About this episode

When you are on the phone in a noisy environment, you probably cover your other ear to hear the phone better. Bad idea. This episode reveals a better way to help you hear someone in that situation. https://www.oklahoman.com/article/3206007/strange-but-true-improve-clarity-of-phone-calls

It’s hard to imagine life without the Internet today – still we have lost a lot of things to the Internet. Maps, handwritten letters, the big thick rolodex, even our solitude has disappeared and given way to the digital age. Listen as my guest Pamela Paul reveals many of the ways the Internet has changed our lives and how we spend our time – some good, some not so good. Pamela is editor of The New York Times Book Review, host of their Book Review podcast and author of the book, 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet (https://amzn.to/3ob6M7m).

I am sure you have experienced some medical symptoms and then looked them up online to better understand and perhaps diagnose and treat whatever was wrong. After all there is a lot of helpful health information online that could be useful to you. However, HOW you use that information is really important according to cardiologist Dr. Kapil Parakh author of the book Searching for Health: The Smart Way to Find Information Online (https://amzn.to/3CORNVP). Listen as he offers some great strategies to help you better use the online resources to help you stay healthy.

Your ability to remember someone’s name when you meet them can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. In other words, if you think you are good with names, you probably are. Your belief plus a few other simple strategies can make you much better at remembering names. Listen and I’ll tell you what they are. Source: Scott Hagwood author of Memory Power (https://amzn.to/3H8xBl3).
