Listener Reviews

and as a 5 year old I can still remember putting my hands on Portage Glacier and staring at the patterns in the ice. There was a pullout near Girdwood and the glacier was in the parking lot. Now, you get on a boat and take a 15 minute ride out to it. If you have never visited this amazing state, you better hurry, the ice cream has definitely started running down our arm.

By far my favorite podcast! Shankar tackles topics with a quiet thoughtfulness that is utterly engaging - and his guests are always interesting.

Hidden Brain is one of my favorite podcasts, the stories are educational, informative and interesting. Would highly recommend the podcast.

I love listening to all of your Hidden Brain shows. Though sometimes surprising, they ultimately make sense as they reveal human nature. They always set me to thinking. I took Psychology 101 In college in my freshman year (1968) and found it so intriguing, though I pursued other interests. Your show makes me wish I’d pursued it, but then again, I can just listen to you! Many thanks for your regular insights. Your enthusiasm, sense of curiosity and discovery are always engaging.

thanks for replaying this episode, it is a classic and my favorite hidden brain interview!

This episode hit home for me. I had over 30 yr career in private businesses. I had many people ask me if I was a secretary. Shocked was the reaction when I told them 29 yrs of my career was in Information Technology- programmer, analyst, engineer, & management. I know I don’t have the patience to be a secretary/administrative assistant & I always showed respect and appreciation to the men & women in these positions. Thank you for bringing up this topic!!

I often re-listen to the podcast episodes as they are so so good. The editing with music/pop culture references are fun. Shankars voice is soothing and his thoughtful approach is lovely.
