About this episode

Today we’re sharing a preview of A Slight Change of Plans, from Pushkin Industries. Cognitive scientist Dr. Maya Shankar blends compassionate storytelling with the science of human behavior to help us understand who we are and who we become in the face of a big change. Maya sits down with Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves. Kacey has never been willing to change herself or her music for anyone else. But a psychedelic trip allowed her to change on her own terms and inspired her albums Golden Hour and Star-Crossed. Hear more from A Slight Change of Plans at
