Podcast Invisibilia Podcast Directory

Invisibilia is a radio program and podcast produced and hosted by Alix Spiegel, Lulu Miller, and Hanna Rosin for National Public Radio. The show began its first season in early 2015, and "explores the intangible forces that shape human behavior—things like ideas, beliefs, assumptions and emotions." The program's title comes from Latin, meaning "all the invisible things".[1] The Guardian ranked Invisibilia among "the 10 best new podcasts of 2015."[2]

Background

Alix Spiegel was a founding producer of This American Life and freelanced for NPR's Science Desk covering psychology and human behavior.[3] At Chicago's Third Coast International Audio Festival, Spiegel met fellow former Radiolab producer Lulu Miller and asked her to produce a piece she was working on. The two began working on radio stories together and conceived of a new long-form radio show that would become Invisibilia. The show's first six-episode season aired from January to February 2015, with excerpts occasionally running on All Things Considered, Morning Edition, Radiolab and This American Life. This extra exposure and Miller and Spiegel's track record helped Invisibilia debut at #1 on the iTunes podcast chart and to maintain a consistent top-ten ranking in the months following its launch.[4] Hanna Rosin from The Atlantic joined as cohost for the second season, which premiered on 17 June 2016.[5][6]
