Why do athletes choke under pressure?

The siren has sounded. The scores are even. A footy player has one final chance to kick an easy goal to get his team into the finals. He’s right in front of the goals. He lines up. Kicks. Misses. The pressure of such a moment was phenomenal, and the player choked under it. So what happens in the brain during such intense periods? Why can some people remain calm while others can’t handle it?

Conspiracies: why people change their mind

What if your entire understanding of the world — your beliefs, how you parent, how you work, how you interact with friends at the pub — all came crashing down?

Today on All in the Mind: falling into and out of conspiracy ... and rebuilding your life after breaking free.

Dark tourism + selfie sticks = moral outrage

Since the days of gladiator battles and public hangings, dark tourism — our attraction to places linked to death and despair — has been a part of human behaviour. But there's something in the 21st century that's causing debate… Selfies. Digital media isn't all bad though. It's also creating opportunities for authentic storytelling. Today, we examine what dark tourism is, if it's ethical, and when it is (and isn't) appropriate to snap a selfie.

Can music inspire mania?

Long before Bieber fever and Swifties, there was Lisztomania. Franz Liszt was a Hungarian composer who inspired such intense fandom and frenzy that it was dubbed mania. So, was it true mania?
