Strange Customs with Sasha Sagan

by Sasha Sagan/OnlySky Media

Why 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. Join Sasha Sagan, author of "For Small Creatures Such as We," as she talks to smart, funny, interesting celebrities and scholars, uncovering just how weirdly wonderful we Earthlings can be.

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!

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!

Sasha is the perfect host for this trip through the strangeness of everyday things. I look forward to hearing each episode again and again!

Sasha is a wealth of compassion and facts, serving thoughtful questions with historical info. I crave discussions about our human rituals, separate from religion, to gain more understanding of who I am. Grateful for this podcast!

I was looking forward to this podcast by Sasha Sagan. Perhaps it will get better in time. Right off the bat it has a very social justice warrior tilt. I’m not Republican but it was quite obvious even to me. There’s a tone of superiority about their opinions as if opposing viewpoints hold no weight, as if everything is malleable. No right, no wrong unless of course you disagree with their conclusion . Then you’re definitely in the wrong or at least ignorant, naive &/or behind the progressive times. I loved her book and plan on listening to her podcast as it continues. If my opinion of it evolves, I will gladly update my review and rating. Also, on a more technical note I was surprised that her audio quality and equipment aren’t of higher quality. I’m sure she’s hoping that her podcast will be successful so why start out by using subpar equipment thereby creating a subpar audio experience. It feels very of the times, bare minimum effort while hoping for or expecting success. I think most podcast listeners are expecting a bit more from professional podcasters at this point.
