Reviews
This podcast brings to light a lot of highly qualified guests who have valuable ideas to discuss. Sometimes the host struggles to grasp the concept in order to engage fully. I sometimes need to skip sections in order to manage my annoyance, but maybe the juxtaposition can be helpful for others.

What a waste of Dr. Richard Schwartz’s time. Is this podcast about learning from the interviewee and being curious about his research or about making your own plugs, forcing unnecessary “connections” or disconnections, and clearly misunderstanding this work out loud? Did the interviewer read and...Read full review »

One of the worst interviewer I have heard. The questions are basic and his comments and constant laughs are annoying

Interesting guests but the constant noise Scott makes while people are talking is way too distracting. Unfortunate - a lot of interviews I would like to listen to but I have to stop after a short while.

You may I want to consider a few less adverts

I wrote my last 5 star review two years which said how much I loved this show. I have to apologise and say I’m really not sure I’ll stay now. The intrusive Ads are of course the most annoying aspect albeit I respect the need for sponsorship in podcasts making but these Ads are so loud and brash...Read full review »

Love this podcast! So many great topics and guest. I always learn something and Scott’s style is down to earth and accessible - always asking the great questions. Highly recommend!!

This podcast is pretty good, it covers a wide variety of topics but my only issue is that it’s a majority male guests. I’d love to see more diversity with female/non binary guests

It’s so important to have these kinds of conversations with such interesting professionals ✨

I’ve been listening to this podcast for the last few years and it never fails to inspire and educate. Thank you!
Taylor_AW via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/23
I’ve been listening to Scott’s podcast for a few years now. I’m impressed by his guest line up and the numerous topics they cover. I drive a lot for work, Scott and his guests are my constant companions while I’m on the road. I have a degree in psychology, so in a sense I am continuing my...Read full review »

Nice that you managed to squeeze Joseph Goldstein in between all those ads and promos. Sheesh.
Dr Rocktapus via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/09/23
Love the topics. It is too difficult to try and get past the frequent profanity. If the cussing was discontinued or at least bleeped, this would be a great podcast.
Cinder Sue via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/23
While the topics on this podcast sound interesting, any hope of good discussion is quickly destroyed by the host. I find myself wondering if he is on the spectrum or simply profoundly disconnected from his guests and the conversation. If he is on the spectrum, I suppose I should go easy on the...Read full review »

The host is very fair, minded, and bends over backwards to see both sides of an issue. I've listened to two episodes so far. One was about gender, and the other one was about narcissists. I found both episodes taking a humane and compassionate view on the subjects. The host is very careful...Read full review »

I love this podcast. It’s rich in research and data. It’s thought provoking.
lcxz1234 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/16/23
As a mental health professional, and listening to him on the episode “The real differences between the generations”, there is no way I will continue to listen to this podcast. It felt like he had no knowledge or understanding of the topics he discussed, especially not based in psychology. What...Read full review »

Excellent subjects, guests and host. Scott is a class act interviewer
dapperdude7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/23
Nope. I can’t listen to him.
Katiej7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/23
He is kind, humble, smart, very well spoken, and always has his “homework” done on the guest and all of their theories etc. before the podcast. I don’t know I think he’s very remarkable and I enjoy listening to his podcast because it’s non-political and just an easy-going nice thing to listen to...Read full review »

Meh
Not my style when it comes to interviewing, quite superficial and asskissing
Alina Leister via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 04/11/23
I felt a lack of intelectual rigour from some of the guests, where the arguments were clear fallacies and not addressed. Feels less like science than it seemed at first.
Cat163889 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 04/08/23
I’m very greatful for Scott and I believe he is doing a valuable public service because I can tell his intentions are genuinely sincere and altruistic. He aims at both strengthening the individual and society as a whole. His work deeply resonates with me on a very personal level. In the context...Read full review »

Scott’s personality is so welcoming and congenial, he could make anyone feel comfortable. He asks the questions that everybody wonders and is not afraid to ask them. I would like to have him over for dinner or be his friend.

The past few weeks (and a quick Google search) have revealed this awkward interviewer to be the JK Rowling of psychology podcasts! A very fast unfollow.
ffguy2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/23
The topics are insightful but I have noticed a pattern with people with multiple degrees, they talk at a pace that is so fast and unenjoyable to listen to. This is not the case with the host, maybe he is more relaxed since it’s his show.

Interesting, progressive and thought-proviking. Top of my podcast list!
Amara K. via Apple Podcasts · Russia · 01/24/23
I listen to several podcasts on long drives, but this one is the most probing, genuine, educative one. Feel like being in the company of warm and wise friends. Keep it up and comimg. Love it

We need to start thinking like Martha beck. In this episode, she states “I don’t struggle with mental illness, I enjoy it!”. Listen to Martha, she knows what life can do to you. she’s been there… she has 3 degrees from Harvard!
alhpa_1! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/22
I like how adamant Dr Barrett is to ground psychology in the body, the physiology and biology. I’m always interested how the brain interprets these experiences and sensations and models them all into a context or perceived identity. I agree with her that we learn and grow in relationship. So...Read full review »

I started listening to this podcast for school and found it very eye opening and well done! As psychology major this podcast is very insightful for me!
Michael Mc42088 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/22
Some episodes are fantastic while others are rather boring (great guests, but rather unexceptional interviewing) or have guests that shouldn’t get a platform in my opinion.
JayjayFantastic via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 10/17/22
I discover and learn so many things from this show! A breath of fresh air. Love Scott, his personality, how he relates to people, his humor, the insights he brings, the questions he asks, and how real he is. Keep up the good work!
ZigzagPath via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/22
I absolutely love your podcast! I have turned so many others onto your podcast who love it as well.During your interviews I think you have a wonderful combination of insight, humor, and compassion. Empiricism with a heart. Keep up the great work Scott, your podcast is always a bright spot in my...Read full review »

Scott does a great job of bringing all the greats from modern day psychology under one roof in his fascinating show. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their life through their mind.
Dr. Sharon Grossman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/22
This is a cracking podcast. Scott is a fantastic interviewer and brings out the best in his guests. It is almost like you are sitting around a coffee table with them enjoying the conversation about super cool topics. I love it
James Kirby UQ via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/06/22
It helps navigate my creative self. Podcasts as such without subtracting spirituality as conscientious or ‘supra-conscience’ is creation.
@byronjr via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/23/22
Highly recommend this podcast. It has great speakers, a humble and qualified host, excellent audio quality, consistently uploads, and interesting topics even the lay person like me can digest. I’ve learnt so much, and I often apply in my life skills and knowledge I’ve learnt here—and my life is...Read full review »

I want to like this podcast but I don’t enjoy the sound quality of the guests. It’s clear interviews are done over zoom or Skype. Most other podcast have managed to make it sound like their in the same room. Shame
ShivBob MoonPants via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/12/22
There’s generally good guest selection—which draws me back. But the interviews are 30-90% cringe; he’s constantly interrupting his guests, often with inane, irrelevant, or inappropriate jokes, or to make a point that could’ve easily waited until the guest had finished their thought. Scott,...Read full review »

Recent-ish subbie. I now look forward to my commute and learning/laughing, listening with interest to SBK’s great choice of guests. My only unanswered question each week… is Scott still single? Selfishly, I hope yes. Signed, an English nerdette

Unless the whole world took a bunch of crazy pills while I was asleep, we all still collectively agree, as a species, that reincarnation is a supernatural and religious concept that can’t be proven any more than life after death or ghosts. So why are you inviting someone on to speak about it as...Read full review »

Absolutely wonderful podcast I love the range of eye opening and fascinating topics I could listen to this all day!

If you are passionate in understanding human behavior this podcast is for you! Scott is a brilliant psychologist, witty interviewer and empathetic human talking to great people in the field exploring a variety of themes that will make you understand yourselves and other ms much better!

Thanks for always having a smile and joyful approach

Dear Scott, I am writing from Joburg, South Africa. I have been listening to your channel for a couple of weeks now and it has become one of the highlights of my day. I usually listen at the end of an intense teaching day on a long doggy walk or run. There are so many things I want to write but...Read full review »

Always thoughtful, insightful and interesting! Thanks Scott.

The best of the psych thinkers are here. A deeper conversation from them and less about SBK .
