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.
This science and storytelling podcast looks at two very different human experiences, as told by the people who lived them. Using social science, we find threads that tie the opposing stories together, and uncover bigger questions about the ways we behave.
Journalist Paris Lees hosts the podcast with warmth and intimacy, encouraging the guests to share their stories while also being open with her own history and anecdotes. Immersive sound design brings us deeper into the stories and the science, which we weave together to reflect on why we are the way we are.
