1. So much to learn - Dear Dr. Vedantam This is to share my deep gratitude for the wonderful education I get while listening to your podcast. Great narratives, in depth exploration of the topic, showing what is known and contrasting it with what is yet to be known - make this my podcast. It is the only podcast that I make dedicated time to listen with pen and paper. Thank you. Mikka nanri. Regards
Ramesh PS: I am puzzled why there are no sponsors for it. How are you funding this endeavour?

2. Easily in my top favourite podcasts. - Just finished the episode titled “the logic of rage”. I’ve been a listener for many years but it is this episode that prompted me to write a review. I love the narration, the story telling and the structure of each episode. It makes you think and introspect about things you probably never did before. That coupled with Shankar’s soothing voice makes it a must listen. Keep up the good work!

3. My morning staple :) - Recommended by my sister over a casual conversation, I am totally hooked to this amazing podcast. It has replaced coffee as my morning fix. The carefully curated content coupled with some amazing speakers and Shankar Vedantam’s calm & at the same time stimulating narration & conversational style is a big plus. Highly recommend.

5. Enriching and supremely insightful - Have been a long time listener of this podcast. For every episode the ground work and research done by Shankar and his team comes through in the questions posed to the experts he invites on his show. Every episode without exception has taught me about the subtle biases and heuristics we all have within us and how we employ them . This insight has helped me in my day to day life and. The unsung hero that he highlights every episode is heart warming . My favourite episode amongst many others is Creating God . Well done Hidden brain team . To many many more ... cheers

1. This show is a masterclass on podcasts - Vos Media podcasts are generally very well produced, and thoroughly researched and just immensely enjoyable.

1. The best science podcast - I really love this podcast. This is what I wanted from a science podcast. No bells and whistles, it is simple and most direct way you can onboard pure science. Podcaster is sincere in his approach to the given subject and explains everything very painstakingly - NO SHORTCUTS. It can be easily understood even by a layman. It has revived my love for science and rekindled my memories of what I learnt in school and had partially forgotten. Thanks James Fodor, you are great. Keep Going Strong buddy.

2. Really appreciated the persistence - I have started listening the podcast from start. He would keep asking for reviews on iTunes. As I don't use native podcast software for listening to podcast I never realized how much was rating. He has been consistently adding podcast from last years. Topics and the way he explains is very good to any one who may be completely new to subject. I realized it's not fair for James to less ratings. He is consistent, genuine and great efforts he is adding podcast. I wish him good luck. Thanks all the efforts and knowledge you share.
