Episode 2: What Is Travel Psychology?

Season 1 · Episode 2

Thursday, July 30, 2026 • Duration 54:09

Is “travel psychology” a real thing? How have our definitions of where we’re from changed over history? What do highways, our passports, and the lines and lounges in an airport reveal about travel and movement in the modern world? And what happens when we shift from viewing humans as fixed in place to constantly in motion?

Erratic
By Tim Cresswell

Sitting there for all the world
as if you owned the place.
An error. Bluestone among
chalk. Wanderer. Heretic.
Stowaway, suspended as the world
warmed leaving you upended –
culture-shocked and supersized.
Your crystals milky,
opaque, glittering.
Brimming with another kind of
winter. Fire and freeze. Ten
thousand years of exile –
now part of the scenery.

Season 1 · Episode 1

Thursday, July 23, 2026 • Duration 42:17

Why did we choose this strange, fragmented novel for the summer book club? What do we know about its author, Olga Tokarczuk? And what are some “reading maps” we can use to start finding our way in this very different kind of story?

Trailer: Behavioral Scientist Reads ‘Flights’

Thursday, July 16, 2026 • Duration 02:25

Introducing Behavioral Scientist Reads, the podcast that explores what it means to be human through conversations at the intersection of science and culture, and books that illuminate who we are and who we can become.

This summer, we’re reading Flights by Polish author Olga Tokarczuk, the recipient of the 2018 Nobel Prize in literature.

Flights explores the human impulse toward movement—the perpetual tension between traveling somewhere new or staying put. At times playful and surprising, at others morbid and mysterious, Flights offers us a chance to explore our own journeys—through space and time, in our minds, and over the course of our lives.

New this year, the Book Club will include:

A five-part podcast exploring themes from the book with guest experts
Collaborative memory map of the places and travels that have changed us
Live and asynchronous group discussions
