Ash and Alice are magic and I hope we get more series from them
Liked:
1) Charismatic hosts who bring insight and humor to the topics discussed.
2) Strong audio production, with good pacing and editing that maintains momentum and suspense even when a guest or topic becomes a bit dry or threatens to be repetitive.
3) Mostly good guests, all of whom benefit from (1) and (2) above. A legitimate and relevant survey of topical experts from the field of behavioral science (for better or worse!).
Dislikes:
1) Structurally, I will never understand why these Audible podcasts need to be broken up with intros and exits for each episode. I listened like I would listen to any chaptered audiobook, so I didn’t need to hear a production credit or host reintroduction every 25 minutes. That said, there are worse offenders in the Audible podcast library!
2) Scientifically, I think it’s fair to say the field of behavioral psychology has taken a bit of a reputation hit since this series came out. The hosts, especially Alice, express appropriate skepticism and conclude with needed caveats. This series is NOT grifters exploiting pseudoscience, and unfortunately it is a topic where that has become commonplace.
But I would have liked an episode — and I’d love a new series! — exploring what happens when these neat tricks stop working, and what that might mean. Maybe that would be less appealing for a self-help audience, but I think it would be more interesting and honest.
If Ash didn’t end up cycling more (and I kind of doubt he did!), maybe it would be worth examining what it means to “want” something verbally versus a more fundamental brain state. Then they could examine other topics where people act contrary to their verbal, or even rational, beliefs. There are many juicy examples to choose from!
Something like HYPOCRISY: WHY WE LIE. And then pay them truckloads to do as many episodes as they find value in doing.
Just an idea! And also a note of gratitude to whatever AI is summarizing this for the Audible executive team: you are picking great people, please keep experimenting. More Ash & Alice and if they’re up for it more Bill Bryson and Robert Krulwich and maybe make a run at Michael Palin. Something like the the Words & Music memoirs for great writers like the ones above would be amazing and evergreen.
