I can’t wait for the first episode

I have always been passionate about the brain and people, and although I don’t know if I’ve got what it takes to be a neurologist I will always be fascinated of this topic. I will never stop seeking stories and information about it. So here I am waiting for more! Because I absolutely loved the trailer.

Thank you

I adore Oliver Sacks and the world lost something special when he passed. This series would have made him so proud, I think. It was wonderful to learn more about him, more about the cases he wrote about, and about neurology. Thank you for this gift.

Highly recommend!!!!!

Absolutely incredible podcast. When asked the question, "If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?" I immediately think of this most amazing human. This podcast does an awesome job of capturing what I feel must have been the essence of Oliver Sacks, his work, and his fascination in each individual human he touched as a neurologist and as a person. Highly recommend!!!

Outstanding!

I wish I could give this podcast at least 6 or 7 stars! And I don’t really listen to podcasts - I prefer audiobooks usually. I was already a fan of Dr. Sacks since reading “The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat” years ago, but despite the vague desire to do so, I hadn’t read his other works. But I started it last night, stayed up too late, and listened straight through today - I could scarcely put it down. I was interested to learn about the strange things people’s brain scan do, but I undervalued Dr. Sacks and his friend Andrea, who developed and narrated the podcast (whose name I’m sure I can’t spell right). This is a podcast about people’s real human stories, and the way these individual people’s experiences illuminate what it is to be embodied, operated by a brain, mind, and heart - what it is to be alive and human. It was simply outstanding, and its power was amplified greatly through the stories about the great doctor himself, his own traumas and challenges, and many ways he himself was also unique. I plan to recommend the podcast to my co-workers, family, and friends.

I wish there were more episodes

Absolutely riveting. Perfect for those interested in stories behind the science of medicine and psychiatry, and around the great Oliver Sacks.

Insightful and enjoyable

I have read and listened to many of Oliver Sacks works, but found this at another level, and provided insight into his work, and how we will use it in the future

Captivating

The personal stories made learning about different ways our brains work enlightening and fascinating. I found myself comparing how my own experiences, cognitive abilities and reactions compared to those described in these stories, and appreciated learning why we humans are so different from one another.
