The My Idiot Brother Questions Everything is hosted by two brothers—self-proclaimed “idiots” with a serious passion for critical thinking. Each episode encourages critical thinking in the context of myriad subjects: from books and articles to barriers to reasoning, and from psychological, social and environmental influences to real examples of critical and non-critical thought. We draw on current events, history, our own experiences and smart guests for lively, logical, good-humored conversations. Join us if you want to think more clearly, but especially if you don't.
