I have too many podcasts to listen to but I always make a point to listen to "The Human Experience Podcast". Fascinating topics discussed with interesting guests. Not to be missed.

maroonblazer · Aug 2020

honestly the only podcast i listen to. the things i’ve learned from this podcast in the past year, wouldve probably taken me years to learn if i has started doing my own research. and even then i’d probably not acquire all the knowledge i have through this podcast
