Summary

Ever feel like the world is closing in on you? Do all people appear to you with, say, heavy eyebrows, distorted features – or dragon faces? Have you developed a total breakdown in how you interpret the world, leading to a feeling of disconnection with your own body?

Well, you may have Alice in Wonderland syndrome, a rare affliction that distorts the perception of shape, size, and even time itself. Hannah & Suruthi debut a new radio show – Tuesday Morning Delight – and go down the rabbit hole of one of the most bizarre disorders in human psychology.

Plus: electro-shock therapy, what’s in a migraine, and Lewis Carroll’s paedo diaries.
