The Feelings Lab

This week on The Feelings Lab, we're discussing embarrassment!

Returning hosts Dr. Alan Cowen, Dr. Dacher Keltner, and Matt Forte will

be joined by guest host Dr. Jessica Tracy (Director of the Emotion and Self Lab at the University of British Columbia) and special guest, comedian Ali Kolbert (as seen on The Tonight Show).

In this episode, we learn about the surprisingly vital role of embarrassment in our social lives. It’s a signal of appeasement that defuses tension, makes us more likable, and helps build our relationships. AND, our dogs may not really feel shame when they break out that “sulky” look that owners know too well - they might just see that it appeases their favorite humans, and keeps the treats coming!

The Feelings Lab is a new podcast series from Hume AI. Grab a friend and set out on a journey with our expert hosts and celebrity guests as we explore the new frontier of emotion science and its lessons for creating a more empathic future.
