Customer Reviews
Farnam Street knowledge in a whole new medium
Farnam Street is a site that makes you smarter. Sometimes, without even realizing it. Shane's ability to pull the most salient pieces of information from the books and essays he reads is evident in this new podcast, where his quest for knowledge puts him in front of some of today's greatest thinkers. Great show to listen to, probably best to sit down with a pen & paper to take notes though!
Already learning so much -- Shane Parrish does it again!
Being a fan of Farnam Street for a long time, I was really excited for this and it did not disappoint!
Great first episode and I can't wait for more.
Very well done podcast!
This show is unique in that it actually delivers on what others promise. It's interesting and practical in a way that is unobtrusive.
