It was a surprise to me to learn that our senses interact with each other a lot more than I thought to give our perception of the world around us and in particular the things we eat and drink. So many fascinating examples and intriguing research conducted in this area.

See Jono's sketch of Crossmodal Perception here.

We also mentioned Jono's proprioception sketch.

Here's the YouTube video of the McGurk Effect.

And here's that silly but quite funny police dashcam video of the driver getting caught out being drunk. We do not condone this behaviour.

Any specific examples of crossmodal perception that you're aware of? We'd love to hear from you. Let us know at [email protected] or by leaving comments and messages for this episode on Instagram or Twitter.

When it comes to the crunch, if there's something important at stake we'd all be tempted to consider gaming the system to hit our targets, wouldn't we?

We explore the phenomenon of Goodhart's Law; which says that as soon as a measure of something becomes a target determining success or failure, it ceases to be a good measure of performance - because there's a high chance we'll find cheeky ways to get there... won't we?

See Jono's sketch of Goodhart's Law here.

Jono mentions his sketch covering The Cobra Effect.

We discuss that in order to be powerful and in control of a situation, it first helps to be accountable.

Behaviours like blame, or making excuses only leave you with a victim mindset - which isn't usually very productive.

When is the best time to start something you know you want to do, but might have been putting off for a while?

The best answer to that is possibly; Now. Like, right now!

But if you need a bit more of a kick to get going, why not tie it in with the start of something else? Like the start of the day, or the start of the week, or the month or the year?

Jono references a different sketch in the podcast about 9-enders ; which I love.
