CCATP #725 – Erin Carson on Ear Worms and TikTok

<p>This week our guest is Erin Carson, Senior Writer at CNET. She came on the show to talk to me about ear worms and the effect that TikTok is having on their prevalence. We go over the research she studied on earworms, finding out how long we've known about them, what goes on in our brains when we imagine music and why TikTok might be the perfect vehicle for getting them. We eventually go off the rails and enjoy a delightful conversation about music in her home town of Nashville.</p> <p>If you want to follow along with Erin's work, you can find her on <a href ="https://www.cnet.com/profiles/erin.carson.tr/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cnet.com</a> and you can follow her on Twitter <a href ="https://twitter.com/erincarson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@ErinCarson</a></p>
