This Week's Drive-Time Podcast!    
   
This week's recommended podcast is from: 
    
Shankar Vedantam uses science and storytelling to reveal the unconscious patterns that drive human behavior, shape our choices and direct our relationships.

              

Turn on the news or look at Twitter, and it's likely you'll be bombarded by outrage. Many people have come to believe that the only way to spark change is to incite anger. This week on 
Hidden Brain, how outrage is hijacking our conversations, our communities, and our minds.

   
Enjoy, learn, be amazed, and be inspired!
