You're Getting Very Sleepy
On The Gist, a top Armenian comic joins us to discuss if Azubaijan is even a country. Then, Mike asks Maria Konnikova of the New Yorker about the health benefits of hypnosis for a game we call "Is That Bulls--t?" She's the author of The Confidence Game: Why We Fall for It ...
