Buildup matters

“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 the halfway point, they (the host and guest speaker) use that information to introduce something new and interesting. I’ll say this: there are other shows that can make the first half interesting and have a strong conclusion, challenging my views or making me interested throughout the duration. Hidden Brain doesn’t do that, but it also doesn’t need to. The slow burning buildup helps to establish a foundation for their main point, which is usually a home-run. My only complaint is that it sometimes feels like fluff - like the teacher wants a 10 page essay, and you have a really solid 6 pages but need to add 4 more the meet the criteria. I’ll continue to roll my eyes at those 4 pages while enjoying the other 6.”

“I'm not sure how such an interesting sounding topic could be explored so poorly. The forced humor and filler song really dumbed down the episode. Obviously spending 90 minutes drinking tea is going to be relaxing. We tuned in for a mature and thoughtful discussion/exploration of a topic, not...”Read full review »
