“This is a podcast that views everything through a liberal filter which is such an affirmation for me. It’s an opportunity to listen to news that I agree with, without having to tolerate the things that I don’t. The variety of guests is fantastic. The only drawback is that the hosts sound a little...”Read full review »

“Love to share this podcasts with my friends on what’s going on in U.S. policy. Every month a new episode is released that details a topic in plain language that’s interesting, up-to-date and super informative. Love listening to this + using it for school papers.”

“This is the type of podcast that appreciates thoughtfulness and bringing academic consideration without the jargon. I would suggest this podcast to anyone looking for an interdisciplinary podcast to social science without the language that can make most scholarly subjects inaccessible to everyone...”Read full review »

“What a great show! No Jargon consistently puts out episodes with researchers that are easy to understand, not overly complex, but boy do they teach you a thing or two. Definitely check them out if you want to dig a little deeper on some fascinating subjects, without getting caught up in the...”Read full review »

“Lizzy, Miranda, and Dominik, along with their insanely knowledgeable guests are making sociology fun again! The wide variety of topics they cover and the engaging way in which they deliver them had me hooked from my very first listen.

“Pretty boring and one sided analysis of issues.
They take complex and nuanced issues and simplistically approach them from only one side.
Very dogmatic- propagandizing their view of truth rather than inviting the listener to search out truth with them.”
