Feeling Stressed? Experts explain what’s happening in your brain and body

from Sound of Ideas · host Ideastream Public Media

Stress and the body Stress is part of everyday life. For many of us, it stems from work, family, relationships or simply trying to keep up with the demands of a busy world. In a study released last year by the American Psychological Association, 76% of adults said the future of the nation was a significant source of stress. The economy was close behind, at 75%. While some stress can help us stay focused and respond to challenges, chronic stress can take a serious toll on both our brains and our bodies. Tuesday on the "Sound of Ideas" guest hosted by Anna Huntsman, we'll start the hour by exploring the different types of stress, how they can affect our long-term health, and the warning signs that it may be time to seek help. Guests:- Adam Borland, Psy.D., Clinical Psychologist, Cleveland Clinic- Jasmeet Hayes, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, The Ohio State University 2026 Summer Interns As summer winds down, many college internships are also coming to a close. This year, Ideastream Public Media welcomed eight college interns and one high school student from University School to the Idea Center to develop their skills and gain hands-on experience across multiple departments, from news and marketing to classical music. To end the hour, we'll spend some time with a few of those interns to hear about the projects they worked on, how the experience has shaped their career goals and what they'll take away from their summer at Ideastream. Guests:- Alex Braun, Content Production Intern, Ideastream Public Media- Charlotte Jons, News Intern, Ideastream Public Media- Jillian Osredkar, Marketing Intern, Ideastream Public Media- Lucas Yang, Arts & Culture Intern, Ideastream Public Media
