Stories of mere mortals rising above adversity to become mighty. Lives will be in danger, heroes will be born. Plus, what's a comic book without an evil villain?
Sometimes, lying in bed in the dead of night, you may get the sense that you are not alone. You tell yourself, "There's nothing there. There's nothing there." But something shapeless and dark and afraid inside of you knows that somebody, or something...is watching. This week, Snap Judgment travels around the globe to investigate what lies beyond.
Your brain doesn't quite know what's going on, but your body knows that something's up. Your breathing gets shallow. Your palms start to sweat. Do you run--or watch things play out? In this episode, Snap Judgment does both.
Everyone's been there. Standing on the outside, feeling like a fish in an aquarium, looking in at something--whether it's a group of friends, a lifestyle or a job--and thinking, "That right there, that's where I want to be." But in order for them to let you in, they've gotta notice you. Today, Snap Judgment proudly presents stories about people finding unusual ways to break in.
In this technological era, you can live a full life without ever looking away from your computer screen. Talk to friends, read a book, order your groceries, diagnose your abdominal pains...all in a world made of zeroes and ones. And if you know the language--if you're a hacker--then this brave new world is yours for the taking. In this episode, Snap Judgment examines power in cyberspace and the impact it has on relationships in meat space.
The whole range of human experience isn't just cataloged in a library--it actually takes place inside. Roam the stacks with Snap Judgment, and we'll teach you to hypnotize your friends, jump start your career, and stop fanatics from burning your books. For more information visit snapjudgment.org

We are all guilty of restructuring truth, crafting elaborate stories and fantasies to make sense of the worlds we inhabit. On this edition of Snap Judgment, we examine how internal storytelling influences our external reality.
Stories of people who are their own worst enemy. Push through the hallways of a psychiatric ward, obsess over a late night talk radio host and then get ready to run for your life.
Snap Judgment circumnavigates the globe to discover why some people can't go home.

Snap Judgment bumps up against the inexplicable as storytelling with a beat takes a magic ride through India, Morocco, Indonesia, Senegal and the good ol' Midwest.
It's an amazing world. It used to be that whatever life served you, that's what you got. You didn't like your nose, skin, class or gender? Too damn bad. But times have changed. Nothing is fixed. If you don't like what you see in the mirror, start anew. But are there limits? Are there boundaries, internal or external? How much can you really change and how much can you demand the universe change for you?
On this episode of Snap Judgment, we're relying on the kindness of strangers to get us out of the mess we're in. A single individual will hear the call and act. Lives will be saved. Destinies will be altered.
