Hidden Brain
You're not broken. You might just be running a very human pattern. Hidden Brain names it.
Who it's for
Vedantam frames each episode around a research finding and the people who study or live it, so a private struggle (feeling helpless, misreading a partner) gets reframed as something studied and shared.
Feelings it meets
What it is
Hidden Brain is a podcast hosted by Shankar Vedantam that covers psychology, neuroscience and related science. It began in 2015 as an outgrowth of an NPR Morning Edition segment and is now produced by Hidden Brain Media, an independent company Vedantam founded in 2019, while NPR continues to distribute the radio show.
Where to find it
