This week, Anna and Bonnie dive into the weird world of ECT, AKA electro-convulsive therapy, AKA shock therapy. This includes the wild history of this particular treatment, how it looks nowadays, and all the stigma surrounding it (including some stigma and devil's-advocating from the gals themselves). You might need your tin foil hat for this one, but we're not sure how that will affect the electrical current...

Do you know what mirror neurons are? Neither do Bonnie and Anna, but they’re sure talking about that this week! The gals go on a highly-disclaimered adventure into mirror neurons, which may or may not exist and which have a ton of possible reasons for maybe existing. Remember, neither of the hosts are neuroscientists — or are they?

Bonnie and Anna are FINALLY done talking about Erik Erikson and his psychosocial stages! In their final episode of their longest topic series ever, they talk about middle and later adulthood and elderhood. So whip up an Old Fashioned like the gals are drinking, get comfortable, and turn up your hearing aids to take a listen!

Featuring a really big package (of career, romance, and kids)! Listen as Bonnie and Anna talk EVEN MORE about Erikson’s psychosocial stages of lifespan and identity development. This week, they’re chatting about late adolescence and early adulthood. Grab something to sip as the gals start their descent toward the end of their psychosocial series!

Get ready for Anna and Bonnie getting pretty tipsy, going on side tangents, and talking about more Erikson psychosocial stages. This week’s topics are middle childhood and early adolescence, everything from friendships to puberty! (Note: No cars were harmed in the making of this episode, Anna just thought the title was funny.)

Anna is sick and no one is drunk, so this episode has some weird energy! In part two of the gals’ series on psychosocial stages, Anna talks about toddlerhood (AKA tiny drunk people), and Bonnie tells us about the early childhood stage, which she is qualified to talk about because she taught kindergarten one time.

It’s time for a series! In part one, Anna talks about Erik Erikson’s life, how he got into psychology, and even his name. Then the gals chat about Erik’s theory of psychosocial stages of development, starting with Bonnie talking about the first stage: infancy!

This week, Anna and Bonnie are talking about hypnosis! They chat about how hypnotizable people are, how hypnosis got its start, and how being hypnotized is sort of like meditating… or dissociating. Get your wine (or if you’re like Anna, your tin foil hat) ready and join us for a listen!

Or, Wacky Experiments Volume I, where the gals discuss experiments with questionable ethics. This time, Bonnie talks about the Milgram shock experiment, and Anna tells the story of the Stanford prison experiment. Would YOU shock a man to death in a Burger King basement? Answer our newspaper ad if the answer is yes!

It’s Mother’s Day, and Daughter Host won’t let Mom Host forget it. Grab something to sip and listen as the gals chat about Alfred Adler, a prominent theorist who came up with ideas about inferiority complexes, overcompensation, and birth order. Your drink doesn’t have to be as spicy as their themed drink, but that might help!
