Customer Reviews
Another jewel of the net
This is an incredible contribution to the sea of information that is "the internet". I am a philosophy professor in Michigan with a deep interest in overcoming the "educational silos" that dominate the academy. These podcasts help me to see connections between my own research and cutting edge neuroscience. Thank you Dr. Campbell -- the time and commitment that your podcasts demonstrate is helping to awaken and illuminate. It is awesome and it makes me happy that you are motivated to do this.
My continuing education in science
Dr. Campbell's Books and Ideas podcast keeps me current in contemporary scientific ideas and keeps me re-thinking popular notions about science. Her balanced and intelligent approach gives me lots of material for starting conversations with my children, as well as a lot to think about myself. I'm very grateful that I can gain from Dr. Campbell's intellect and wisdom!
Very informative
Dr. Ginger Campbell is a superb cultural critic and advisor. I have read some of the books she recommends and find them fascinating. She covers not only books, but other cultural phenomenon, and I appreciate the way she keeps me up to date on stuff I'd otherwise not know. I don't know how she finds the time to do all she does.
