Background Reading (Kaha Mind)

by Kaha Mind

We’ve been asking a lot of questions lately. Not just about what psychology tells us, but about what happens when you look a little closer at the research behind it. That’s the thinking behind Background Reading, a new podcast from Kaha Mind. Each episode starts in behavioural research and from there we follow the evidence, pull apart what we think we know, and see where it takes us. We’re excited to finally put it out into the world. Follow Background Reading for the episodes to come.
