Podcasts and pop culture phenomena
- A podcast by This American Life, called Serial became a pop culture phenomenon in 2014 and provided a ‘breakout’ moment for the medium, which had already gained a sticky audience over the years.
- This resulted in many new podcasts from established media houses and amateur creators starting to pop up.

The effects of the unlucky charm
Research shows that lucky charms have real, positive effects. But unlucky things have their own kind of power.
The story behind a physical item we own matters
Assigning luck to an object
There are generally three ways we give luck to an object.
- Through association: A penny you had the day you met your partner.
- Through symbolism: Like a sock with four-leaf clovers or black cats printed on them.
- Magical contagion: The idea that there is some essence or physical property that can rub off from contacting it.
Bad associations
According to research, secondhand engagement rings are much less likely to sell if the listing indicated that the previous owner had been through a divorce or a broken engagement. One explanation is that we believe that various properties can be transmitted through contact.
Sometimes, you create the story yourself. The item has to be prominent in the situation. But if the item is branded as unlucky, it's hard to forget the association.

Phone Interviews: A Level Playing Field
In-person interviews tend to focus less on the skills and experience, and more on who is more cordial or great to talk to. It does help build rapport in some cases, but also promotes an invisible bias towards the candidate’s race, gender, class and other factors unrelated to the job performance.
Phone Interviews level the playing field and let both the parties focus on the essential.
Building Rapport During Phone Interviews
A phone interview can also be used to build rapport, but instead of small talk, one can build up on the conversation, avoiding stiff, rehearsed responses to whatever the employer is asking.
If the conversation is genuine, one can easily connect with the employer on a human level.

Introversion is not defined by what it is not
Academics often define introversion by what it is not: extroversion. What everyday introverts think about introversion is not really factored in.
As early as 1980, this problem was identifi...
Four types of introverts
Introverts tend to turn inward rather than outward, but beyond that, it is more complex. There are four types of introverts:
- Social. The preference for solitude or socializing with small groups instead of large ones. It is not the same as shyness.
- Thinking introversion. They don't share the aversion to social events. They do tend to be introspective, thoughtful, and self-reflective.
- Anxious introverts seek solitude because they feel awkward or self-conscious. They tend to ruminate on the things that might or could go terribly wrong.
- Restrained or reserved introverts prefer to think before they speak or act. They might take a while to get going.
Many introverts are a mix of all four types.
