Make invisible visible

If you've ever wondered what quietly shapes the way we think, feel and act, Invisibilia is an NPR podcast that deserves a spot on your playlist. The title literally means 'invisible things', and the show lives up to that promise, exploring the unseen forces behind human behaviour, from beliefs and assumptions to memory and empathy.

Hosted by Yowei Shaw and Kia Miakka Natisse, Invisibilia blends compelling storytelling with psychology and neuroscience, making abstract ideas feel tangible. In the episode Therapy Ghostbusters, author of the 2022 memoir, What My Bones Know, Stephanie Foo revisits her Cambodian roots after 15 years to examine how trauma can ripple across generations in immigrant communities in California, and discovers pathways to healing.

It's a story that's as human as it is eye-opening, reminding listeners that our behaviours are often shaped by forces we barely see.


What makes Invisibilia stand out is its ability to illuminate invisible forces without feeling heavy-handed. Whether you are a psychology buff, a storytelling enthusiast or simply curious about what drives people, Invisibilia is a must-listen.
