The Freakonomics, Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner's,  broadcasts are fairly short ranging from about 30 to 45 minutes on a pretty good range of topics which means that you can listen while on a run or doing chores as I am listening to the Malcolm Gladwell interview while I write this...
For people that are interested in a range of topics in the area of economics Freakonomics may be just the ticket!
