Can we tell when people are lying? A rebroadcast from 2007
I was searching through my old podcasts and I came up with another one from 2007 that seems to be pertinent to today's world. This one was on liars.
According to a study 50% of people questioned thought they could tell when someone was lying. The data suggested we were not that good at telling when someone was lying to us. Is that true?
This podcast presented some of the reasons why we cannot always tell who is telling the truth or who is lying. I think it is very relevant today! (Source: The Shrink Is In)

Incompetent people are blind to their incompetence - 2007
I originally produced this podcast on why people who are incompetent do not know they are incompetent on August 15, 2007. At the time, I thought the research was very interesting and amusing. Now, with the state of our world, I think the podcast is very relevant and not so funny. The research was actually done in 1999. The researchers were Dr. David Duning and a then graduate student, named Justin Kruger. Interestingly, this concept has been called the Duning-Kruger effect! Below is the reference for the original article. In advance, I apologize for my voice- I must have been sick at the time I recorded the original podcas...
