This Is Your Brain on Podcasts - Freakonomics

Neuroscientists still have a great deal to learn about the human brain. One recent M.R.I. study sheds some light, finding that a certain kind of storytelling stimulates enormous activity across broad swaths of the brain. The takeaway is obvious: you should be listening to even more podcasts. Let me warn you right off the bat: while today’s episode of Freakonomics Radio is a regular, brand-new episode, it’s also a fund-raiser; one of those episodes where we ask you to send money to WNYC, the public-radio station that produces our show. We’ll talk about that more later, but if you just want to get it out of the way now, all you’ve got to do is click here . Or you can text the word…from freakonomics.com
