Episode 72: Squishy Nut Brain

Fan Mail Goes Here!!

This week we wrap up our discussion of Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics and start exploring a new book: The Idiot Brain by Dean Burnett.

Turns out, your brain is amazing… but also kind of a jerk.

We talk about why your brain lies to you, how memories are actually formed, and the surprising reason motion sickness makes you want to throw up.

We also dive into ADHD quirks, audiobook listening strategies, and the strange way emotions can lock memories into your brain forever.

Basically: your brain is fascinating, complicated, and occasionally an idiot.
