Citing a study about how Israeli women deal with the “stress of conflict” right now — without any mention of the constant stress of the horrors of the genocide being committed against the innocent men, women, and children of Palestine — is extremely tone deaf at best and disgustingly...Read full review »

Shankar seems like a compassionate individual, which is why I can’t understand how he’s okay with guests — like today’s neuroscientist — referring to animal experiments (in this case monkeys). The episode was on “resparkling” — hardly an important enough reason to warrant experimenting on...Read full review »

Hello, As you may have noticed I ranked this podcast at only 3 stars. Which has nothing to do with the context of the episodes, those are great. But rather with the fact that you are trying to get the best of both worlds at the cost of your audience. You charge for the podcast, but same time you...Read full review »

I love everything about this show—except the sponsor breaks, which feel disproportionately frequent and long.
ebajou via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/24
I like your show, but I believe some of your guests opinions are not valid. Specifically your guest Ara Norezayan’s view in regards to religion seemed to be biased by his own experiences. Most times certain types of religions were forced on people by rulers of the time. Sometimes there were...Read full review »

Thank you Shankar and every person that makes HB happen! It’s rare to find a program that offers an infinite amount of learning in a space and is consistently interesting and inspiring, and hopeful!

I used to love this podcast and would listen to it whenever I had extra time because it offered valuable information and insights. The host’s deep dives into various topics and the engaging interviews with experts were always enlightening. However, I recently noticed that the host uses biased...Read full review »

This podcast is amazing! Each episode covers a topic that offers insights and perspectives that I have somehow never found or looked into. The interviews are so organic and relaxed. I am glad that I found this podcast. A big thank you and kudos to the team of The Hidden Brain.

Listening to this show be required. Even if you know the subject in and out, you’re getting new perspectives. Shankar is the best interviewer, he has the best guests.
shoppella via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/24
The first half of each episode makes me roll my eyes. It’s usually filled with info, ideas, or opinions that I’ve heard or thought about a million times and I’m like “this is a waste of time, I’m not hearing anything new.” It just feels superficial, and sometimes even ostensible. But then, around...Read full review »

The subjects are just what I need to hear to shift from a negative perspective to a positive one through interviews that keep me enthralled.
k777?! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/24
Love Keyes shaming those not in supportive relationships. Really unhelpful. I suppose he also suggests ‘bootstraps’ and ‘pull ones self up by’ said straps. not a revelatory conclusion, and unhelpful to those in the throes of the problem
snuffleupagusAMA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/10/24
I love this show and learn something every time I listen. This particular episode fell short and explained away polarization in this country. It portrays it as those who are deeply involved in politics opposed to those who are not. MAGA is the movement of discord and this peacemaker who hates...Read full review »

Thank you, Shankar. I love this show and know that if I am having a hard day I can open a podcast from Hidden Brain to help me push through a work or life challenge. Thank you for doing the work that you do to get others stories out into the world that will serve others to get through life’s...Read full review »

I love waking up, making my coffee and sitting down to listen to Hidden Brain. The interviews are well researched, dealing with current and every day issues. It can be a way for me to see my own issues and it helps me in my relationships and work. I highly recommend it.

WTH
I swear I have listened to half a dozen of these episodes always hoping to get some actual tips. The last one I listened to was about having purpose. I was hoping to get some tips on how to find mine but nope, all I got was "Stanford University did a study showing how GREAT it is to have...Read full review »

I enjoy listening to this podcast. There are lots of great psychology topics.
Kimi1234* via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/24
Hidden Brain is a masterpiece. The topics are interesting. The content is well put together. I take away many nuggets from each episode I listen to. Shankar is a great host and effective interviewer. So glad I found this podcast!

pretty please do well, so I can justify my not performing well / working.

I love the content but the sound effects and music are so distracting I often do finish the episode.

Mesofrustratedg1234 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/24
I’d rank it 4.5 stars but I will round it up. I like how the episodes aren’t stretched way too long and get to the point. I find sometimes the episodes lack specificity that viewers may be looking for based on the title. Great content, otherwise!

Great podcast. Encouraged by efforts to understand children’s behavior, and the difference between supervised play and unsupervised play. I just wish I’d heard what happened to the fourth grader who couldn’t follow rules!
Suenmz12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/24
Hidden Brain is both interesting and useful. It offers a unique perspective on people, how they think, and their behavior that I've found to be helpful in my work, how I choose to live my life, and how I engage with other people.Read full review »

I learn a lot when I listen to your podcast. Thank you for providing rational answers to questions I have about human behavior and psyche.

The Ventilator. Amazing episode on so many levels. As a former nurse who cared for vented patients, I fully admire the family and the care they gave their loved one. So so difficult.

I was on my second week of not drinking and was in the middle of a craving when I saw this episode. I listened while doing chores. Completely got me over that particular craving and gave me a new perspective on why I drink at all. THANK YOU! Made it through my second weekend with alcohol!

My favourite podcast.

This podcast will change the way you view certain parts of life. It is extensively research, well planned and very engaging. The stories that are told in the episodes are gripping and thought provoking. I was so moved by the most recent podcast with Tom Pearson. It captivated my heart and mind...Read full review »

Thank you for your choice of topics. This is one of my favorite podcasts. I always know I will be challenged or informed. Yesterday’s message “What is Normal?” was over the top excellent, so I needed to finally review the show. Thank you, Shankar! I’m 61 years old and still learning!
CarolynMHOC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/09/24
The podcast is great but aggressive ads are killing it. It is really ridiculous that not even paid version is free from these extremely obtrusive ads. Please fix it!
OskarDon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/07/24
Shankar is such a great host and the guests are intellectually stimulating, from various backgrounds, who elucidate the subjects that are discussed. I feel I am always learning something! Never miss it!
MASSyogagirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/24
The content is marvelous. The ads - 2-4 per episode- are maddening. I tried subscribing to get rid of the ads. Didn’t work. And, until I saw the opportunity to post here, I found no easy way to provide feedback.

This podcast has a unique feel. It’s like an video without the video!

This podcast has helped me so much in my life! Every single episode has shone a light on things that I have never fully understood or thought about before. I love every single episode!
lostvegaseve via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/24
The latest episodes finally tipped it for me: interviewing an Israeli professor at the University of Haifa, a colonial institution, about listening, with no mention of the atrocities his government and nation are carrying out, is just cruel. Shankar even asked, “Guy, is there a moment when...Read full review »

Some things you just don’t think about until you have to. Some things you don’t think about at all. Hidden Brain brings those things to you. Sometimes it’s heart wrenching, heart warming, or completely confounding, and it’s always worth the listen. I just listened to The Ventilator and I feel...Read full review »

Hidden Brain is by far my favorite podcast. The host is so endearing, asks wonderful thought-provoking questions and chooses amazing topics and guests. I frequently share episodes with my kids and friends. Love this show!!
1smartchick via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/24
The insights I get from this show are priceless. I learn so much about myself and how I can improve. The empiric nature of most shows adds great perspective and credibility. I share and recommend shows routinely.
MelMan_8840 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/24
I give Shankar 10/10. But the latest episode hit me, I noted half these Psychiatrists are from Jewish and Israel background. With the current affairs of the world, it really makes me wonder on how the Jews who suffered so much through out history can inflict the same suffering and worse pain on...Read full review »

The irony of interviewing an Israeli about listening is just too ridiculous.
Melissa weiss via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/24
This is one of my favorite podcasts but recently I’ve noticed many of the episodes are reruns of the old episodes. I hope they indicate that clearly in the beginning of each of such episodes like most other podcasts do these days.
