The Psychology Podcast Stitcher & Scott Barry Kaufman

The topics are insightful but I have noticed a pattern with people with multiple degrees, they talk at a pace that is so fast and unenjoyable to listen to. This is not the case with the host, maybe he is more relaxed since it’s his show.

While the topics on this podcast sound interesting, any hope of good discussion is quickly destroyed by the host. I find myself wondering if he is on the spectrum or simply profoundly disconnected from his guests and the conversation. If he is on the spectrum, I suppose I should go easy on the guy, I just wish it weren't such an impediment to productive conversation.

I was actually recommended to this podcast by another host that I trust (Jordan Harbinger), whose show I wholeheartedly recommend over this one.

The host is very fair, minded, and bends over backwards to see both sides of an issue. I've listened to two episodes so far. One was about gender, and the other one was about narcissists. I found both episodes taking a humane and compassionate view on the subjects. The host is very careful not to jump to conclusions, stereotype or further negativity. I wouldn't mind him airing a few actual opinions of his own, but I think he wants to appear impartial. On the whole, the subjects are interesting and I feel like I’ve learned something.
