Rob brings in a couple of special topics this week. He teaches Rachel and Tess about the effects of Catnip (safe for animals?) and opens up a debate over the best crisp flavour, must to Tess's dismay.
Rob brings in a plethora of fishy puns. From D Double Eel, to Pearl Clam, they come rolling in from Rob and the listeners. Plus, a guide through coral damage from climate change and how the fish can rebuild. Nice.
We're taking a ride back to the dawn of left and right handed folk. Where does it come from? Why are we like this? Is there a deeper meaning? Rob's in the know.
Rob's come across the Wim Hof Method, and he's skeptical. Can some fast paced believing really make you immune to the cold? Could be worth a go. Dubious.
Rob couldn't choose between two fascinating topics today, so he's here with both. Running us through the origin of the orange (the word not the fruit), asking which came first? And why don't we call yellow, banana? Always asking the hard questions. Secondly, Rob educates us on the fastest moving ant. Wow.
Rob's talking about the Pavlovian theory this morning, something he's not a huge fan of. From dog food to bells, this marketing technique is one that Rob reckons is just stink. Tune in to find out more about this classic conditioning.
This week on The Mind Trench, we're digging our way through the placebo effect. How does it work? Does it really cure you? Is paracetamol even real? Interesting stuff.
