How Do Our Brains Process Stories?: 'BrainsOn!' Has Some Answers!

<p>How do our brains process the stories we hear?  What happens when we are introduced to new characters? Our friends from the podcast "Brains On!" help us figure it out! </p>

Created and produced by parents of young children, WBUR's Circle Round adapts carefully-selected folktales from around the world into sound- and music-rich radio plays for kids ages 4 to 10. Each 10- to 20-minute episode explores important issues like kindness, persistence and generosity. And each episode ends with an activity that inspires a deeper conversation between children and grown-ups.
