Prodigy

Why do we do the things we do? Lowell Brillante investigates the complex details of our minds - from psychopathology to excellence, nature to nurture. We've sequenced the human genome and explored Mars, but we still don't really understand how our brains work. Join Lowell as he talks to leading experts about what we know and don't know about our minds.

    Remember the name: Lowell Brillante
    Another hit from the STUFF crew. Brillante puts on a research and writing clinic, which makes for a fantastic listen.

    Hooked
    As a person who finds it hard to keep concentration on podcasts, it is great to find one interesting and well produced in a way to hold my attention and interest. Hooked from the first listen. Can’t wait for season 2. My current fav is the episode on Synesthesia. Highly recommend.
  • Daniel's #1 fan!

    Really deeply researched and well put together.

    Fascinating take on intelligence
    Incredibly interesting. I never fully believed the 10,000 hour rule so it’s great to see a deep dive into it. So many interesting topics to cover!

    I love learning about what the mind is capable of and how much more we have to learn about it.

    Misleading Ads
    I really liked the podcast, but they run a lot of ads about Halodine. The ads make some pretty high claims about the medications efficacy, so I wanted to find studies on it. I can only find an in-vitro study about the medication, and the in-Vivo study hasn’t finished yet. So we have no results on the efficacy of the medication in clinical trials. This is upsetting to hear, you shouldn’t be advertising something that may or may not be able to protect against a virus that has killed 400,000 Americans. It’s no better than playing advertisements for peppermint essential oils. Without clinical trials, we should be hesitant of anyone trying to sell us things related to our health.

    Fantastic
    I’ve never listened to a podcast before, but I think I picked the perfect one to be my first! I can’t stop listening! The topics are interesting! The host is talented! So much information in the episodes and it’s done so well. Can’t wait to hear more from this host and on this podcast.

  • Carae7746
    Great podcast
    I thoroughly enjoyed the first few episodes of this podcast. The development of gifted minds is a topic we can all learn more about. I would love to see future episodes dedicated to busting myths about genius/giftedness.

  • maddiemc44
    Great listen!
    Love the range of topics that have been covered so far. You can tell a good deal of research has gone into each show, and all the interviews with the subject matter experts give it that lil extra. I enjoy learning something new with each episode!

    I’m so happy I found this podcast, I’ve been listening to it on my morning commute and it’s made the commute go by so much faster. Can’t wait for future episodes!

    Good, but…
    Interesting subject, but please lose the tedious 1-2-3-4 drum samples.
  • yagernation

  • AprilJo123
    Fascinating!
    I have young children so it’s so interesting to hear expert opinions and clinical research about nature versus nurture. Gave me some ideas on how to help my children develop their talents and explore their interests. Great listen!
  • ArtemioBaklava
    Thought provoking
    This is all super interesting and I’ve never thought about the subject matter from that perspective. Great podcast for a long drive
  • SebPhillips
    Incredibly interesting and refreshing podcast!
    I am a voracious podcast listener so when I saw prodigy and read the blurb I was instantly interested in listening to what it had to offer.The premise of the show surrounds humans who are incredibly gifted and analyzes and deconstructs what makes them that way. I see a very bright future for the prodigy podcast and I am very excited to hear from future guests on the show!
  • ASAudio
    Very Intriguing & Interesting
    Lowell has done a great job with this! Music, editing, interviews, and everything else. I love how anticipation is built for upcoming episodes. I can’t wait to hear more.
  • Corey Nolen

    Interesting subject matter
    Very well researched. Looking forward to seeing the direction this show is headed. I remember reading about deliberate practice and the 10k hour rule.
  • Mandopinionated
    Captivating
    This is the best podcast I’ve heard in a long time. Artfully put together with intriguing interviews. I’m totally interested in this in how my kids can be child prodigies. With the release of The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix this is a must listen to podcast. I can’t wait to hear the next episode.
  • MR.LA.ATL
    Fascinating topic
    I just listened to the first episode and wish there were more available right now! Fascinating topic. Looking forward to the deeper dives in the next episode.
  • gighnnm
    Awesome
    Love it, as a high achieving individual I’ve always said it’s mainly average intelligence with a lot of hard work. I’m excited to hear more!
  • Osofast10
    Can’t wait to see where this take us
    From the trailer I’m already hooked. This looks to be amazing!
  • Mr.RCD.85
    Intriguing
    I just listened to this trailer and am very intrigued by the topic. As a financial professional who works with behavioral economics and how to hack biology and psychology I’m very interested in this topic. I can’t wait to hear more!
  • thejoshcolumbus
