Minding the Brain

Jim Davies, Kim Hellemans

Booking Overview

A monthly science interview and explainer show focused on the brain, cognition, behavior, and related research, alternating host-led episodes with interviews featuring academic researchers. Suitable pitches include university researchers, clinicians, and credible science communicators with specialized expertise in neuroscience, psychology, language, brain health, or neurological disease; booking difficulty is likely low to medium because the show regularly features accessible subject-matter experts rather than highly prominent public figures.
