Episode notes
You are getting very sleepy…listen to our voices…
Hopefully you haven’t fallen into a trance-induced hypnosis just yet as there is a new episode to listen to! This contentious episode explores both the history of hypnosis and its more modern understanding. There’s a surprising amount of science behind this favored Victorian party trick that also has roots in spiritual practices.
Strap in as we discuss magnets, mesmerism, MRIs, and…The Pope?
