I'm Shankar Vitaantham and this is where you will find the new Hidden Brain podcast in September.

But since you're here already, let me give you a little sneak peek.

We're going to talk about human behavior in lots of different ways on this podcast.

We're going to have stories, conversations, and we're also going to play lots of games.

Come on.

And we're going to use them to show the connection between the science of human behavior

and the world of artists.

One, comedians, two, even magicians.

Three, green of hearts.

Human behavior is all about patterns.

Some are obvious, many are hidden.

Understanding those patterns reveals all kinds of interesting things.

I've been raised to never allow the man to sit with his back to the door

because I was taught that if anything I'm for a scene where it happened,

the man should be ready to protect you.

I am not the kind of guy who would actually be able to save you, Michelle.

That is very, very unlikely.

And we'll share advice that you can use in the office on a date and around the family dinner table.

So if you want to get someone's attention, whisper into their right ear.

Hidden Brain, a conversation about life's unseen patterns.

Discover what's inside your hidden brain.
