We can’t get enough science and reason at Smart Apparel, so to get our daily fix we often turn to podcasts. If you don’t listen to podcasts—they are extremely enjoyable to listen to especially while on long drives, winding down at night, or (often in our case) while designing a new shirt. Due to our love of these podcasts, we want to share some of our favorites—but in return we want to know what some of your favorites are as well!



*We would have a hard time listing these in order of most liked and wouldn't want to try. So for that reason, these are in no particular order which is why they are not numbered.



Waking Up



Waking Up is hosted by neuroscientist, philosopher, and best-selling author Sam Harris. He explores important and controversial questions about the human mind, society, and current events. These episodes are not weekly and you never know when the next one will be released, but when you get an email from Sam announcing a new episode—you can’t wait to listen to it.



To receive that email from Sam, just sign up for his newsletter via his website.

Dogma Debate

The Thinking Atheist



The Thinking Atheist is a weekly radio podcast hosted by author and video producer Seth Andrews. It is arguably the most popular atheist podcast/show after The Atheist Experience. It must also be said that Seth has one of the best if not the best voices in the podcast world, and because of that—The Thinking Atheist is a wonderful choice before bed as his voice is so relaxing!
