Big nostalgia from these conversations that got me through man long bus and train commutes to and from work. Put me on to many great books and people I never heard of. Not the highest point in my life but I miss the comfort this show gave me. 🥺

Gets really good around episode 200 when Hunter and Bryan synthesizes bid ideas together. I wish they were still active, but the episodes are pure gold. The backlog is definitely worth it.

The episode with the astrophysics professor, 6 years ago, really helped me during a dark time in my life. I joined a gym, got a black belt in BJJ, and finally went back to college, after dropping out on the first day, 12 years ago when I tried to use my GI bill for the first time. It’s to bad they stopped doing it. But can’t say I blame them.

ShahiMara is a serial dumb dumb . Love the podcast though

And everyone is about to know it. #timesup

Bryan Callen is well read and has a humble personality humorously masked by a combination of arrogance and pride.If you like laughing and feeling at ease while picking up useful knowledge whispered through a “confident perv tone” here and there then try this podcast

I’m so glad Bryan does a podcast by himself because he’s brilliant and funny. This is definitely worth listening to for anyone interested in self help.

Top 3 podcasts. Maybe my favorite tbh. They basically talk to authors of intellectual books amd have great dialogue coming from different perspectives. :)

At least once a week would be cool!

The show is lively and thought provoking, and that’s all you can expect from any media. One of the hosts plays Coach Miller on the Goldbergs, and I can’t get those little blue shorts out of my head during the show, but somehow that makes it better. I’m not sure what that says about me, but to be honest it’s a great show worth a listen.

Bryan, do yourself a favor and get a different co-host. Hunter is almost unbearable. Sorry dude.

I love this podcast, I love the foul language and Hunters giggling is hilarious! I love the subject and your special guests, keep them coming!

This is my favorite podcast, hands down. Bryan and Hunter are hilarious and fascinating to listen to and their guests are incredible. Do yourself a favor and subscribe.

Listener since it was BCS and the quality of guests and the interesting, productive, and helpful conversations rock. Learned a lot and as a writer even got several story ideas from MMA, so thanks Bryan and Hunter!

It's like a freshly baked bran muffin for my mind.

This show turned me on to so many different books and thinkers. Awesome. Lately I can’t tell which episodes are new and which are repeats and the episode descriptions aren’t very helpful. If they could clean up the chronological order of episodes and make them easier to browse through and read, that would be great. I think part of the problem is that they switched podcast platforms a while back, but either way, please clean up the episode order and mark which are new and which are repeats.

Hunter and Bryan are terrific together. I enjoy the discussed topics, their perspective and the banter. The episode with Christopher Ryan was great!

Bryan tends to go on the same rant often but still two lovable humans doing great work to slaughter our sacred cows in a genuine non gimmicky fashion

You have to enjoy someone like Bryan. With an immense perspective and broad aspects of things he’s learned and willingness to learn more.

I firmly stand behind and support everything Bryan Callen does. He is extremely underrated and often under appreciated. He’s the star we NEED.

calm down Bryan I love you but you were trying way too hard in this one

These are fun and informative discussions that I get to listen in on. Podcasts like this introduces me to ideas and books that improve my thinking. I wish school would have been more like this.

I didn’t even know he had his podcast till maybe a month ago...i feel cheated for not knowing...at the beginning or end of the fighter and the kid podcast, he needs to let the listeners know more often about it...

Finally a show that isn't full of Communist Propaganda. From one history major to another..... Thank you!

These two bounce heavy topics and great guests amongst each other while helping the listener understand what they are pulling out of numerous books and why.

Love the Podcast! Glad Bryan has been a bit more consistant about coming on his own show! he really adds to the entertainment part of these conversations. Keep dropping that knowledge guys! GADOOSSHH!!!

MB did a good job making the case for 21st century socialism until he dropped the ball when he failed to make the distinction between creative redistribution of obscene and exploitative wealth to provide stable social support networks like universal childcare, free education K-16, Medicare for All, and a full employment guarantee, and (as the host erroneously believes) merely adding on a rebate to our paychecks at our usual job in a capitalist system.

This is a great podcast to free your mind.

Adam does a great job to get down to the root of the matter..who opens doors and goes does roads where we typically don't discuss in our normal day to day lives. You will enjoy this series as Adam facilitates the mysteries of our brains and how cognitive biases influence in our perception of the world around us.

Bryan is not deep. I hope he falls a lot in his real life so it would explain his train of thought.

If you're like me and quit the media and education long ago, this is for you. Learn, unlearn, relearn, start again.

This is by far one of the best podcasts I listen to on a regular basis. I love the guests they choose, how they navigate conversation, and how the present such interesting ideas. So many of the things they discuss are things I've realized on my own but struggled to articulate or couldn't find anyone else talking about. LOVE IT!

Are you sick and tired of all of the tribalism you see in the world today? Bryan and Hunter offer up solutions to best serve the human experience. Bryan is a charasmatic character who can get silly at times and Hunter is the stright man, full of encyclopedic knowlege. Listen to this podcast if you want to know how to upgrade your culture.

So effing happy I finally have new episodes to annoy my girlfriend with in the car!!! This is a new and updated page. They have another with over 700 reviews but it's not up to date like this official one. iTunes needs to transfer the over 700 reviews from the old page here ASAP!!
