Episode Synopsis

S1E08 - NotebookLM Ai explores the gendered nature of humour, focusing on the different ways men and women perceive, produce, and respond to humour. They examine research on humour in social interactions, romantic relationships, and professional settings, highlighting the tendency for men to use humour to establish dominance and women to use it to build connections.
