Stanford Psychology Podcast

“Never replace in-school education.” “The humanity of me as a teacher understanding the needs of my students is going to be the hardest thing to replicate… I can now provide my students a microscopic understanding of a phenomenon.” “Idea first, language second.” My heart leaped throughout this podcast. Professor Brown speaks to balance, insight and understanding. Thank you.

The contents are perfect but the audio recording is terrible. Also, it would be so much better if you guys could provide a transcript on Stanford psychology web.

Interesting guests, irreverent host.

I found you via episode 69- in a word, fabulous (truly the right word, by the way). The professor is actuallu genial (and I use that word so infrequently), because he really embodies cross disciplinary and profound perspectives and knowledge as well as a sensitivity, nuance and humor that characterizes real intelligence and he in no way exudes that arid, merely cerebral accademia-speak that for me often betrays a lack of deeper, life-relevant, humanizing knowledge. The interviewer is equally expressive of those wonderful qualities of curiosity, vulnerability, and thirst for knowledge while integrating the personal quest for locating oneself in the world end finding wisdom. That's what's so strong about this episode and both of its interlocutors: they play with, explore, and share real conversation that embodies those lovely qualities and is therefore both exceptionally engaging as well as both intellectually and personally/spiritually enriching and relevant. Thank you for existing as a group and a project, and for sharing this podcast as a creative work which is a gift.
