​Now That's Not A Very Interesting Podcast - Christmas Special

​Hold onto your Santa hats, listeners! We are deviating from our normally uninteresting routine for a slightly more engaging (but still moderately dull) Christmas special: The Strange Science of Christmas!

​Join us as we explore the mild neurological reasons behind our festive feelings, including:

• ​Why the smell of cinnamon and pine is a direct line to your childhood memories.
• ​The actual psychology that makes warm Christmas lights feel so cosy (it’s all about the low Kelvin temperature).
• ​Why we collectively obsess over the idea of snow, despite barely getting any.

​Plus, a heartfelt reminder for those spending the day alone. Wishing you a peaceful and Merry Christmas!
