A Half Hour of Interesting Sociological Content
Presenter Laurie Taylor takes up needle and thread to weave a tapestry of reflections on the diverse states of human affairs. The various strands of thought provoking material consist of insightful guests discussing their studies and resulting papers or books, while Laurie guides the conversation with questions eliciting the most colorful and textured responses designed to give us a better view of the big picture. His jovial personality adds a friendly and comforting level of uplift to what can often be challenging ideas, behaviours, and incidents from history or the present day. Sometimes the musical interludes and humorous takes on aspects of our world that Laurie employs can be just the right touch to regain a little balance and perhaps harmony to our thinking, which is very much allowed and appreciated. The artful crafting of episodes also helps inspire me to prepare better meals as I am often cooking while listening to the program. I've never cooked better food than while listening to Thinking Allowed. Thanks for all the great programs Laurie Taylor and Thinking Allowed Crew, nicely done.Read full review »

An interesting popularization of social science, though I'm typically only interested in downloading about half the shows that come up, topic-wise.Read full review »

There are many very good podcasts nowadays but sometimes it seems like there is a sameness in the subject matter. This program, which explores interesting niches of sociological research, is quite distinct and thoughtful. The host is erudite and witty and engages a unique roster of guests.
