Podcast Recommendation: Hidden Brain

Sarah Best

12th May 2020

This episode from NPR Hidden Brain examines the power of social connection.

An American doctor, Vivek Murphy is interviewed and he calls loneliness "the dark masquerader" as he describes how it can often manifest itself as other emotions such as anger.

This podcast could be used as part of an enrichment programme for students at this time.

Vivek Murphy is also interviewed about the same topic area/s by Jameela Jamil here (does contain strong language).
