This season’s episodes is a nice explanation of a number of cognitive biases we deal with as humans with a particular take on how these biases are impacting our current public discourse. I came away from this season...”Read full review »

Also, it serves as a guide to continue reflecting on these truths and those to come. Thank you for your...”Read full review »

“This podcast series has been so fundamental in developing my understanding of biases and how they work to keep us blindly plodding along in a world that values achievement and works over community and experience. It is a message that reaches outside of the faith community and is applicable within...”Read full review »

What struck me is that even as we become aware of these biases, we come to the table with our own biases...”Read full review »
“It’s striking how in an era of a screen in every room, those of us of able vision see so poorly. The answer begins with the log in our own eye.

Our pastor has recommended this series while the church goes through a series on privilege.
Interesting ideas, but not well expounded in my opinion. The premise is set up at the beginning of each episode, and then is just accepted as truth. Perhaps the book goes...”Read full review »

“I appreciate this series. But The 3rd one on political biases did not resonate as deeply. So many siblings are divided by current political rancor. So the discussion of the first 6 years with authoritative ‘fathers’ seems inadequate. My sibs and I were raised similarly and we span the political...”Read full review »
