Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThis week we're exploring the power of laughter in our rapidly changing world. We uncover signals about comedy's impact on health, mental wellbeing, and even climate change awareness. From scientific studies showing laughter's benefits for heart patients, to mental health patients using  humor as a tool, to climate scientists partnering with comics to make complex issues more accessible – we're diving into comedy's unexpected roles. We also touch on the rise of laughter yoga, comedy as group therapy, and even Gen Z's unique brand of absurdist humor. Join us as we examine how humor might transform our lives, health, and society in the years to come.For the full transcript and references: Episode WebpageReferences available on the Episode Webpage New episodes every Thursday!
