Hosted by Paris Lees, this science and storytelling podcast hears two stories from opposite sides of the coin and uses science to ask questions about elements of the human experience we take for granted.

From why we lie or why we procrastinate, to the art of persuasion and why humans have to sometimes switch off from the news. With international stories explored through social science, Paris Lees reflects on what makes us human.
