In this opening segment, we explore how moments of public embarrassment can lead to surprising psychological benefits. It may feel awful in the moment, but research says it could actually improve your well-being in the long run. https://exploringyourmind.com/making-fool-yourself-makes-you-happier/ Everyone lies… but at what cost? When you're caught in a lie, the damage goes beyond embarrassment — it can change how others see you and even how you see yourself. In this fascinating conversation, Drew Curtis, licensed psychologist and faculty member at Angelo State University, explains the psychology of lying. He's author of Big Liars: What Psychological Science Tells Us About Lying and How You Can Avoid Being Duped (https://amzn.to/47PmsmP), and he reveals why we lie, how it affects our lives, and how to spot deception before it fools you. The space race is no longer just between nations — now, it's fueled by billionaires, startups, and high-stakes competition. Ashlee Vance, bestselling author of When the Heavens Went on Sale: The Misfits and Geniuses Racing to Put Space Within Reach (https://amzn.to/44gavDB) and feature writer at Bloomberg Businessweek, joins me to explore how private companies are transforming space exploration. Discover who's really leading the charge — and what's at stake as space becomes the next frontier for profit. It sounds strange, but the bubbles in your cup of coffee might just give you a hint about the day's forecast. In this quick and quirky segment, I explain how to read the signs in your coffee — and the science (sort of) behind it. https://www.instructables.com/Predict-weather-with-a-cup-of-coffee/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

Barcelona-born Enric Marco was celebrated as a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp, being awarded Catalonia's highest civil distinction, the Creu de Sant Jordi, publicly sharing his experiences and even representing a survivors' association. However in 2005 the historian Benito Bermejo discovered that Marco's life story was a monumental lie. Although he spent time in Germany during World War II, Marco was never held prisoner in Flossenbürg concentration camp as he claimed; in reality he voluntarily worked for the German war machine. Since then a lot has been published on the subject; there is a book by Javier Cercas, two films and endless media reports. But the question still remains - what led Marco to weave such a complicated web of lies? We interview Benito Bermejo about the investigation leading up to Marco's disclosure and learn about the thousands of Catalan Republicans who really were deported during the war and who perished in German concentration camps. Catalan News journalist Cillian Shields sits down with host Beth Cohen to explore the circumstances that led Marco to lie about his past and the historical context which favored the credibility of his story. We also talk to psychologist Dr. Drew Curtis, who specializes in deceit and pathological liars, and draw parallels with cases of other famous imposters. This week's Catalan phrase is ‘sembla mentida' - it seems like a lie. ‘Sembla mentida' that someone would fake being a concentration camp victim… but it actually happened.

We're uncovering the truth about liars on this episode with psychologist and author Drew Curtis, PhD. We discuss pathological liars, why some people lie all the time (especially about insignificant things), and if there are ways to detect a liar. And of course we talk about lies and deception in dating – the point in a relationship where people lie most, the differences between what men and women lie about, the motivations for dishonesty, if you can regain trust after being deceived, and if “once a liar, always a liar” is true. Before Drew joins us, we're talking about Rayna's cowgirl fashion, Ashley's favorite/most random fan encounter, and we're popping off about people taking pics.
