6. Green-eyed Monster

Paris talks to YouTuber Contrapoints about the envy she felt for her as a fellow trans woman in the public eye and we meet someone in a polyamorous relationship who explains how to not feel envious of your partner's other partners. With the help of psychotherapist Rahim Thawer, Paris looks at what makes us envious, how we can recognise it in ourselves and what deeper meaning it reveals about what we want. Why do people feel envious and what is envy telling me about myself?Presented and Written by Paris Lees Produced by Sarah Myles Assistant Producer Hannah Uguru Sound Designed and mixed by Mau Loseto Production Manager Emily Jarvis Executive Producer Rubina Pabani

Om Podcasten

Hosted by Paris Lees, this science and storytelling podcast hears two stories from opposite sides of the coin and uses science to ask questions about elements of the human experience we take for granted. From why we forgive or why we devote ourselves to a cause, to what makes someone family and what a new language can reveal about ourselves. With international stories explored through social science, Paris Lees reflects on what makes us human.
