I became aware of Sam Harris through the Mindfulness Summit in 2015. He struck me as incredibly intelligent and as someone who would not choose a way of life without thorough study of it.
When I first started on the podcasts, I started listening to Waking Up and found it fascinating. If you crave intellectual stimulation with a skeptic’s eye, this is definitely the podcast for you.
Harris discusses a variety of topics related to the mind, society, current events and so on with always thought-provoking perspectives. He interviews and speaks with clarity and confidence, but at the same time does not come across as arrogant or full of himself – at least not to me. Perhaps to others he might sound like an elitist, but then again that does not bother me so much. 😉
I cannot binge listen to this podcast like I do with the murder/true crime ones, but I do thoroughly enjoy the intellectual challenge I get from listening to this podcast now and then. 😛
