  • Fear! Halloween Special
    Nov 1 2024

    On this Halloween episode, we're diving into the science of fear. From the alarms set off in our brains to the psychological forces that drive our survival instincts, we’re unpacking what fear really is and why it shapes us so deeply. We’ll trace fear's roots back to our earliest ancestors, explore how it lingers in our memories, and examine why some fears are impossible to shake. Dim the lights and settle in as we take a closer look at the science lurking behind what makes us afraid. Music: HOME - AWAY
