Man of Cambridgeshire ,

Surprisingly entertaining

“Other Minds and Hands” should be so boring. Can’t quite figure out why it isn’t.

Sheri M B ,

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.

Shadwell von Bernstein ,

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?
