In this episode, she shares why oversharing beats staying guarded, why privacy promises make us shy, and… [Listen](https://pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/HS9902447512.mp3) ## Katy Milkman: “Here’s how to make exercise fun” _2026-08-10 · Nudge_ Katy Milkman shares one technique that could keep you exercising for 55% longer. --- Become an FSB member: https://get.fsb.org.uk/nudge/ Unlock the Nudge Vaults: https://www.nudgepodcast.com/vaults Katy’s book: https://amzn.to/3RF63xA Katy’s podcast: https://www.schwab.com/learn/choiceology Katy’s newsletter: https://www.katymilkman.com/newsletter-milkman-delivers Subscribe to my newsletter:… [Listen](https://pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/HS7222819593.mp3) ## Why fear won’t always persuade _2026-08-03 · Nudge_ To persuade someone, most of us are tempted to use fear. We tell clients how much they’ll struggle if they pick a competitor. We tell our kids how they’ll lose TV time if they don’t finish their homework. We plead with our partners to kick bad habits by highlighting how unhealthy it’s making them. We all do it; we opt for doom-and-gloom messages baked in fear. But today's guests on Nudge,… [Listen](https://pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/HS8412893872.mp3) ## How these two marketers manipulate your music taste _2026-07-27 · Nudge_ In a fairly inconspicuous SXSW podcast, two marketers shook the music industry.

When drinkers knew the beer contained vinegar, they hated it. But when the researchers told them “this is our MIT brew," the majority loved it. The study reveals the secrets behind marketing. On today’s episode of Nudge with award-winning science writer David Robson, we explain how good marketing can shape our perception.… [Listen](https://pdst.fm/e/traffic.megaphone.fm/HS9796500972.mp3) ## 88 out of 90 people fall for this bias. Do you? _2026-07-13 · Nudge_ Imagine you’re a chef. You are shown the recipe for a soup. It has five ingredients. You’re told to improve the recipe.

Find out why in today’s episode of Nudge with the award-winning professor Leidy Klotz.
