Customer Reviews
Surprisingly entertaining
“Other Minds and Hands” should be so boring. Can’t quite figure out why it isn’t.
Wish I had known about this podcast before this year!
What a refreshing concept! Instead of opinions and unsubstantiated drivel, this is a truly intellectual and analytical discussion about works from a creative standpoint that allows for thought, understanding, wondering, and possibles without being pretentious or patronizing.
Sorry not enjoyable to listen to
Often an uncontrolled firehose of poorly connected concepts and ideas via a delivery that is not engaging or entertaining. Perhaps the professor should study Tolkien as a story teller?
