Choice -

A brilliant & funny radio show that discusses the benefits of choosing not to choose in the face of overwhelming variety, in order to not overwhelm the brain....
Which basically can only handle 7 variables at a time.

The best part is the sound effect of an evil voice saying, "CAAAAAAAAAAKE!"
... and the part about the watermelon with an anus.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and… and… how the heck did you decide which one take? This hour, we explore Choice. Why do some people seem better at making decisions than others? Should you listen to your head or your heart? We turn up the volume on the voices in our heads and try to make sense of the babble. Forget free will, some important decisions could come down to a steaming cup of coffee.
