Listener Reviews

Well done
This is a quality podcast. I find the few reviews about the podcast being “political” almost comical. It strives to find deeper truth in life’s experience. It’s thorough, succinct and well worth listening to. I listen to every show. Some episodes resonate more than others and that’s human nature. Keep up the great work!
Very enjoyed
I like to listen to it every morning because it helps get me pumped for the day and I recommend it to all my friends and family!
It’s very interesting
I am from East Africa , Ethiopia . I don't normally follow podcasts but once I heard this by chance, I am always waiting and checking my phone for the new episodes, since English is not my first language , whereas I find it excellent to follow so I find it fascinating to listen very interesting
Smart, fun and important
This podcast discusses important topics that affect us as individuals and as a society. The information is science-based. The presentation is interesting and hopeful. I learn a lot with every show. I also find Shankar’s manner and voice soothing—just what I need in the midst of a hectic day. Listen, you’ll love it.
Worth a listen
Rich content… I learn so much in 60 minutes or less.
Hidden Brain
So glad that I found this podcast, it was by complete accident. But I have enjoyed several of the interviews I have watched. So awesome!
Such an interesting show
You can learn a lot by listening to this show. We love to listen as we drive somewhere!
Wish there were new episodes everyday…
I originally discovered this show via my local NPR station. I used to listen weekly on my Alexa device, but now I listen via the podcast while walking my dog. It makes walking in the hot, humid, Texas summers much more bearable. Social sciences examining psychology profiles and issues don’t get near enough attention in our schools, workplace, and daily news, especially information that you can use to improve your lot in life. This show does this. I only wish that there were new episodes everyday.
Loved it
Shankar’s voice is sooo authentic and clear. It’s so amazing to listen different stories , learn about brain.
Tools for Personal Growth
My favorite podcast. Not only are the episodes fascinating investigations of our brains, how we relate to others, and how we navigate society, but they often contain real tools for personal growth and broadening perspective. I frequently end an episode feeling inspired to approach life with a new mindset. I’ve even learned many practical and effective strategies to help manage depression and anxiety. And, despite the serious topics, the episodes are genuinely entertaining and engaging.
