Hidden Brain Live: Shankar Vedantam Tickets

Hidden Brain Live brings Shankar Vedantam, host of the award-winning Hidden Brain, to stages across the United States. This is a non-musical, science-informed talk show blending storytelling, research, and audience participation. Vedantam, a former NPR social science correspondent and executive editor of Hidden Brain, explores how human behavior shapes our decisions. Between thoughtful narration and real-time audience engagement, attendees gain fresh perspectives on everyday life.

Vedantam is the author of The Hidden Brain (2010) and Useful Delusions (2021), and the project has earned recognition including a 2017 Webby Award and multiple honors from organizations such as AAAS and SPJ. The live format emphasizes accessible science communication, clear storytelling, and meaningful conversation rather than traditional music performances.
