9 Minutes of Wonder
Hi, I’m Betsy Hedberg. This podcast helps you find wonder in this captivating world and its inhabitants — taking you out of the daily-life grind for at least a few minutes. We explore real-life examples of how things we often take for granted, or never even think about at all, are actually fascinating if we pay attention to them.
Each episode is around 9 minutes or less, but I hope these few minutes will affect how you experience the other minutes and hours of your day. A sense of wonder and awe is good for us, as we already intuitively know and as science is increasingly demonstrating — so please join me!
