About this episode
The episode discusses a study on how people find interest in topics they initially consider boring.
Trending today: a study that reveals most of us actually get more interested than we expect about topics we tend to consider ‘boring.’ But is that because we’re setting the bar low at first, so it’s easy to exceed our expectations – or are onions just that fascinating to talk about?
