From The Happiness Lab: The Joy of Being a Fan
Listen now
Description
Here's a preview from another Pushkin show, The Happiness Lab. Have you ever really loved a book series, a boyband, a TV show, or a celebrity? We're often too embarrassed to admit adoring some things for fear that we'll be seen as frivolous or childish - but we may be missing out on the happiness benefits that geeking out can bring. Dr. Laurie Santos explores the joy of fandom with Benedict Cumberbatch obsessive Tabitha Carvan, YA author Jennifer Lynn Barnes and Star Trek actor (and geek-vangelist) Wil Wheaton.
