Episode 3
Have you ever thought very hard about laughter? Laughter can express everything from delight to fear, and it can have physiological implications, as well. It’s also often contagious--which helps explain the canned laugh tracks we all know and (maybe) love.
In this episode, Dr. Camille Holiner and I break down the meaning of laughter, the role of groupthink in how films, TV, and books are received, and how untreated trauma can affect our lives.
