Strange Customs with Sasha Sagan
Sasha Sagan/OnlySky MediaWhy do we do things the way we do them? We take on customs from our ancestors, then teach them to the next generation, often without thinking. But when we take a step back, they can seem bizarre, arbitrary...and sometimes, profoundly beautiful.

United Statesa year ago - Lovely, heartfelt and super interesting ❤️!
Cosmos is a series that was revered at our home when I was growing up in Cuernavaca (México). It’s been so exciting to find a podcast created by Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan’s daughter, Sasha, and learn more about this world and our universe by someone who was raised by two amazing and curious people. Thanks for your work, Sasha 😃!

In just a few episodes I have learned a lot about the human species, and to see ourselves through a new lens. Definitely worth subscribing to!
Apple Podcasts5MrsMarciUnited States3 years ago - Makes you think
Not only do I enjoy listening to each episode and diving into a specific topic with Sasha and her guests (who are usually quite funny in addition to being smart and thoughtful), but since starting this podcast I began to notice how many other bizarre rituals and customs we humans do without thinking, or knowing why we do them. Highly recommended!

The vibe is a discussion by college kids drinking. "Wow" is extremely overused by the host. I was generous in rating it a 2.
