Shankar Vedantam

This week on Hidden Brain, we explore real and fake, from fine art to fine wine. Shankar speaks with Noah Charney, author of The Art of Forgery, about why art forgers are compelled to spend their lives copying the great masters, and why so many of them want to get caught. Also this week: why we love studies that prove wine connoisseurs wrong.

Hidden Brain explores real and fake, discussing art forgery and why forgers want to get caught, as well as why studies debunk wine connoisseurs.
