Listener Reviews

Lame

Great podcast. Encouraged by efforts to understand children’s behavior, and the difference between supervised play and unsupervised play. I just wish I’d heard what happened to the fourth grader who couldn’t follow rules!

Hidden Brain is both interesting and useful. It offers a unique perspective on people, how they think, and their behavior that I've found to be helpful in my work, how I choose to live my life, and how I engage with other people.

I learn a lot when I listen to your podcast. Thank you for providing rational answers to questions I have about human behavior and psyche.

I was on my second week of not drinking and was in the middle of a craving when I saw this episode. I listened while doing chores. Completely got me over that particular craving and gave me a new perspective on why I drink at all. THANK YOU! Made it through my second weekend with alcohol!

Thank you for your choice of topics. This is one of my favorite podcasts. I always know I will be challenged or informed. Yesterday’s message “What is Normal?” was over the top excellent, so I needed to finally review the show. Thank you, Shankar! I’m 61 years old and still learning!

Shankar is such a great host and the guests are intellectually stimulating, from various backgrounds, who elucidate the subjects that are discussed. I feel I am always learning something! Never miss it!

This podcast has a unique feel. It’s like an video without the video!

Haha Shankar ur so dramatic all the time. <3

This podcast has helped me so much in my life! Every single episode has shone a light on things that I have never fully understood or thought about before. I love every single episode!

Some things you just don’t think about until you have to. Some things you don’t think about at all. Hidden Brain brings those things to you. Sometimes it’s heart wrenching, heart warming, or completely confounding, and it’s always worth the listen. I just listened to The Ventilator and I feel that I’m sobbing at the intersection of philosophy and storytelling. I am so deeply impacted by the ideas shared in this piece.

Hidden Brain is by far my favorite podcast. The host is so endearing, asks wonderful thought-provoking questions and chooses amazing topics and guests. I frequently share episodes with my kids and friends. Love this show!!

The insights I get from this show are priceless. I learn so much about myself and how I can improve. The empiric nature of most shows adds great perspective and credibility. I share and recommend shows routinely.

Most every episode provides me with much food for thought. There’s also generally some moral or ethical dilemma that’s being explored which I love. The most recent episode “The Ventilator” is most compelling and has left me grappling with my own mortality. Thank you… and keep these quality podcasts coming.

I APPRECIATE HOW YOU WILL REPEAT THE STORY POINTS BACK WITH YOUR CLARIFICATION AND YOUR WISDOM AND INTELLECT WITH OUT SOUNT SNOOTY :)

Shankar’s interviews and guests bring amazing perspectives about human behavior, thought, and ethics. I listen for inspiration and wisdom.

Shankar, excellent work here. Your podcasts are consistently profound. Your interview with Jonathan Haidt was nothing short of amazing. Thank you for your great work… keep it up!

Subscribe and follow for sure.

The topics you guys cover are so captivating. I love this podcast. Keep up the good work! -Niles

Hidden Brain does such a great job moving the listener through stories and discussions about thought-provoking topics.If you are in a place where you’re challenging your own personal growth, trying to overcome interpersonal or cultural challenges, or just interested in science updates about how our brains work then this podcast is for you. The full hidden brain team does great work. This podcast continually helps me in overcoming life’s challenges through thought provoking discussions and encouraging logical decision making.

Captivating, engaging, and thought-provoking with a 5 star presentation/production. Shankar's voice and presentation alone make it worth it. Thank you!

Shankar is such a great host and the guests are intellectually stimulating, from various backgrounds, who elucidate the subjects that are discussed. I feel I am always learning something! Never miss it!

Just a short note to tel you haw much I love your show!!!! Miriam, CA

I love this podcast! There hasn’t been a single episode I’ve heard that I didn’t learn something new. Every episode is interesting and Shankar has almost become my friend along side me as I discover new things.
