A Fish Tale: The Lies That Bind Us

NPR science correspondents Jon Hamilton, Alix Spiegel, and Shankar Vedantam explore age-old questions about lying and truth-telling through the lens of modern science.

Starting with two young boys who made up—what else?—a fish story, they explore deep questions that have troubled philosophers, writers and artists for centuries: Why do we lie? What makes us blind to our own deceptions? And how is it that victims of lies so often become complicit in their own exploitation?
