One of my original posts on this site was “The 5 Books for Every Coach”. That then became “5 More Books for Every Coach” and the last in the trilogy, “5 Books for Every Athlete”. A recent trip to North Carolina to instruct a USA Volleyball BCAP course led me to this post. It was after the long (read: very long and wet) session that I was chatting with fellow cadre member (who will remain anonymous *cough* Jon *cough* ) and he mentioned a podcast to me. That got my mind turning. I have never done a “5 Podcasts for Every Coach”. So guess what…Here it is. Just like books, there are a MILLION podcasts out there, so this is obviously a small sampling.

Invisibilia
iTunes:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/invisibilia/id953290300?mt=2
Website: http://www.npr.org/programs/invisibilia/
Description:
Launched in January 2015, Invisibilia (Latin for “all the invisible things”) explores the intangible forces that shape human behavior – things like ideas, beliefs, assumptions and emotions. Co-hosted by NPR’s Lulu Miller and Alix Spiegel, who helped create Radiolab and This American Life, Invisibilia delves into a wide array of human behavior, interweaving narrative storytelling with fascinating new psychological and brain science. Listen and research will come to life in a way that will make you see your own life differently. Produced by NPR News, Invisibilia turns the dry and scholarly into utterly captivating storytelling. In Invisibilia’s pilot season, Spiegel and Miller dig deep into our innermost minds — examining our dark, disturbing thoughts and whether those thoughts say anything about who we are, our fears and how they shape our actions, and our need for belonging and how it shapes our identity and fuels our emotions over a lifetime. They will take you into the real-world consequences of our own expectations — sometimes so powerful that they can overcome physical disability — and test your assumptions that empathy brings people closer together. Along the way, you’ll encounter fascinating individuals, such as the man who has merged with his computer and a woman who physically feels what others feel. Invisibilia is a glimpse into a world you can’t see.
