77. How Can You Avoid Boredom?

The hosts of No Stupid Questions discuss two deceptively simple questions: How can you avoid boredom? and Are we any better at assessing COVID risk? Originally aired in late 2021, this episode touches on the psychology of boredom during lockdowns and how people’s ability to judge pandemic risks has evolved (or not).
