    The cultural evolution of your face

    We use our faces more than any other part of our body to communicate with others and that communication has evolved a lot over the centuries. Fay Bound-Alberti founded the Centre for Technology and the Body at King’s College London where she leads Interface, a project examining technologies of the face. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how facial understanding is tied to where and when people live, what happens when someone is “face blind,” and why the Mona Lisa’s smile is still so beguiling. Her book is “The Face: A Cultural History.”  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

    There is comfort in certainty, but there is resilience in embracing the uncertain.

    The trend in global entertainment: hyperlocal

    Taylor Swift’s world tour was a huge hit, but will there be like it?

His article is “Entertainment is being deglobalized.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss her record as the longest serving astronaut at 36 years and 9 months, the ways her space flight became controversial and political, and about the trail she blazed for women today.

    There’s a dad bod and a dad brain

    Motherhood changes a woman’s brain in many ways and now we know dad’s minds are impacted, too. Darby Saxbe is a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Southern California. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the changes fathers go through when a baby is born from hormones to attention span the important role grandfathers play, and why there’s a pretty good reason for a “dad bod.” Her book is “Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men’s Lives.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
