"Sweet catharsis "

"I’m one episode into this and it’s informative. I initially jumped into it for the “Outliers” review. The main argument is that the book isn’t scientifically backed and that the author possibly misunderstands the difference between causation and correlation. It’s about an hour of debunking every chapter of a book I thought was interesting. When I first read it I didn’t actually expect anything scientific - or carefully researched for that matter, as that’s obviously not the author’s area of expertise - all that mattered to me was a good story and engaging writing and that was absolutely achieved. However, I now know the podcasters’ point of view."

"Between the "The Game" and "The Rules" episodes, I could feel my queer soul leaving my body and coming back with more trans.
The David Brooks ep was also a nice bonus."

"Every time I listen to this, I learn or more likely unlearn so much. It was cool, I can now tell all the books my dad reads because of all the bs he tells me that gets debunked in this podcast. The hosts are fun to listen to as well."

"Similar to what he was doing at You’re Wrong About. It’s ok, but he doesn’t have the same kind of fun banter/chemistry that he did with Sarah Marshall."
