I don’t have many can’t miss podcasts, but Making Sense is right at
the top of that short list. Sam Harris and his varied and
fascinating guests generate light but not heat. The choir is
neither preached to nor pointlessly provoked. I have never finished
a single episode without having learned something and being given
pause for real thought.
*Stephen Fry*
Even in casual discussion, Sam is intelligent, educated, honest,
considered and brave. He’s really not cut out for the Internet.
*Ricky Gervais*
Sam Harris is the most intellectually courageous man I know, not
afraid to speak truths out in the open where others keep those very
same thoughts buried, fearful of the modish thought police. His
literate intelligence and fluency with words has transferred from
the written to the spoken medium, and in his podcast he brings out
the best in his guests, including those with whom he disagrees.
*Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion*
Do yourself a favor, broaden your perspectives and listen to the
Making Sense podcast. Whatever your politics, you will find ideas
and points of views you've never considered before, in fields you
don't know, from neuroscience to computer science to culture.
*Anne Applebaum, author of Gulag*
Of all the podcasts available, the one nobody should miss is Making
Sense. Every episode is stimulating. In an era when everyone seems
to have lost their reason, here is one of the few places where
reason remains safe.
*Douglas Murray, author of The Strange Death of Europe and The
Madness of Crowds*
