An exceptional podcast with heart
I learn new things with each episode. The content gives insights, real life experiences, and positive ideas with skills to move forward. IMO the most helpful podcast presented.

Love the show but…
This show has great content, and I appreciate quite a bit of what I’ve heard on Hidden Brain, but the latest episode (How we live with contradictions) was interrupted and cheapened by a sappy 50s love song. Nice try, but it didn’t work. Stop with the cutesy and stick with the science and straight information.

A great investment of time!
Diverse, reliable data and research, and always fascinating! Extremely helpful quite often. So very professional but often quite enjoyable!

A value add
This podcast has truly made me a better human being. I really see the value add in understanding ourselves and each other. I look forward to each new episode and really want to take the time to reflect on what I’ve learned and how it’s helped me grow in my career and personal life. Thank you to the team.

i would love to give less than 5 stars
because i’m very unhappy about this Hidden Brain + thing! Why must the great podcasts do this?
i love this host and the guests are phenomenal. It’s very classist of the podcast to keep the bonus episodes from us poor listeners who can’t afford to pay extra.

Prefer to people who like science facts
So I really rally really really really really really like this it’s in my 2nd favorite 🤩 but……STOP REAPEATING EPISODES! Please I beg you 🙏🏻 it’s so annoying I put it when I sleep so every time I wake up I find that A BUNCH! Of episodes I Already played get *REPLAYED* WHY!? I know I’m quite angry about THATS RIGHT IM QUITE ANGRY RIGHT NOW! But I’m gonna be respectful and shut up 🤐 And BTW * by the way* I LOVE science so I recommend it for ME I am gonna give it a 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ just as bonus for how MUCH I LOVE IT 😻 and if you like books or things to help you sleep I prefer the sleepy Bookshelf because it’s 1 hour or more per episode LOVE IT 😍 Well not ALL the things they say are facts AHEM! Hey you Shanker Vedantam your quite nice but🍑 *quitley* please try boba tea *soooooo yummy* but the fact that IT KEEPS GETTING REPLAYED IS ANNOYING. But I love history and science so I really recommend for history and science attracted people

Excellence in podcasting
Shankar & guests have kept me company on countless long trips. Far too many to calculate. I have learned a lot from the episodes. While not all episodes are for me, an overwhelming majority are ones I’ve found captivating. Thank you, Shankar & all on the production team for your tireless work.

A great listen!
If psychology and human behavior is a subject you like, then you will love this show. Shankar articulates very well and his team produces an insightful and interesting podcast every week. I myself have learned a lot. I have taken the advice of experts from the show and applied it to my own life with great results. I highly recommend!

Fantastic podcast!
I’ve been a listener since the beginning, and I think this podcast is helping to change the world for the better. I recently listened to the path to enough and the paradox of pleasure. As a person in recovery from addiction, these episodes really helped me understand addiction in even a deeper way than I did before…thus bringing more happiness in my life! 🥰

Disappointing
This 2 part series was fascinating and also hit home with depression and self medicating. The 4 week break is sound advice which I recently did for myself regarding a habitual glass of wine. I’ve stopped buying it for six weeks now. Next I need to apply it to my sugar addiction which, not surprisingly, got worse when I gave up wine.
I do also turn to the Bible for sound guidance such as this: Galatians 5:17: For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.

Has become my favorite podcast!!
I’m a scientist but I study microbes, so I learn new things every episode! Fantastic podcast! Great interviews of interesting people doing fascinating research that applies to all of us.

Enjoyed for years but the reruns drove me to unsubscribe
I listen to a lot of podcasts and I really loved the production value, great questions, and interesting topics this one explores. I first learned about it when some of the producers came to NASA Goddard and gave us a talk about how the show, and podcasts in general, get made. That talk was so excellent I subscribed as I walked back to my office. However, I have come across no other podcast that puts so many reruns in its feed. I’d rather have no new episode than a rerun. If there’s ever a separate feed of only new episodes, I’ll subscribe to that… but for now, the podcast will remain only a memory for me.

Anna Lemke Dopamine Nation
One of the best interviews I’ve ever heard. Such an important subject for our troubled times

The Paradox of Pleasure/The Path to Enough
I listen to a LOT of podcasts. I’ve never felt strongly enough to write a review about any of them, but I’ve just listened to The Paradox of Pleasure and The Path to Enough and… here I am. I am so grateful for Hidden Brain and in particular for these two episodes. Another reviewer described this podcast as “life changing,” and for once I don’t think that description is hyperbole. Shankar Vedantum is a consistently wonderful host (thoughtful, engaging and gently humorous), and the topics covered are always fascinating. These two episodes with psychiatrist Anna Lembke is a must-lesson. Her work gives me hope and a way to both understand my own struggles and to implement some changes.
