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.

We hear the story of a man whose celebrity friend break up ruined his Hollywood career and another of a Drag Queen who stopped drinking and stepped away from friends that weren’t good for them.
Dr Mariso G. Franco talks to Paris about the connections we form with other people and how that affects our health, our motivation and our sense of self.
