Show Me the Science with Luke O'Neill

Hugely enjoying your podcast. Always so exciting! It has been a real lifesaver during Covid and beyond. You asked about other potential topics. I’d be interested to learn about the connection between science and art. I’m not exactly sure what my question is to be honest - ! The science of art / artists, visual artists, musicians, literary, their creativity etc! How are they so different to the average person? I don’t mean art in science but what has science discovered about what makes an artist, what happens in an artists brain and how it affects their behaviour to produce art. Why some of us end up in the gutter while others may be looking at the stars. Vive La difference! Thanks! 😊

No thanks.

Very good, concise and informative show. My only complaint is that there are far too many ads. The podcast averages about ten - fifteen minutes and there are often three segments for ads, which is at least two too many in my opinion. Hence the reduction of two stars.

I find the background music completely distracting in these podcasts. And as for the infantile sound effects, words fail me! (A cash register to signal the word “trigger”and little mice sounds when animal research is mentioned.) Luke is more than interesting enough. I really wish I could listen to more of this, but I’m totally put off by the background noise.
