The Psychological Power Of Expectations - David Robson - #456
David Robson is an award-winning science writer specialising in the extremes of the human brain, body and behaviour. Our expectations have a profound effect on the outcomes we get in life.

We score an episode from what we can actually measure — its reach and engagement, what listeners say about it, and what it covers. We don't have those signals for this one yet, so it doesn't get a number.
Buzzmeter says it's buzzing across platforms — the Hive Vote says whether the people who actually listened liked it.
