Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you're there; not in a poetic, existential way, but in a deeply annoying, brain-just-crashed way? This episode starts there and then happily spirals into the many ways our minds glitch, misfire, and occasionally gaslight us for no apparent reason.

We explore a bunch of everyday brain "glitches", not mental illnesses or rare disorders, just extremely common psychological bugs that most of us experience and have collectively decided to ignore. As always, this all comes packaged as comedy commentary with plenty of quirky insights and lighthearted education, including a game segment where we try to figure out which brain glitches are real and which ones are just psychology-flavoured nonsense. The result is a joyful mess of random topics, memory failures, optical illusions, fake disorders, and the comforting realisation that your brain isn't broken, it's just doing what any overworked system does from time to time: glitch.

So the next time you feel like the universe is sending you a sign, maybe pause for a second. It's probably just your brain rebooting mid-task, and honestly, that's way less scary.

Don't Know, Do Care is the brainchild of Ashmita, Sandy, and Prakhar, three friends from different backgrounds and interests. Ashmita works in sustainability, Sandy's an entrepreneur (puke) who'd rather not be, and Prakhar works with Sandy and is just trying to make sense of it all.

Three mildly confused friends, one weirdly specific topic each week. We don't know much, but we care just enough to talk about it for up to an hour each week.

Don't Know, Do Care is produced by "Ghar Pe Productions", edited by Prakhar and Sandy, critiqued (thoroughly) by Ashmita, and enjoyed mostly by our friends. Thanks for giving us a listen!
