 * Seems like a no-brainer to me. I'll change it. This page could really use some work, so feel free to tag me on future requests. --FeldBum (talk) 22:20, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * FYI, you should (a) create a username and (b) Freakonomics.com is generally not a good source for a page about Freakonomics; we need third-party citations. --FeldBum (talk) 22:24, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Sudhir Breaks the Internet, with Sudhir Venkatesh, Footy for Two, with Stephen Dubner and his son Solomon, and Question of the Day, with Stephen Dubner and James Altucher are no longer active.

 * I'm looking into these, but we need third-party sources, not Freakonomics. I keep adding real cites as I edit. --FeldBum (talk) 14:27, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I found and made some other edits too. -- FeldBum (talk) 15:44, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Reason for the change: Google Play is now Google Podcasts and iTunes is now Apple Podcasts

 * Specific text to be added or removed: Journalist Stephen Dubner hosts the show, with economist Steven Levitt as a regular guest.
 * Reason for the change: Steven Levitt is no longer a regular guest. Stephen Dubner now hosts Freakonomics solo.
 * References supporting change: https://freakonomics.com/series/freakonomics-radio/


 * This doesn't say Levitt isn't a frequent guest. If you can find a source that lists that, I'll make the change. -- FeldBum (talk) 15:47, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm going to close this. Reopen if you have a better source. FeldBum (talk) 17:04, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm just an innocent bystander here, but doesn't it seem that requiring reliable, independent secondary sources every time we remove obsolete information from a page is going to result in a lot of wrong pages? BruceThomson (talk) 01:07, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I do hear that, but at the risk of being a clich, it's a slippery slope. We can't allow original research in one place and then forbid it in another. Someone has to have a report on Levitt leaving the show before I can add. --FeldBum (talk) 13:39, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
