We like to think the decisions we make are rational and clearly explanatory. But research shows that our brains are often influenced by associations and interpretations of which we are not consciously aware. We look at the hidden psychology that impacts our daily decisions about politics, values, work concerns, and more.

They're big, beautiful, and fast. But a tragic death at this year's Kentucky Derby has reignited concerns about the breeding of big-time racehorses. Some say breeders are emphasizing speed more than sturdiness. But others say the issue is more complex than the deaths of horses like Eight Belles and Barbaro suggest. Join Kojo as we explore this debate and how local horse breeders are responding.
