[Season 2 Finale!] Who doesn’t love a good laugh? If you’re lucky, you laugh so hard you cry, your stomach cramps, you can’t breathe and you hopefully collapse on the floor. Nothing better. Professor Sophie Scott, Director of University College London’s Speech Communication Lab, studies the science of laughter. Occasionally she’ll even use her tight five as a standup to further inform her research on the power and effects of laughter. Not only is laughter fantastic for your mental and physical health, it is also an important social, communication and diplomatic tool (looking at you Bill Clinton). Ever peed your pants from laughing so hard? There's an absurd reason for that. Ali also answers a bunch of listener questions she’s been waiting to dig in to.

If you have questions or guest suggestions, Ali would love to hear from you. Call or text her at (323) 364-6356. Or email go-ask-ali-podcast-at-gmail.com. (No dashes)
