  • I love it!

    This is a podcast that views everything through a liberal filter which is such an affirmation for me. It’s an opportunity to listen to news that I agree with, without having to tolerate the things that I don’t. The variety of guests is fantastic. The only drawback is that the hosts sound a little like teenagers.

  • Concise, Academic, Interesting, and Accessible

    This is the type of podcast that appreciates thoughtfulness and bringing academic consideration without the jargon. I would suggest this podcast to anyone looking for an interdisciplinary podcast to social science without the language that can make most scholarly subjects inaccessible to everyone but the professional researcher. No Jargon simultaneously balances this with not talking down to their audience.

  • No Jargon?

    Pregnant “people”?

    Good substantive discussions too often subordinated to PC jargon.

  • Easy listen, easy learning

    What a great show! No Jargon consistently puts out episodes with researchers that are easy to understand, not overly complex, but boy do they teach you a thing or two. Definitely check them out if you want to dig a little deeper on some fascinating subjects, without getting caught up in the jargon or methodolgy that often make academia so inaccessible.
