Bit of a niche query but I really enjoy the Freakonomics podcasts and was wondering whether there was a UK equivalent. I had a quick google but couldn't find anything. Failing that, any recommendations of podcasts along the same lines.
Anything by Tim Harford.
He's recently been doing the "50 things that made the modern economy"
Also recommend Myths and Legends too.

Make it your mission to track down the episodes of More or Less where he makes himself Trumptonshire County Councils treasurer and fires Dibble- 'Trumptomomics' I think he calls is
Cheers guys, much appreciated.
As well as More or Less, the BBC's Analysis, Seriously & The Bottom Line podcasts sometimes cover similar ground to Freakonomics. I enjoy all of them.
