Stitcher and Freakonomics Radio partner for new show No Stupid Questions, coming May 18

New York NY, USA—Podcast industry leader Stitcher has partnered with Freakonomonics Radio for a new podcast “No Stupid Questions.” The show is hosted by Stephen Dubner (“Freakonomics Radio”) and Angela Duckworth (Grit). A trailer is available HERE.

Dubner and Duckworth have spent years exploring the weird and wonderful ways in which humans behave — Dubner as the host of “Freakonomics Radio” and Duckworth as a research psychologist and author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. They both like to ask a lot of questions, and have come to believe there’s really no such thing as a stupid one. On “No Stupid Questions,” they put this belief to the test, exploring topics ranging from friendship and parenting to immortality and whether dogs are better than people. The resulting podcast is incisive, humane, and occasionally charming.

No Stupid Questions premieres May 18, with new episodes available every Monday. Listeners can subscribe now on Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and anywhere podcasts are available.
