      • Have you been zombified?

        Is something taking over your brain? Zombified is a new podcast about how we are vulnerable to being hijacked by things that are not us. From microbes hijacking behavior, to humans influencing each other, to our brains being taken over by social media, we talk about why zombification happens, why we are susceptible to it, and what we can do about it.

      • Provocative, erudite, and sometimes hysterically funny, this podcast marries impeccable science with creative out of the box thinking.

        -Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, NY Times bestselling author of Zoobiquity, Professor at UCLA and Harvard

        Terrific podcasts—stimulating, intellectually broad, provides entirely novel perspectives.

        -David Buss, bestselling author of The Evolution of Desire, Professor at UT Austin

        A great listen - intriguing, relatable and so true! You will learn a lot about your world and yourself.

        -Pauline Davies, award-winning radio broadcaster, host and producer for BBC World Service, Professor at ASU

        Your co-host, Dave Lundberg-Kenrick, is a filmmaker, media specialist and zombie movie enthusiast. Dave is also part of the Psychology Department at ASU, but his official title is so long and convoluted that he can't even remember what it is.

        The Puppypocalypse

        Do puppies zombify us with their cuteness?

        If you have a dog, then yes, you are zombified by your dog. This episode, we hear from dog expert Clive Wynne about where dogs come from, how they tap into our attachment systems and why puppies are so damn cute.

        The mindfulness cure

        Are you zombified by stress?

        If you're zombified by stress, this episode is definitely for you. We talk with stress and mindfulness expert Mary Davis about how stress changes the way we think and makes us more vulnerable to being manipulated. Mary also gives us a crash course in how to use mindfulness practice to counteract the mind-less-ness of being a stressed out zombie.

        Stress zombies

        Is witchcraft for real?

        In this episode, Anthropologist Mark Flinn explains how witchcraft works and how manipulation of the stress system is key to its effectiveness. Mark admits to being a witch himself (albeit a good one) and describes how our mental health and physical health is intimately tied to our social relationships - and how witchcraft works by breaking down trust and raising anxiety.

        The zombie diet

        What do zombies eat?

        If you’re worried that you’ve been zombified by your diet, listen on! In this episode, nutritionist and ASU professor Corrie Whisner talks about food, diet and the nutritional needs of zombies. How does our relationship with food relate to our personal autonomy? How can we tell fact from fad in the diet industry? How many calories are in a brain? All your zombie diet questions, all answered here.

        Monster algorithms

        What do algorithms want? (hint: your brains)

        Ed Finn knows what algorithms want: brains. In this episode we explore how technology has been changing our capacity for autonomous action, how monsters are more than just a metaphor for our relationship with technology and how algorithms deployed by powerful tech companies zombify us. Hold on to your brains for this one.

        Zombie friends

        Do your friends control you? Is that even a bad thing?

        Your friends have your best interests at heart. Don't they? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. In this episode, friend expert Jaimie Krems talks about the good and the bad of friends influencing our behavior. She also offers some tips on dealing with controlling friends without getting zombified.
