  • Summary

  • Radiant Minds: The World of Oliver Sacks investigates consciousness, the brain, and the human experience, drawing inspiration from works by the neurologist and beloved author Oliver Sacks. Oliver cared for people with misunderstood neurological conditions at a time when many in the medical community had turned their backs on them.

    Radiant Minds expands upon his work and harnesses the emotional power of some of his greatest stories to address broader themes of neurodiversity, identity, and individuality. Each installment of this show introduces listeners to a world of scientific wonder: stories of incredible resilience in the face of life-altering neurological conditions and the powers of the human brain we often take for granted. You'll hear from some of his patients, as well as scientists, and artists whose insights will invite you to think about your own brain with a newfound sense of respect. Every second awaits discovery, much like Oliver's own life.

Made with love

A thoroughly enjoyable listen which peeks into what we know about brains through the prism of Oliver Sacks. Clearly the host has passion and affinity for the content and it's been very well put together.

Ruined by an Irritating Narrator

Ruined by an extremely irritating, self-obsessed and pantomime performing narrator. It’s not supposed to be be about you the narrator but about the subject matter. Why are these people chosen? Utterly appalling and stinks of nepotism!
