What if the story you've been told about your potential — at your age, in your circumstances, with your history — was simply wrong? The Enhanced Pod is a weekly conversation with the most interesting minds working at the edge of human possibility. Scientists, performers, pioneers and rebels — people who have looked at the conventional story of what a human life can be and quietly refused it. Host Leigh-Ann Paulick brings almost three decades of live broadcast experience to conversations that sit at the intersection of science, performance and the radical refusal to accept inherited limits.
