Podcast Discoveries

So I have stumbled into 6 new podcasts that I found very fascinating.  5 of them are from the famous NPR.  I encourage all to check them out.  I listen to them on Stitcher Radio, but you should be able to get them on almost every place that plays podcasts including iTunes and the NPR 1 App.

Here are the shows (in order of discovery) and their descriptions:

Invisibilia (Latin for invisible things) is about the invisible forces that control human behavior – ideas, beliefs, assumptions and emotions. Co-hosted by Lulu Miller, Hanna Rosin and Alix Spiegel, Invisibilia interweaves narrative storytelling with scientific research that will ultimately make you see your own life differently.

From WHYY and NPR, Fresh Air is one of public radio's most popular programs. Hosted by Terry Gross, the podcast features in depth conversations with guests from all different industries and backgrounds. This Peabody Award-winning podcast is available on demand six days a week.

The Hidden Brain helps curious people understand the world – and themselves. Using science and storytelling, Hidden Brain's host Shankar Vedantam reveals the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior, the biases that shape our choices, and the triggers that direct the course of our relationships.

Ever find yourself in a conversation about race and identity where you just get...stuck? Code Switch can help. We're all journalists of color, and this isn't just the work we do.

Go on an adventure into unexpected corners of the health and science world each week with award-winning host Maiken Scott. The Pulse will take you behind the doors of operating rooms, into the lab with some of the world’s foremost scientists, and back in time to explore life-changing innovations. The Pulse delivers stories in ways that matter to you, and answers questions you never knew you had. Created by WHYY in Philadelphia, the NPR member station that brought you Fresh Air with Terry Gross.

Criminal is a podcast about crime. Not so much the "if it bleeds, it leads," kind of crime. Something a little more complex. Stories of people who've done wrong, been wronged, and/or gotten caught somewhere in the middle. Proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.
