Hello, Scholars!
I bet you think that the academic world is full of musty books, boring windowless rooms, and dull people speaking in hushed tones. I’m here to prove otherwise! My name is Ira McIntosh and my new podcast, Hypothesis, aims to demystify academia, encourage curiosity, and highlight researchers who are pursuing knowledge that will uplift humanity.
By interviewing guests who are deeply involved in higher education, Hypothesis will prove to our listeners that you can be inspired to continue learning, think critically about sourcing information, and broaden your educational horizons. Hypothesis will combat the current culture of misinformation by introducing you to some of the most exciting, interesting, and engaging new thinkers across a variety of fields from sociology and astrophysics to neuroscience and beyond!
Join us every Monday on all major podcast providers as we talk through intense subjects in ways you can understand! You don’t need the degrees my guests have in order to listen! Hypothesis is here to get to the bottom of academia and prove that even researchers are cool, too! Subscribe to Hypothesis on your favorite podcast app today and join in the academic conversation!
