The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case has cast a light on domestic violence issues, raising the awareness that high profile and powerful people men too can be a victim to abuse.

Gitta Hodgetts is a youtuber and social commentator who uses her channel to spread awareness of men's rights but also explore real world topics like depression and mental health!

Keep my wife's name out your Motherfu**in mouth! - By W.Smith!

Rita and I go on a little journey looking at the recent Will Smith Slap of Chris Rock. Was it called for or uncalled for!?

Did Will Smith go too far in the his 'fierce defence of his family' or does his action make him come off as an emasculated entangled man!

WAR!! What is it good for!? Absolutely nothing!

Join Rita and I as we explore what is happening in the current war between Russia and Ukraine. This is not meant to educate, inform and definitely not intended to offend! We're just two randoms who have uninformed opinions on this current event! :P

Don't take what we have said as facts.

Why do we judge ourselves by our intentions but judge others by their actions?

Are humans naturally wired to see the negatives in the actions of others or do we somehow demonstrate our cognitive bias towards our own actions by justifying them with our intentions?

Ashlea and I once again explore this topic in the only way we know how...by talking in circles and getting no know haha!

Ashlea is back by popular demand! In this second episode we discuss the 'Body positivity movement' and how it has changed the way bodies are viewed, accepted and criticised. We talk about how social media has skewed the perception of what is healthy, beautiful and ideal. We explore issues of beauty standards within the modern world and then wander off to discuss mukbangs, eating disorders and heaven knows what else! Hope you enjoy!

Body positivity is a social movement focused on the acceptance of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities, while challenging present-day beauty standards as an undesirable social construct. Proponents focus on the appreciation of the functionality and health of the human body, instead of its physiological appearance.

In this first episode of Long Form, I have the privilege of hosting Ashlea!

Ashlea is a colleague of mine at work with a real interest in human psychology. We often spend countless hours discussing different facets of human psyche, human behavior and try to understand why people do what they do! This is especially pertinent given our work within the criminal justice system!

One of the greatest philosophers of our time, Bertrand Russell, has defined true altruism as ‘acts which promote, directly or indirectly, the well-being of other people'.

In this episode, Ashlea and I delve into what altruism looks like for us and share some of our views about how the rise of social media has perhaps altered intrinsic altruistic behaviors. Oh and we really went off the rail on this episode! ;)
