Sot: What would you say time of year, as a culture, people scream the most? Do you think it's in the summer when people are getting squirted with water guns? Is it during haunted house season? Is it when they get their bills after the holidays? When do we screaming the most? That is very interesting. I don't think i've ever had that question, but i would say people in general, you probably hear more screams outside in the summer. And they come mostly from children because theyare at swimming pools and playgrounds,. And as any parent and most adults, can appreciate. Get them together.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for… a brand new, screaming hot episode of Ologies. Be warned *slaps the top of this ep* you can fit so many screams in this bad boy. (Seriously though, there’s a lot of screaming in this episode, it’s probably not the one to gently fall asleep to.) What kinds of screams you ask? We got birds, foxes, caterpillars, movie stars, children, James Bond? YES. What is a scream? Is it the same as yelling? How far can you hear a scream? Why do we scream at concerts? What’s up with primal scream therapy? Join us as we hoot and holler with internationally acclaimed Emory professor of psychology Dr. Harold Gouzoules for the answers to these and so many more of your questions as we learn about the study of that most animal of vocalizations: screaming.
