Informative Engaging. Focus on formative years, behavior or personality, motivations and legacy. . .
Apple Podcasts5huenewUnited States4 years ago - What happened to this podcast??
I loves this podcast. Does anyone know what happened to it?
Apple Podcasts4MeCompletelyUnited States4 years ago - Putin
Could you do a analysis of Vladimir Putin. Quite a interesting complicated childhood. Step father mostly rejected him. Strange marriage and relationships. Rise to power and control. Some say a master manipulator.Then decline. Thanks 🙂

United Kingdom5 years ago - No no no
Hold it ……
Mashing up the before & the after to create the ‘now’ for a person
Things that happened after a person dies can’t be included in their death
So limiting towards creative people
Ugh
Elitist guests
Apple Podcasts1wilfulgreenUnited States5 years ago - Disappointed in Ads
I absolutely LOVE this podcast, easily 5 stars- That said, I’m mortified that a psychology focused podcast is allowing frequent weight loss ads. We get enough negative messaging from TV & social media, harping on weight insecurities. I don’t need ads insinuating that I should be losing weight on my favorite psychology podcast.
SO COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED in this marketing team... such a poor choice.
Apple Podcasts3BethinchaUnited States6 years ago - Love this show
I look forward to this show every week. I love learning the story of famous people’s lives from a psych perspective.
Apple Podcasts5LEH820United States6 years ago - Love it!
Love the breakdown of famous people from recent and past. It is interesting to understand more why they are who they are and what shaped and influenced them.
Apple Podcasts5Halloween PrincessUnited States6 years ago - Little more attention to detail please
Just listened to Henry VIII pod; the timeline given for the death of Henry VII the short ascension of Arthur then Henry VII managing things for Henry VIII makes absolutely no sense, and distracts from anything else being said
(note: the "1957" thing I chalk up to a slip of the tongue; strange it wouldnt be caught before upload though)
Apple Podcasts3Kwab -NYCUnited States6 years ago - Thanks
I just started listening and I’m hooked! Thanks
Apple Podcasts5Faydo29United States6 years ago - Amazing show!!!!
This podcast is really thorough. Please do one on Michael Jordan!!!!! It would be a nice follow up to the documentary’The Last Dance’. He’s also a really important figure in black history (it’s February); and lastly, he’s just an utterly fascinating person!
Apple Podcasts5NatoyaheardUnited States6 years ago - Very enjoyable
This podcast is so interesting, with very knowledgeable guests and a very engaging host. I would love it if you did an episode about Keith Moon - a much more complex character than he was portrayed as.

Australia6 years ago - One star for poor research
If you're going to retro-analyze historical figures, you need to know the history. Don't make two major misstatements about your subject in the first 10 minutes of your podcast. Disgusting.
Apple Podcasts1brettvkUnited States6 years ago - But looking back wasn't joe kind of correct
Not trying to argue, it's just years later many of the people he accused admitted to being communist, some were very proud. The real shame of it to me, was that in a land of freedom we weren't allowed to be we aren't supposed to be required to tell our political affiliation. And after this week it should be obvious that in terms of power hungry emotional manipulative politicians. There is no 2 party system. Both parties sold and bought stock before we knew of pandemic. Double standards bran ra... more
