Listener Reviews

I love this show.

I love love love this podcast in general. But this particular episode regarding games and impact to work…I felt like it was sped up in conversation. Ethan talks so fast it literally stressed me out no matter how fascinating his content is. Is he on cocaine or a bunch of coffee? Content was amazing but I was super stressed out by his speeding conversation.

Fascinating episode about making a career choice in studying and designing games and how they can improve our work life and our performance in our daily tasks. Well thought out questions and answers — a real pleasure to listen to.

My favorite podcast. I listen because it’s an enjoyable, accessible way to spark my learning on a variety of meaningful topics, many personally relevant. The host makes it an easy listen.

I have listened to almost every episode for many years now. I learn so much. I enjoy so much. My daily conversations are richer and my perspectives are continually diversifying. Thank you!!

When Shankar laughs, it makes me smile, his laughter is so soothing!

I’m typically a true crime podcast listener. Tonight, for some reason I needed something to lift my mood, pull me out of a mini funk. I listened to the episode called, Being Kind to Yourself. It was exactly what I needed! Great information that forces you to take a deeper dive into your feelings.

I really live this show. Some podcasts i listen to are an hour and a half to two hours and i don’t always have time but this is great and entertaining and my JAM. Also just went back to old episodes and they’re awesome

Hidden brain has been my favorite podcast since I stated listening to it. The topics are well chosen. They are not only educational but also captivating. I apréciate the dedication and consistency of Shankar Vedantam as the host and interviewer of hidden brain. His kind, understanding, and curious demeanor make every episode interesting and easy to relate to. I love it so much that I am constantly recommending this podcast to everyone I talk to. Thank you!

I always enjoy Hidden Brain, but Work 2.0 i shared with a more diverse set of family, co-workers and friends than any prior episode.Thank you for the fantastic research, insightful stories and fascinating presentation of this podcast. It is consistently my favorite. Keep up the great work!

of knowledge, reason, insight and introspection. It’s unfortunate that the people who need to listen to this excellent podcast aren’t and never will.

I always learn something new every time I listen to Hidden Brain.

I love this podcast—it’s intelligent, insightful, & well-produced. When I found it, I started to binge all of the previous episodes, and then finished all of it that is on the podcast app. However, I’ve noticed that they often repost old episodes instead of recording new ones, which I wish they wouldn’t do as much.

Being Kind to yourself is probably the best podcast I have ever listened. You have done an amazing job with weaving hard to understand concepts of human mind into a very compelling story. It might just help millions of people to understand that kindness is important in this world not just for others but for oneself too. Thank you

Everyone now thinks he/she can put together a podcast but invariably I am disappointed. It's because my standards for excellence have been raised by your excellent podcast show every single time. Your podcast entertains and/or makes me think differently about an issue I thought I knew. Thank you.

The September 28 episode with Eitan Hersh was the best one yet. I don’t think I have ever come away from a podcast with such an insight -into a subject that has fascinated me for years, but completely eluded my understanding. Thank you.

Hidden Brain always tries to look at every angle of an issue and thoroughly investigate both sides of an argument. Stories are thoughtfully and artfully presented. One of my favorites.

Love your podcasts! Thank you.

but there are times when I don’t want to listen to this podcast. Then, it starts and I’m always fascinated by the subject matter and delivery. If you like challenging ideas, then I recommend you listen.

Love this podcast.

It makes me think more complexly about the world
