The Hidden Science of How We Read

Think you know how you read or count? Think again. Your brain is pulling off incredible, often unconscious, feats! Discover why you instantly 'see' small numbers but struggle with large ones, how a hidden 'mental number line' guides your number sense, and the surprising ways our brains handle quantities, often approximating larger amounts. Then, unlock the secrets of reading: from the hidden letter size tricks that make text look normal to how your eyes rapidly jump and process words without conscious effort. We didn't evolve to read, but our ancient brains are masters of neural recycling, decoding symbols in ways more complex than sounding out letters. Get ready to explore the fascinating, weird, and often invisible processes behind seeing numbers and reading words.

Panic & Prosperity: The US Economy from 1929 to 2008 (Tariffs?)

History repeats itself—especially when it comes to economic crises. Panic & Prosperity dives deep into the financial disasters that shaped the U.S. economy, from the stock market crash of 1929 to the housing bubble burst of 2008. How did these events unfold? Who were the key players? And what lessons (if any) did we actually learn? Join us as we explore the cycles of boom and bust, the policies that made or broke the economy, and the lasting impact of these crises on everyday people. Whether you’re a history buff, an economics geek, or just curious about how financial meltdowns happen, this episode will give you the insights you need—without the jargon.
