Our Latest Episodes!

Facts in Mind is a podcast for curious minds—where big ideas meet real-life meaning. We explore topics across science, psychology, technology, education, culture, and public health. Each episode transforms complex concepts into thoughtful, accessible conversations designed to spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and support inclusive learning for all.

The podcast was co-founded by Kimia Grigoriev and Amber Parrow, who met at Harvard Extension School while navigating the demands of work, family, and graduate study. As founding President and Vice President of the Harvard Extension School Psychology Student Club, they built a community rooted in education, empathy, and advocacy.

Now joined by Laura Davidson and Catherine Moya—fellow Harvard students and collaborators—Facts in Mind is growing into a dynamic educational platform. With plans to expand into live events, visual media, and nonprofit programming, our team is building a space where learning is meaningful, engaging, and accessible to everyone.

Whether we’re diving into mental health, AI, grief, language, neurodiversity, or education reform, Facts in Mind brings facts to life—because knowledge belongs to all of us.
