Richard Wiseman’s On Your Mind podcast is a guide to the human psyche, explaining how we think, feel and behave.

His books have sold over 3 million copies and his Youtube videos have had over 600 million views.
In his new podcast, Richard is joined by science journalist Marnie Chesterton to answer a thousand questions about the human mind.
These questions come from the public, celebrities and each other and are about everything from laughter, dreaming and luck to sleep, memory and the paranormal.
