Episodes
Weekly roundup — Around the rim
5/4/2024

Your body image, ice baths & sad music
5/3/2024

Avian flu, strangers & orgasms
4/26/2024

Weekly roundup — Let's talk (to a whale)
4/20/2024

Yes, songs are getting simpler, angrier & more about 'me'
4/19/2024
Dear elderly people, you were right. Today's music isn't what it used to be. The interesting part is why.
Duration:00:13:52
A (surprising) connection between bad eating & loneliness
4/19/2024
If you're home alone on a Friday night, you might stuff your face full of chips, chocolate or candy. (Gabe and Conor do.) A study on brain activity shows it's not entirely your fault, though — and that there may be a way to solve it.
Duration:00:16:10
Weekly roundup — In your head, your heart & your tummy
4/15/2024
Angry? New research shows you can 'export' it and then destroy it! Also, make yourself healthier and happier... by being touched... by something!
Duration:00:30:00
Please touch me (it's for my health)
4/12/2024
Are we touching each other less? Probably. Does it matter? Very much. If you're missing physical contact, new research will make you feel better.
Duration:00:12:34
Where do you feel music?
4/12/2024
A good song resonates inside you. But the question is... where? Well, it depends — on 'surprise' and 'uncertainty.'

Weekly roundup — There's so much in this one we couldn't find a title

Solar eclipse? Drive carefully.
3/30/2024
There's a 30% increase in car deaths due to solar eclipses, and it's important to know why that happens.

Duration:00:07:02
Weekly roundup — Fat dogs & a new gender bias
3/24/2024

Duration:00:30:00
Angry? Don't run. Just breathe.
3/23/2024
We all have ways of dealing with anger. And most of them don't really work.
Duration:00:14:09
You probably prefer studies that make women look better (and that's a problem)
3/22/2024
When new research makes women look good, we tend to like it. When it makes men look good, we don't.
Duration:00:17:57
Weekly roundup — Want the job? Be first
3/17/2024
A quirk in human psychology has a big impact on your chances of getting a job, a date or winning a talent show. Also, Conor puts 'social norms erosion' research to the test — twice.

Duration:00:13:19
Weekly roundup — Make yourself do things
3/9/2024
You a procrastinator? (We are.) New research suggests an unexpected cause of that. Also, if you have a tough time confronting rule breakers in public (because who doesn't), a new study shows there's a way to do it right.
Duration:00:30:00
