Episode 137: How Emotions Are Made
How many emotions can you name?
Just what is Emotional wellness anyway?
Lisa Feldman Barrett has written a revolutionary book about our emotions, HOW EMOTIONS ARE MADE: The Secret Life of the Brain (2018). It is comprehensive in its scope and challenges the classical theory we have all embraced and on which we have built our society/culture.
Kristen and Eleanor agree that it is “mindblowing” (ELLE) and that it is “Chock-full of startling, science-backed findings.” (Forbes).
Join our conversation as we begin exploring this new view on emotions!

Episode 135: Flavor
White chocolate and anchovies, anyone?
This week, we opened a book by Bob Holmes, FLAVOR: The Science of Our Most Neglected Sense (2017).
He takes us on an exploration of the sum of all the sensations we get when we have food in our mouth.
He goes all over the world to talk to researchers, food corporation executives, chefs, and “home cooks.”
Kristen and Eleanor had fun talking about Holmes' insights on flavor pairings, wine tasting, how we can experience more flavor from food, and so much more. Producer Tim even chimes in with his experience too.
