Interesting, but not always researched well.
The podcast presents itself as answering your questions with research, but as the writers have sometimes commented, it seems most of their research is based off internet searches rather than degrees or real learned knowledge. For example, one podcast they said they couldn't find any research on "Are Humans Wired to Survive?" They should've searched for "Evolutionary Psychology". It's a whole branch of psychology with research related to that question. Another comment about Nazi war criminals was that they weren't following Geneva Conventions. The 4th Geneva Convention was enacted 4 yrs AFTER WW2, specifically addressing treatment of civilians, because of the Nazis. The list goes on. It's entertaining enough, just don't take it as gospel. Go out and do some real research, because these guys really miss some things.Read full review »
