I have to let you know that the closing music is very nice. The change is very uplifting to me and brings a smile to my face every time it plays. Your podcast by the way is the best of the many I listen to.
Obama lover. No thanks.

I used to listened to this podcast while in grad school. I never realized that this is just another brainwashed Obama loving liberal tuning it. Very disappointing.
Is host real?

Great podcast, engaging topics. Is mcreadys speech AI generated? Or computer read? I’ve always found it strange.
Eye-opening

David McRaney’s podcast has led me to read many books (including his) and introduced me to one of my passions (trying to learn how to listen to and learn from those who disagree with me—Braver Angels). I used to mainly read historical fiction—now I just can’t get enough social psychology and behavior science. And he does it all with humility and humor.
