Name: 001 - Attention by You Are Not So Smart in You Are Not So Smart -- Every Episode
Duration: 40 min 18 s
Description: In this episode of the You Are Not So Smart Podcast we discuss attention and interview co-author of "The Invisible Gorilla" Daniel Simons. Also, at the end, we eat an Oreo fudge cookie brownie and discuss the foreign language effect.

I can't believe that after 3 years of stroking my confirmation biases by listening repeatedly to the audiobooks that I've only just discovered that this podcast has been available the entire time. How's that for attention?

Yeah, nice try. Your liberal bias trying to justify Hillary's lying and blatant gross fabrication of events for political gain. You know damn well she's a liar and politician who does more than conflate things. That was an awful example to use.

So I get that we can be fooled by the cocktail effect and don't always react when we hear our own names - but why is it that we react to it in the first place? Our name certainly isn't something natural, yet plenty of animals show an ability to react with increased attention to a particular sound (such as we do with our names - but I couldn't tell whether a dog necessarily consider a sound to be its name or not)?

the intro song made me think my Internet was broke

Welcome to Night Vale

121 - A Story of Love and Horror, Part 1: "Barks"

This hour of Radiolab, a look behind the curtain of how memories are made...and forgotten. Remembering is an unstable and profoundly unreliable process--it’s easy come, easy go as we learn how true memories can be obliterated, and false ones added. And Oliver Sacks joins us to tell the story of an amnesiac whose love for his wife and music transcend his 7-second memory.

004 - The Self

Introduced by Peter Donaldson, Recorded by Joe and Alan Harfield, Unity Recording Studio, Auldearn, Edited and Mixed at dBs Music

'I have written a blasphemous book', said Melville when his novel was first published in 1851, 'and I feel as spotless as the lamb'. Deeply subversive, in almost every way imaginable, Moby-Dick is a virtual, alternative bible - and as such, ripe for reinterpretation in this new world of new media. Out of Dominion was born its bastard child - or perhaps its immaculate conception - the Moby-Dick Big Read: an online version of Melville's magisterial tome: each of its 135 chapters read out aloud, by a mixture of the celebrated and the unknown, to be broadcast online, one new chapter each day, in a sequence of 135 downloads, publicly and freely accessible.

Starting 16 September 2012!
