  • Please differentiate your shows

    I listen to both Worklife and Rethinking. However, I really love worklife and feel more meh about rethinking. I’m just not as into interview shows.

It might seem dumb, but I listen to a ton of podcasts, so d... more

  • Latest Episode - Attention

    A historian who knows nothing of his innate bias and a sycophantic host who knows even less. Sadly, this episode on “attention” is as useful as a hole in the head. Not recommended.

  • Good except the amount of ads

    Good podcast but I can’t believe how much advertising is packed into a relatively short episode. It’s excessive.
