It’s game night at Mindy’s gingerbread mansion, and a rip roaring round of “What’s that Sound” is on the menu. All goes well until Guy Raz begs to end the game as the “sounds” are more than his ears can handle! Why is it that certain sounds cause some people’s brains to go bonkerballs? It’s the Who, What, When, Where, Why, How, and Wow in the world of Misophonia! (Originally aired 12/21/20)
