Glenn Richards, host of 89.1 WUFT-FM Morning Edition, spoke with NPR social science correspondent Shankar Vedantam, who hosts the podcast and new weekly radio show Hidden Brain.

Hidden Brain can be heard beginning Sunday at 4 p.m., right before All Things Considered, part of the new weekend lineup on 89.1 WUFT-FM and 90.1 WJUF-FM.

From NPR:

Hidden Brain links research from psychology and neurobiology with findings from economics, anthropology and sociology, among other fields. The goal of Hidden Brain isn't merely to entertain, but to give you insights to apply at work, at home and throughout your life.

Hidden Brain began as a weekly series on NPR's Morning Edition and launched as a podcast in September 2015. It became an hour-long radio show in the fall of 2017.

The show has won numerous awards, including a Webby and a Kavli Science Journalism Award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The Hidden Brain team can be reached via email, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
