Hey there, it's Steven Dubner.
If you divided the world into two groups of people,
one that likes to ask questions and one that would rather answer them,
I would definitely be in the first group, the question askers.
It's what I do for a living, but it's also one of my very favorite.
things to do.
But once in a while, I do find myself on the answering end of things, and that can be fun too.
It certainly was when I recently sat down with Debbie Milman, a designer,
educator, and writer who is host of the podcast, Design Matters.
And that's the episode we are about to play for you.
As you'll hear, we are coming up on a couple of big anniversaries around here,
20 years since Steve Levitt and I published Freakonomics and 15 years
since I launched Freakonomics Radio.
You'll also hear a bit about a new project.
I'm starting a TV talk show with the working title Better in Person.
You'll hear more about that in the months to come.
In the meantime, if you want to catch me in person, I will be in Washington, DC on Sunday,
November 2nd to celebrate 20 years of Freakonomics in conversation with Jeff Bennett at 6th and I. And I will be in New York City on Thursday,
November 13th in conversation with Bud Mishkin at the 92nd Street Y. For tickets for the New York and DC events,
