Behind the Scenes of Choiceology
Just a few short days ago, GAABS welcomed Katy Milkman, host of the popular podcast "Choiceology" for a special webinar. The reason … to take a deep dive into what makes Katy’s podcast, sponsored by Charles Schwab, so impactful – it’s a two-time GAABS award-winner and has won awards for edutainment as well from other organisations.
New GAABS Board Chair, Torben Emmerling interviewed Katie about her approach to science communication, how she balances academic research with public engagement, and the production process behind "Choiceology." They discussed the podcast's successful format of combining storytelling with scientific insights, cultural considerations in content creation, and the challenges of translating academic research into practical applications.
