Always great

Not only do you learn a lot about BeSci but you learn so much more. I love the casual conversations with so much personal background too. It’s a regular must listen. I can’t tell you how many books I’ve bought from their amazing guests.

Thoughtful and Enlightening!

I’ve now listened to a dozen episodes, and every one of them has been thoughtful and enlightening. Also, completely relatable to every day life. Like discovering a binge-worthy TV show (only better), glad to see I have hundreds of episodes left to stream. Look forward to the journey of behavioral science discovery with Kurt and Tim!
