No Stupid Questions

No Stupid Questions: If you like to mix some learning in with your decompression, this is one podcast that should be on your “Must Listen” list (or at least your “Must Give it a Shot” list).

What we love: Co-hosts Angela Duckworth, Ph.D., a psychology professor at UPenn, and Stephen Dubner, co-author of the Freakonomics book series, take on some of the questions that many of us wonder about but don’t ask or can’t answer. The result? Some very deep conversations lightened up by everyday experiences that we can relate to.

For example. Let’s talk anger. We’ve all experienced it, but maybe you’ve had some trouble pinpointing the purpose your anger serves or how it makes others feel or react.

Interested? Then the second episode in Season 1 might be for you! Plus you’ll get a great convo on why we treat pets better than people!

Our fave part? They do a fact check at the end of every episode!

Since we’re spotlighting this podcast as one of our favorites pretty early in the series, our Break Takers only have one season to listen to right now, but new episodes have been rolling out weekly, so trust us when we say this is one to watch (or listen to!).

Check ‘em out on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts!
