Facts in Mind
Facts in Mind is a podcast for curious minds. We explore everything from science, psychology, and technology to education, culture, and public health. Each episode breaks down complex ideas into thoughtful, accessible conversations—designed to spark curiosity, promote deeper understanding, and support inclusive learning for all.
Co-hosted by Kimia Grigoriev and Amber Parrow, who met at Harvard Extension School while juggling work, family, and school, the podcast was born from their shared passion for making knowledge accessible. As founding President and Vice President of the Harvard Extension School Psychology Student Club, they built a community focused on education, advocacy, and empathy.
Whether we’re talking about mental health, AI, grief, language, neurodiversity, or education reform, Facts in Mind connects facts to real-life meaning—because knowledge should be for everyone.
