Episode 22 - Jekyll & Hyde | A spooky Halloween episode with Dr Kaitlyn Casimo Neurratives - A Podcast about Neuroscience in Fiction

    • Science

This episode, Nick and Stephen are joined by neuroscientist, educator, and theater nerd Dr Kaitlyn Casimo for the Broadway musical Jekyll & Hyde, starring the one and only David Hasselhoff. As we discuss this musical adaptation of the 1886 Robert Louis Stevenson novella The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, we'll dig into the neuroscience of risk/reward, ponder the medical ethics of Jekyll's research protocol, and generally have a spooky musical time.

What might be the neuroscience behind Jekyll's transformation serum that turns him from a mild-mannered doctor into the monstrous Hyde? Where does this adaptation differ from the original themes of the source material? And most importantly, what on earth is David Hasselhoff doing in a Broadway musical and does he pull it off? Tune in and find out!
