Invisibilia



I just started listening to this podcast and I'm obsessed with it. It is about the invisible driving forces in our lives and how we can deal with them. Obviously, since I'm a Human Development major, psychology really interests me and this podcast has the most interesting concepts.

They are in their first season so they only have six episodes. But if you ever get the chance, you should listen to it. Here's a link:

There is this one episode, called "Entanglement" where they interview this lady that has this disorder where her mirror neurons are extremely active and she can essentially feel what others are feeling. She sees someone get slapped, she feels like she was just slapped. I was a bit skeptical at first but apparently it is genetic and her brother and daughter also have it. Anyways, there are so many interesting stories like this on the podcast.

  1. I started getting into podcasts this year, and am always looking for another to listen to. So thanks for the suggestion! I am sure I will enjoy it, since we are both in the same major.
