Perception Gaps

When perception doesn’t line up with reality

Welcome to Season 1 of “Perception Gaps”

I’m Samantha Laine Perfas, the host of “Perception Gaps.” This 10-part season explores different topics in which people's perception, or what they think is true, doesn't actually line up with reality. We call that a perception gap, and our goal is to help highlight these gaps so we can better understand the world around us. Thanks for joining us on this adventure.
