  • Love this podcast for MANY reasons

    I am going to keep it short and sweet... I love this podcast because:

    1) It's content. It's different from so many.

    2) The length. They are perfect for getting the info without eating up three hours of my time.

    3) Kara is prepared and the podcast flows smoothly. If there is editing, it's done perfectly.

  • Get Smarter Just By Listening

    I love learning and this podcast has been a godsend. Kara does an amazing job of tackling subjects I “think” I know about and getting expert insights and research to make me reevaluate my own thinking on it. The episodes are well done and do a great job of presenting a broad perspective. Each episode I find I am challenged by some things, disagree with others, and agree with the rest. It’s exactly what you want if you want to grow intellectually and stay informed. Great job Kara!

  • Excellent Show

    I wish there were 100 episodes, great way to elevate research in public discourse. I’d love for Kara to ask each guest what they don’t know yet at the end of every episode to highlight guest humility and future research needs.
