Topical Currents

The Superhuman Mind: Free the Genius in Your Brain

09/02/15 - On Wednesday’s Topical Currents we dissect many abilities of seemingly ordinary people, who’ve developed extraordinary talents. 

 An innate aptitude may lie dormant in many of us. Memory champs, human echo-locators, musical virtuosi and math whizzes have practiced, suffered injury or may have a brain disorder. We’ll speak with Berit Brogaard, the author of THE SUPERHUMAN MIND: Free the Genius in Your Brain. . . Wednesday at one o’clock.

WLRN Radio's Joseph Cooper says producing and hosting Topical Currents is the most rewarding experience of his long radio career, which began at the University of Missouri School of Journalism in the 1970s.
Richard Ives came to WLRN in September 2000 to begin a new career in radio. Born in Fort Lauderdale, his family moved to Long Island, New York, where he grew up. After graduation from college and an unsatisfying stint in a job that, as he puts it, "paid the bills but for which I had no passion" he found himself contemplating a midlife career change after being laid-off.
