A talk with Polina Vorozheykina, a software engineer based in Portland who is skilled at social deduction games like Secret Hitler, Werewolf/Mafia, Resistance, and Avalon. We do a review of the rules of the game Secret Hitler, and Polina talks about common behaviors/tells that can give away information (e.g., length of time looking at cards; consistency of claims; talkativeness; body language; use of language, and more).

What are polygraphs actually reading? A deep dive into skin conductance.

This is a podcast about deciphering human behavior and understanding why people do the things they do. I, Zach Elwood, talk with people from a wide range of fields about how they make sense of human behavior and psychology. I've talked to jury consultants, interrogation professionals, behavior researchers, sports analysts, professional poker players, to name a few. There are more than 135 episodes, many of them quite good (although some say I'm biased). To learn more, go to PeopleWhoReadPeople.com.
