Listen "Mind Over Modern - The Science Behind Everyday Mysteries"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Mind Over Modern, the podcast that unpacks the science behind everyday mysteries. Hosted by curious college students on a mission to explore the weird and wonderful workings of the mind, each episode dives into real research, strange stories, and brainy surprises—from memory loops to marketing tricks, mystical trips to focus playlists. Ever felt a weird stomach sensation and wondered if your gut is running the show? Been curious if psychedelics can truly reshape your sense of reality? Had a déjà vu moment that made you freeze—or found yourself stuck in sleep paralysis with shadowy figures looming? Wondering if your skincare is actually “clean,” or whether the music you work to is boosting your brain or just vibing in the background? We’ll be diving into all of that and more. It’s fast, fun, and guaranteed to leave you smarter (and probably questioning reality) in under 40 minutes.
