The cultural evolution of your face
We use our faces more than any other part of our body to communicate with others and that communication has evolved a lot over the centuries. Fay Bound-Alberti founded the Centre for Technology and the Body at King’s College London where she leads Interface, a project examining technologies of the face. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how facial understanding is tied to where and when people live, what happens when someone is “face blind,” and why the Mona Lisa’s smile is still so beguiling. Her book is “The Face: A Cultural History.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

How to live with uncertainty (you don’t have a choice)
There is comfort in certainty, but there is resilience in embracing the uncertain.

Consumer protection is on the decline… you’ve probably noticed
Consumers are mad as hell, and they’re not going to take it anymore. Heather Timmons writes about consumer rights for The Guardian.

The trend in global entertainment: hyperlocal
Taylor Swift’s world tour was a huge hit, but will there be like it? Tom Wainwright, media editor at the Economist, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the rise of “local” entertainment, where artists want to appeal to a smaller segment of the population and not go “global,” and what that means for the United States’ hold on shaping culture. His article is “Entertainment is being deglobalized.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

She created space for women astronauts
Training to blast off in a rocket is one thing, but being the first mother in space turned out to be much harder. Anna Fisher was a NASA astronaut from 1996 to 2002, the chief of the Space Station branch of the Astronaut Office and the first mother in space. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss her record as the longest serving astronaut at 36 years and 9 months, the ways her space flight became controversial and political, and about the trail she blazed for women today. She’s part of the new PBS documentary “Once Upon a Time in Space.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

There’s a dad bod and a dad brain
Motherhood changes a woman’s brain in many ways and now we know dad’s minds are impacted, too. Darby Saxbe is a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Southern California. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the changes fathers go through when a baby is born from hormones to attention span the important role grandfathers play, and why there’s a pretty good reason for a “dad bod.” Her book is “Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men’s Lives.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Consciousness is something we can’t touch, see or even measure and yet each of us possesses it.
