Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brains On presents Forever Ago: History Mystery Sounds
Q: Would you ever want to go to space yourself, Gabi?
Gabi once wanted to go to space, but after hearing about astronaut testing, she decided she would rather study space on Earth as an astrophysicist or help send rockets.
Brains On presents Forever Ago: History Mystery Sounds
Q: What is the sound that makes you want to plug your ears?
Gabi says loud advertisements interrupting a song are unpleasant, and Joy agrees that the sudden change in volume is jarring.
Can dogs read our minds?
Q: So how can we get to understand our dogs even better?
Pay attention to the dog's whole body, including its ears, mouth, tail, posture, and sounds. Individual dogs also develop unique signals, so observing a dog's own patterns can help.
Can dogs read our minds?
Q: Can dogs understand or talk telepathically or at least feel or know what we're feeling?
Dogs do not appear to read minds, but they can notice changes in a person's behavior, body language, and possibly scent. Those cues can reveal that something has changed without showing that the dog understands the person's inner thoughts.
Why do we like getting scared?
Q: What makes a good scary story?
J.A. White says readers should be invested in the characters and feel as though the frightening events are happening to them.
