Hosted by Paris Lees, this science and storytelling podcast hears two stories from opposite sides of the coin and uses science to ask questions about elements of the human experience we take for granted.
From why we forgive or why we devote ourselves to a cause, to what makes someone family and what a new language can reveal about ourselves. With international stories explored through social science, Paris Lees reflects on what makes us human.

From why we forgive or why we devote ourselves to a cause, to what makes someone family and what a new language can reveal about ourselves. With international stories explored through social science, Paris Lees reflects on what makes us human.
From an African American who moved to Taiwan and felt more aware of her race to a man who found Animal Crossing to be the perfect world to test out his interest in gender fluidity, Paris asks where we see our race and our sexual identity differently when our surrounding demographics change. Organisational psychologist Hajo Adam helps us to understand what impact our surroundings have on our decision making, creativity and identity.
If we change our surroundings, is this a quick fix to changing who we are?
