Birds, small spaces, holes – our phobias don't always have to make sense for them to control our lives. But is there a way to break free from the anxieties we carry with us? 

From a fear of getting pregnant, to deep water, and the thrill of horror movies, our journalists dig down into what terrifies us and why we might sometimes even enjoy scaring ourselves.   

Reporting by Alyssa Herr, Li Yongrong, and Chenlu Chen.

This episode is made in collaboration with All the Best Radio and the Science Gallery Melbourne. Their new exhibition MENTAL: Head Inside is a welcoming place to confront societal bias and stereotypes around mental health. It runs from 20.01.22 -18.06.22
