Many Minds

Kensy Cooperrider

Booking Overview

This is a biweekly interview-led intellectual science show focused on how human, animal, and artificial beings think, sense, feel, and learn, typically featuring academic researchers, historians of science, philosophers, and authors. Agencies could credibly pitch accomplished cognitive scientists, animal-behavior researchers, linguists, psychologists, evolutionary scholars, philosophers, and authors with substantive research or books in these areas; booking difficulty is medium because guests generally have established scholarly credentials and notable work, though they are not necessarily mainstream celebrities.

Coming of age in Ngogo

Now when I say this story is familiar, I don't just mean familiar to us as human beings. After all, a similar story has long played out among our closest cousins, the chimpanzees. My guest today is Dr. Rachna Reddy. Rachna c...

The natural history of linguistic diversity

August 28, 2026

Thousands of languages are used around the world today, and this linguistic diversity is a precious part of our human heritage. But it's also more than that.

It's in the water, it's in the air. It's electricity—and it's all around us, all the time, including in some places you might not have expected to find it. We humans, after all, are not super tuned in to this layer of r...
