Description

Send Zorba a message!

Dr. Zorba and Karl look at new research about the brain mechanism that help us overcome fear. Zorba gives a caller advice about dealing with swimmer's itch. Zorba tries out Karl's acupressure mat (on the show). They talk about how parents used to calm their children back in the day (booze and opium). And Zorba shares his favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe.
