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

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!

1. This show is a masterclass on podcasts - Vos Media podcasts are generally very well produced, and thoroughly researched and just immensely enjoyable. However, in my opinion, Unexplainable is in a different stratosphere all together. The subject matter for each episode is extremely fascinating! Especially, the ongoing ‘Lost World’ series - the sound design in this one makes it cinematic!
Thank you, Vox, for always creating top notch quality podcasts!

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.

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.
