Leading edge deep learning
Not exactly for the beginner but anyone interested in learning what experts are learning about how the human brain really works…you’ll find every episode a funhouse of mind expanding knowledge and as current as certainly any layperson could hope for.
A favorite!!
The Hidden Brain podcast is one of my favorites not only because Shankar Vendantam is a great host but it’s all the little details that make it worth listening. The music intros and outros are perfectly placed and the overall pace provides the listener with the necessary ‘white space’ to process the information or story being shared. The stories themselves are thought-provoking, interesting and timely and I’m always glad I made time to listen to an episode. Thanks to the entire team for producing this excellent show. Your work is appreciated!
A must for curious people
A perfect podcast for curiosity geeks who want to learn from other curious people whose interests extend way beyond selfies.
My favorite podcast
I love this podcast. I have learned a lot from this podcast. Definitely recommend!!
Pretty good
Engaging educational stories. However, A lot of noise to filter through in the feed - lots of rebroadcasts and unsung hero mini episodes
A great listen for everybody
I love how they present psychology in a relatable and empathetic way. Both enjoyable and enlightening. Some episodes really allowed me to accept myself and try to do better.
Psych applied to life
I love how they take psych research and principles and vividly show how they come up in everyday life… a really phenomenal show!!
Fantastic
I absolutely love this podcast. Each one is better than the next.
Hidden Brain is fantastic!
This podcast has taught me so much in such an engaging way. The host has a consistent curiosity, kindness and humanity that makes the stories really appealing.
Always strikes the right balance! Enrichment every time!
Of all the podcasts I’ve listen-and there are many-Shankar’s has always been “ right sized” no too long with added substance. His podcast is like a psychological power bar to keep you going. I walk away informed every time. Splendid job by the whole crew ( it takes a village to get these over the finish line).
I now look forward to Mondays— for the new episode!
These podcasts have enriched my life, and I’m very grateful for the work of the team. Especially for sharing positive stories through Unsung Heros. Keep up the great work!
Must listen to
This podcast is amazing! Really makes you think harder about who you really are and how you got here.
My favorite podcast!
This is such an awesome podcast with an amazing host. I learn so much from each episode. I haven’t come across an episode that hasn’t taught me something or that I didn’t like. Love it. Keep it up!
If I could have only one podcast…
… it would be this one. I feel that way about each episode. They cut through the chatter and get to the heart of the questions about our common humanity. “The Psychology of Self Doubt” is the best yet.
love this channel
This is my first time to write a review to recommend a podcast which really I love and make my daily life rich and joyful. Highly recommend!
Mind-blowing!
This podcast enlightens me and moves me simultaneously. The latest episode “Both Things Can Be True” opened my mind and made me text a good friend asking her out for coffee. We have had a few misunderstandings recently and I was ready to give up on the friendship until I listened to this. Thank you for creating this!
Both sides can be true
I cried: for me, for my son, for my patients. The most powerful Hidden Brain episode I’ve listened to. Thank you.
Awesome
Great podcast. I’m a bit disappointed in some of the reviews clearly written by boomers who just learned to use a keyboard and are calling episodes on climate change “political”. Keep your trumpie paws off of my freedoms.
Revelatory
Thank you. The recent program “Both Sides Can Be True” put into words ideas, concepts, and aspirations I am struggling to embody—& put into perspective my own similar experiences about which I am strongly drawn ti categorise in black-and-white terms. Am uplifted and empowered now to move ahead in my own project of…integrative complexity.
Amazing podcast!
Long time listener here. The most recent episode “Both Things Can Be True” was incredibly moving and exactly what the world needs as we appear so divided. Keep these amazing stories coming, they make the world a better place.
Please keep going!
With 400+ episodes, it’s just not enough. Please keep going, I don’t know what I would listen to every morning if I ran out of episodes.

What a woman. I soooo hoped she’d be single as she lives in my village.

My life got better
