My friend Michelle Erfurt posted the following on Facebook this week: Kimberly, have you done a blog post listing the podcasts you listen to? If so, will you help me find it?

Music Therapy Bloggers to Watch in 2010

January 21, 2010

Book Review: The Emotional Brain

April 8, 2009

I recently finished reading The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life by Joseph Ledoux. LeDoux is a well known and well respected researcher who specializes in studying, well, emotions. That’s his official specialty. Unofficially, I feel he should also be considered a specialist in taking complex ideas and breaking them down into easy-to-understand […]
