Join us to discuss False Alarms. This listening playlist explores the gap between our perception and reality so we can better understand our responses to fear and uncertainty. Reg. preferred. 18+

This month's playlist explores False Alarms and the gap between our perception and reality. False alarms evoke strong reactions—panic, relief, and sometimes even humor—highlighting how easily we can be thrown off course by misinformation or misunderstood signals. This podcast playlist invites us to explore the psychological, social, and even technological dimensions of false alarms, showing how they impact everything from personal experiences to global events. It’s a compelling lens through which we can better understand our responses to uncertainty, fear, and the unexpected.
