Listener Reviews

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).

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!

This podcast is amazing! Really makes you think harder about who you really are and how you got here.

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!

… 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.

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!

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!

I cried: for me, for my son, for my patients.The most powerful Hidden Brain episode I’ve listened to.Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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

This podcast is informative educational and talks about interesting subjects. It keeps me entertained for hours. (JAM)

This show is one of the best podcasts ever!It is consistently intellectually stimulating. A must add to your playlist.

I love this show and the host and have recommended it to many people. I have a PhD in sociology and find wonderful lessons in each episode. For me, the best measure of any podcasts is not just the enjoyment of listening but the engagement with ideas. Thanks so much, Hidden Brain.

I immediately feel comforted when I hear Shankar’s voice. Innovative & interesting one of the best podcasts there is.

I really enjoyed the “The Edge of Gender” episode. Very informative and educational. Thank you!

As an Economist, I absolutely recommend this podcast to anyone who’s slightly interested in why we behave the way we behave. Kudos to Shankar for being such an amazing story teller, and same goes to the behind the scenes fellas.

Hidden Brain quenches my thirst for deep thought and self reflection. It excites my curiosity and makes me happy to be human.

I just love this show, it is something we all should listen to us

I have listened for a long time, but the unforgiving pandemic era news loop made me appreciate Hidden Brain so much more. The ideas are fresh, inspiring, and often ping around in my brain for months and weeks after. I have podcasts that I’ve shared from Shankar’s library for years afterwards because they’ve made such a strong impression.

I was so happy to find this podcast. I listen to Podcasts for much of the day while I work, and Shankar’s voice always, somehow, makes me feel better. He is insightful and kind, and I always have something wonderful to ponder after listening. Keep up the good work. Thank you, Shankar, for being a kind and thoughtful voice during these times we are living in. It means a lot to your listeners.
