Episode description

If you like science podcasts, check out the latest series of Hormones: The Inside Story, from the team behind Genetics Unzipped. We’re busting myths and misconceptions about the complex world of hormones, and exploring everything from how hormones impact our height to whether they hold the key to defying aging. Find Hormones: The Inside Story on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podbean or wherever you get your podcasts.

We’re getting in harmony with the science of music. Is there a music gene? Does musical talent really run in families? And how does the inability to perceive music, known as amusia, impact on daily life?
