The Curiosity Desk

We explore the short and long-term economic consequences of going to war – with Iran or otherwise – with MIT Economics Chair Jon Gruber.

Plus listeners' linguistic curiosity questions are answered by Grant Barrett and Martha Barnette, hosts of the podcast & radio show “A Way With Words.” 

And it's time for "The Secret Ingredient" with James-beard winning chef Irene Li. This week Irene joins us with Tamika Francis, founder of the global cuisine-focused pop-up Food & Folklore. We’ll look at goat meat as an under-utilized and climate-conscious source of protein.
