The Best

This is my favorite of all podcasts, I save it for last every week, like dessert!

Dr. Steven Novella for president

This podcast teaches critical thinking in a highly entertaining format that also helps keep you informed on current events. It definitely pushes back against the current mode of thinking that an opinion is good as a fact. If only our political leaders were this smart. The ideas embodied in this podcast should be taught in grade school. Everyone could benefit from listening to this podcast no matter what their background is.
