Consistently excellent

This is one of the few long-form podcasts that still remains from when I first started listening to podcasts. Most every podcast I used to love has either ended or switched formats to appeal to a different kind of audience. This show remains outstanding.

Love every stimulating moment, but just get crushed when he speaks. Too much. Dude is smart and likes to talk.

Great Pod!

My wife told me I’d love it and she is So Smart and she was right. Super fun and interesting!

But You Will Be Smarter For Listening

David does a fantastic job of illuminating many aspects of the way the human brain works and doesn’t work. Some listeners are critical of his left H political comments, but compared to other academics I have listened to and read, he keeps politics out of it except when the topic is closely tied to politics or United States culture. I personally enjoyed and benefitted greatly from the episodes which discuss logical fallacies. David makes learning fun

Everybody should listen

This honestly is one of my favorite podcasts! I’m a psych nerd too but I wish more people would listen and learn about these concepts. The topics are pertinent and really helps me make sense of the people around me.
