  • Fun Topics, Biased Host

    The topics and researchers this podcast explores are very interesting and intriguing, but the host is very evidently biased more left leaning. This takes away some of the podcasts credibility as almost half the questions are generally asked in a way to elicit a certain answer. This is disappointing when the show is a part of APA and I was hoping for more objective, fact-based, unbiased interviewing.
