Dear Listeners,

We're back with another thought-provoking episode of "Outrage Overload," and this one is bound to ignite your curiosity! 🎙️

In this week's episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of cognitive traps, misinformation, and our innate tendencies to be taken in by sensational stories. Our special guest, Christopher Chabris, renowned author and co-author of "Nobody's Fool: Why We Get Taken In and What We Can Do about It," joins us for an eye-opening conversation that's all about unraveling the mysteries of human perception.

Remember the "invisible gorilla" experiment that turned into an internet meme sensation? Well, Chris Chabris was one of the minds behind it, and he's here to share not only how that experiment became a viral sensation but also how our brains process information, form beliefs, and sometimes fall into the trap of outrage.

New This Week in Outrage Episode!

It’s everything the Outrage Overload podcast is not. It’s not edited. It’s not scripted. It’s lightly researched. There’s no sophisticated podcast studio equipment. It’s almost always over an hour long. It’s David and Lisa talking about this week in outrage, what was in the news, in the memes, and maybe finding some backstory with a humorous (at least to us) twist.
