    Ivy Insights

    The Normal Adult Human podcast is a treasure trove of insightful and relatable conversations that delve into various aspects of life. It provides a much-needed escape for listeners, especially those with long work commutes, allowing them to unwind and relax after a tiring day. The hosts, Charlie and Morgan, have a natural and engaging conversational style that makes it easy for listeners to pay attention and stay invested in the discussions. Their candidness and interesting topics make them incredibly likable, while also inspiring listeners to explore new interests such as enamel pin collecting through their recommendations from Strike Gently Co and Inner Decay. Additionally, the podcast's representation of mental health issues, with personal anecdotes from the hosts themselves, creates an inclusive environment where listeners feel less alone in their struggles with depression and anxiety.

    One of the best aspects of The Normal Adult Human podcast is its genuine authenticity. Charlie and Morgan come across as good-hearted individuals whose conversations feel real rather than rehearsed or forced. This authenticity not only aids in establishing a connection with listeners but also helps create an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable discussing important topics openly. Furthermore, the lack of a structured format allows for spontaneous tangents that often lead to surprising insights or thought-provoking discussions. The hosts' exploration of various subjects keeps the podcast fresh and ensures that there is always something new to discover.

    While The Normal Adult Human podcast has numerous great qualities, there are few drawbacks worth mentioning. One notable aspect is the occasional tangents taking away from the main topic at hand. While these diversions can be interesting and add value to the conversation, they may sometimes leave listeners wanting more focus on specific subjects or could cause confusion regarding the overall point being discussed. Additionally, some episodes may benefit from more structure or organization to help guide the flow of conversation smoothly.

    In conclusion, The Normal Adult Human podcast is undoubtedly one of the best podcasts out there for those looking for genuine conversations about life's highs and lows. It provides a sense of comfort and relatability to listeners, making them feel less alone in their experiences. The podcast's breadth of topics and the hosts' engaging style make it an enjoyable and insightful listen. Despite minor shortcomings, this podcast consistently delivers new episodes that captivate and resonate with its audience, earning it high praise and recommendations from fans around the world.

    We've been doing the show for over a year now. We do a lot of talking. If you've just started listening recently, you've probably thought to yourself, "Who are these assholes?" Hopefully this episode will help explain.  From there we discuss perspective, world-views, family, tolerance, etc. At the end of the episode, we solve the Riemann hypothesis, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and death, so it's very important for you to listen to the entire show.
