The podcast episodes explore the evolutionary paths of mammalian and avian brains, delving into the unique brain structures and efficient organization that enable birds to exhibit complex thought processes and cognitive abilities rivaling those of primates and humans.

The first episode, Bird Brains, challenges the notion that birds are unintelligent creatures, while the third episode, You have more control over your emotions than you think, touches on the evolutionary perspective of the brain's development and its implications for understanding emotions.

The second episode, Are our attention spans getting shorter?, highlights the mismatch between how our brains evolved to function in nature and the demands of modern life, particularly constant exposure to screens and digital stimuli, as a key factor in declining attention spans.
