  • Summary

  • Your guide to why people do what they do out there in the world (from Joe Biden to RuPaul to your Aunt in Boston), always based in science, critical thinking, and rational skepticism. Daily doses and analyses of important (and sometimes just downright weird) behavior making the rounds in the news and social media, interviews with expert, fun behavior science games, and just a nerdy fun time geeking out about human behavior throughout the universe.
