Anauralia: what's it like to have no inner monologue?

How clear is your inner voice? Do you internally narrate your life? And do you get songs stuck in your head? Almost all of us can imagine sounds in our minds. But a small part of the population don't have internal auditory imagery — a phenomenon called anauralia. Today, we explore the experience of anauralia, in an episode from Radio New Zealand's Our Changing World. Our Changing World is produced and presented by Claire Concannon and Ellen Rykers for RNZ. The original version of this episode was first broadcast on RNZ as The puzzle of the silent mind. Special thanks to Auckland University Student Chamber Orchestra, for allowing use of their recording of Beethoven's 5th symphony.

Can you recognise a love song in any language?

Music is a universal feature of the human experience — present from our very first cultures and civilisations. But do the features of particular songs and styles translate across cultural boundaries? Like, is a lullaby recognisable even when it's from a different culture? Can you identify a love song in another language? Today, we explore the special relationship between music and our minds, in an episode from Radio New Zealand's Our Changing World. Our Changing World is produced and presented by Claire Concannon and Ellen Rykers for RNZ. The clips from the Natural History of Song project used in this episode are available online under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. The original version of this episode was first broadcast on RNZ as Our Musical Minds.

Girl, Interrupted: the extreme emotions of PMDD

Laura would spend weeks feeling normal — even happy. But like clockwork, every month, suddenly she would feel intense depression, making her unrecognisable to herself and friends. It took her nearly two decades to identify what was causing this rollercoaster of mood: PMDD, AKA Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. So what is it about hormones that make some people feel such intense emotions? And why is PMDD still so misunderstood? This episode touches on the topic of suicide.

Sick of scrolling? Digital minimalism could help

How many hours have you spent on your phone today? And do you feel like it's too many?

Can we trust our memories?

We don't remember everything that happens to us — so why do we remember what we remember? And the memories we do lock away aren't always accurate or trustworthy. This week, we're talking about the fallibility of memory and why sometimes it's healthy to forget. We'll also get into how to remember special moments more clearly, and here's a hint — you might want to put down your camera sometimes. If you're looking for something to listen to next, check out our episode Overcoming resentment with gratitude.

Once taboo, now good for you: the psychology of masturbation

This week we're talking about something intimate … And at-times taboo … Masturbation. From self-love, to disordered behaviour, and back again, how our perceptions of masturbation have changed over the course of history and why it's still linked to shame and confusion for some. Also — why do humans (and other animals) masturbate in the first place? Just a heads up, if the topic didn't give it away, this episode may not be suitable for little ones. After listening, why not check out Sex is Weird, a series from our fellow science podcast, What the Duck?!

Why the annoying background sounds???

I’d give you five stars except for those background sounds because they are so distracting I miss entirely what is being said over them. Why in earth do you do that??

A fantastic treatment (pun intended) of the psychological. Unfortunately, the background noises on some episodes knocks you down to the stars.

Stories would have been better without all the giggles and maniacal laughter. If you’re looking for a serious podcast on psychology, this isn’t it. Unfollowed.
One liberal slant too many for my taste

I've been a long time listener and have enjoyed many episodes over the years. However, the episode about "conspiracy theorists" slanted as if they are lunatics running naked with machetes down the street, is where my journey ends. I found distasteful and incorrect. The fact is 99% of the so called conspiracies have been proven TRUE. So having a right wing nut bag guest talking about trying to reform a conspiracy theorist friend was completely trash. The fact that many on the left fail to acknowledge all these so called conspiracies are being proven true would have been a better more intriguing listen. Perhaps an "expert" could assist some of them to wake the f up and open their eyes, walk them thru the trenches of their mental illness and arrive in a bright shining field of conservative clarity. On a greater note, I cannot and will not support this podcast or any other avenue of right wing lunacy with my time or pocketbook. Bad mouthing the other side doesnt do your listenership any favors. Im sure im not the only listener who was lost in that train wreck of an episode. Adios Sana.
