War, Pain and the Super Soldier - a podcast by iHeartRadio

The history of war is filled with examples of soldiers who, in the heat of battle, fail to register the full extent of their injuries.

Join Robert Lamb and Joe McCormick for a discussion that spans the battlefields of human history and future, invoking everything from the bicameral mind to current neuroscience.
