Fantastic

I can’t get enough of this! Fascinating engagement on provocative topics feels like I’m back in college exchanging ideas with friends.

Comprehensible, informative, and useful!

I’m a PhD student researching reasoning and my dissertation benefitted from the first episode I listened to (the one about social norms with Michele Geldan). I’m impressed at how the guests and hosts can introduce and explain the topics and concepts in an accessible while also going into some of the detail of their methods and findings, and offering helpful citations throughout. It’s a model of excellent scientific and educational podcasting!
