Podcast Review: Are Stupid People Happier?

The Podcast that I chose is from HowStuffWorks.com and is titled "Are Stupid People Happier?" The Podcast was all audio in the form of a discussion where two people were given a topic along with relevant research. Along with that they gave their thoughts on the research and also brought up what they knew about the subject in terms of experience and opinion. Overall though I was not very impressed with the Podcast because most of the discussion seemed to be filler. They started out on track with the subject at hand and pretty much answered the question within the first few minutes of the show. They went on to what they thought were problems with the research and even into what happiness was(which I thought was relevant) but for most of the show they just discussed different types of psychology that had to do with happiness which I didn't really think was needed as it only related to the issue instead of shedding more light on it. It felt like the brought that. in because they had another 15 minutes to fill. So while I think the format and style of the show had potential(and I wouldn't doubt that some of their other shows were good if they had more to talk about) it didn't really work for the subject because there was not enough to discuss in the time allotted.
