    I’ve only listened to one episode (The Selfish Gene), but it was great! The hosts dissect complex topics and discuss them in relatable language, making it easier to understand the larger points in these long books. Looking forward to listening to more!

  • Two Thumbs Up

    Enjoyed listening to the podcast of The Righteous Mind. Not a book I would usually select. The format was great and the brotherly banter of these clearly intelligent young men made for easy listening. Plan to read the book now that I have some help in understanding what I am reading.
