All In The Mind
ABC Australia
BBC Radio's long-running broadcast on the mechanics of perception, mental health, and cognitive science.
Why we picked this
We picked All In The Mind because it treats human psychology and neuroscience with rigorous curiosity rather than self-help platitudes. The show balances empirical research with human experience, examining how our brains shape behavior, emotion, and health. Each conversation untangles complex mental processes without watering them down or resorting to pop-psychology trends. We favor feeds that respect the listener's intelligence, and this one delivers steady, well-reported investigations into what it means to think, feel, and function.
