Have you been zombified?
Is something taking over your brain? Zombified is a new podcast about how we are vulnerable to being hijacked by things that are not us. From microbes hijacking behavior, to humans influencing each other, to our brains being taken over by social media, we talk about why zombification happens, why we are susceptible to it, and what we can do about it.
Provocative, erudite, and sometimes hysterically funny, this podcast marries impeccable science with creative out of the box thinking.
-Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, NY Times bestselling author of Zoobiquity, Professor at UCLA and Harvard
Terrific podcasts—stimulating, intellectually broad, provides entirely novel perspectives.
-David Buss, bestselling author of The Evolution of Desire, Professor at UT Austin
A great listen - intriguing, relatable and so true! You will learn a lot about your world and yourself.
-Pauline Davies, award-winning radio broadcaster, host and producer for BBC World Service, Professor at ASU
