Description

Ever wonder why we' love so much a good story? In my podcast, I dig into the science behind why our brains literally light up like a Christmas tree when we hear one! From feel-good chemicals flooding our minds to the wild fact that our brains actually sync up with other people when we share stories - it's like a neural dance party! I break down why humans are basically storytelling machines, and trust me, it's way more fascinating than your biology class ever was.
