  • The 3 Things Weirdly Absent from Your Dreams

    The 3 Things Weirdly Absent from Your Dreams
    Oct 20 2026

    You can fly, turn invisible or ride a giraffe through an airport in your dreams. But there are three perfectly ordinary activities that almost never make an appearance. This episode explores a bizarre peculiarity of dreaming, what it might tell us about the evolution of the human brain, and why even Freud probably didn't want to hear about your dreams.

    Why Pain Is Good For You
    Oct 2 2026

    Pain is miserable, but living without it is considerably worse. This episode explores the extraordinary lives of people born unable to feel pain, from a 1930s vaudeville performer (the "Human Pincushion") to a man who had both legs amputated without painkillers, to discover why pain hurts quite so much – and why your survival depends on it.

  • Are You Actually Asleep Right Now?

    Are You Actually Asleep Right Now?
    Sep 20 2026

    How do you know whether you’re actually asleep? People with paradoxical insomnia can spend the night convinced they’re wide awake, while their brainwaves insist otherwise.

    This episode explores what happens when your experience of sleep disagrees with the electrical evidence, why the sleeping brain may be more awake than we once thought, and whether you might actually be getting more sleep than you realise.
