We&#8217;ve all felt a little spark of satisfaction when someone who wronged us stumbles, or when a rival fails. That feeling has a name: schadenfreude, a German word for the pleasure derived from witnessing the troubles or humiliation of others. In this episode of <a href="https://www.npr.org/podcasts/381443482/two-guys-on-your-head" target="_blank">Two Guys on Your Head</a>, <a href="https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/psychology/faculty/markman" target="_blank">Dr. Art Markman</a>, <a href="https://music.utexas.edu/about/people/duke-robert" target="_blank">Dr. Bob Duke</a>, and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccamcinroy/?originalSubdomain=gr" target="_blank">Rebecca McInroy</a> explore why we experience an emotion most of us would rather not admit to. The surprising answer? Despite our discomfort with it, schadenfreude actually serves a useful purpose.
