Weekly roundup — Let's talk (to a whale)
If we wanted to talk to a gigantic underwater animal, how would we do that? Also, lose weight... by making friends!
Yes, songs are getting simpler, angrier & more about 'me'
Dear elderly people, you were right. Today's music isn't what it used to be. The interesting part is why.
A (surprising) connection between bad eating & loneliness
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.
Weekly roundup — In your head, your heart & your tummy
Angry? New research shows you can 'export' it and then destroy it! Also, make yourself healthier and happier... by being touched... by something!
Please touch me (it's for my health)
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.
Where do you feel music?
A good song resonates inside you. But the question is... where? Well, it depends — on 'surprise' and 'uncertainty.'
Solar eclipse? Drive carefully.
There's a 30% increase in car deaths due to solar eclipses, and it's important to know why that happens.
Weekly roundup — There's so much in this one we couldn't find a title
Frozen hands, subjective aging, understanding autism — this episode has a ton of science (and some angry YouTube comments).
A vaccine for... cocaine?
Human trials are underway to stop cocaine addiction using vaccines. Do they work? And if so, how?
Weekly roundup — Fat dogs & a new gender bias
If you're tempted to blame dog owners for their chunky animals... think twice. Also, should Gabe and Conor be perfectly informed on every study they talk about?
