Hey there, it's Stephen Dubner.
You are about to hear an audio version of a new TV talk show we're making called Better in Person.
Our guest this week is the mega bestselling author Harlan Coben.
As thriller writers go, Coben is particularly generous.
He nearly always heals your nerves, at least a little bit, after he's done shredding them.
If you would rather watch this episode, go to the Freakonomics YouTube channel
or you can watch better in person on Apple Podcasts.
You can watch it on your phone, but really it is a TV show.
So I'd suggest you use a bigger screen if you can.
But like I said, this episode you're about to hear in the Freakonomics radio feed is audio only.
As always, thanks for listening.
Always love this question.
If you weren't a writer.
What would you be?
And one of my friends says, a U.S.
Senator.
I'm like, oh, please.
