| Date | Episode | Description | Length | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6/18/26 | SpaceX & a low-g baby? | When Elon Musk talks about a human 'civilization' on Mars, he's suggesting we'll have babies there. Should we? | — | ||||||
| 6/11/26 | The 'Google maps' inside a pigeon's liver | A new experiment shows pigeons use immune cells to navigate our planet. The discovery redefines our understanding of how an animal can 'feel' Earth's magnetic field. | — | ||||||
| 5/28/26 | Do you want to have kids? | There are plenty of reasons NOT to have kids. But a new paper suggests having them may be the only way to protect gender equality over the long term. | — | ||||||
| 5/21/26 | The testosterone age (or Honey, I shrunk my testes) | Influencers, billionaires, even the US health secretary. Proponents of testosterone — as a hormonal therapy or barometer of "masculinity" — are causing men to self-medicate. With nasty consequences. | — | ||||||
| 5/13/26 | Hantavirus: What to expect from here | This ship phase is over. But the nature of this virus means cases may rise — even as officials contain it. | — | ||||||
| 5/7/26 | Is the hantavirus the next pandemic? | If you want to understand why the Andes variant of the hantavirus is different than COVID-19, this episode's for you. | — | ||||||
| 4/30/26 | The ad that makes you drink more | We know advertising works. (It's why the industry exists.) But a new study on beer ads in Germany shows how. Causally. | — | ||||||
| 4/24/26 | How can I tell if someone's smart? | Some people seem to know if others are intelligent. Others... don't. A new study suggests why. | — | ||||||
| 4/16/26 | There's almost no way to make us like AI art. Why? | A new study tried just about everything to get people to have a more positive reaction to AI poetry and prose. It failed. Almost always. And it's worth talking about why. (NOTE: A human wrote this.) | — | ||||||
| 3/26/26 | Deepfake nudes & why men make them | Lust? Humiliation? Control? If you think you know why men and boys make fake AI nudes of women and girls... first-of-its-kind research suggests a motivation that's almost more troubling. (Note: If you or anyone you know is the victim of non-consensual intimate imagery, the global non-profit StopNCII.org provides step-by-step support in 38 languages.) | — | ||||||

| 3/19/26 | When do you think the world will end? | A shockingly high number of people believe a global calamity will happen in their lifetime. Are you one of them? | — | ||||||
| 3/12/26 | The war on phone blasting | A viral TikTok of a woman kicked off a plane is a good time to talk about how to (productively) confront loud people. | — | ||||||
| 3/5/26 | Why do I get goosebumps when I listen to music? | Some of us get chills from music, movies or art. And others... never do. Why is that? | — | ||||||
| 2/26/26 | Wait — who's friendzoning who here?! | It's usually guys who complain about being 'friendzoned.' But new research says it definitely happens to women, too — sometimes. | — | ||||||
| 2/19/26 | How different are the brains of boys and girls? | A new study shows a sex difference in the early growth of the human brain. Does it matter? | — | ||||||
| 2/12/26 | When a pet’s death really hurts | The loss of a pet can affect you more than losing a loved one, a new study shows. With one exception. | — | ||||||
| 1/29/26 | Why do humans have (relatively) large penises? | Compared to chimps or gorillas, human males are unusually well endowed. A new study suggests it's partly because men 'size each other up' before a fight. | — | ||||||
| 1/22/26 | How casual hookups are good (and healthy) for singles | You really do benefit from 'friends with benefits,' a new study suggests. Also, a forgotten birthday can tank employee morale and a look at how the Autobahn lead to more support for the Nazi party. | — | ||||||
| 1/15/26 | The anomie within | When it feels like society's breaking down right before your eyes, it's called anomie. And it can lead to an even a darker place. | — | ||||||
| 1/8/26 | Do you think animals can think? | It's an interesting question. Even more intriguing is why you believe what you do — and whether you live near a city. | — | ||||||
| 1/1/26 | Neanderthals chose to eat each other? | Cannibalism happened among the Neanderthals. That much we knew. Now, a paleoanthropological discovery has possibly uncovered an ugly truth about our distant cousins. Conor and Gabe head to a cave in Belgium to check it out. | — | ||||||
| 12/21/25 | Happy New Year! | Thanks to everybody who listened during this year. Most of all, thank you to those who wrote to us and — in the process — became part of our show. | — | ||||||
| 12/18/25 | Imagine your way to better friendships...? | Want to like someone more? It just takes eight seconds. Also, mice that smelled bacon... had more obese children? | — | ||||||
| 12/11/25 | Who do you give to? (And who do you not?) | $1,000 is put in your hand. With one condition: You have to donate it. What do you do next? | — | ||||||
| 12/4/25 | The Batman effect | A pregnant woman enters a tram. Nearly 40% of the time, she's offered a seat. Unless someone else enters. Dressed as batman. | — | ||||||
