  • Episode 61: We Need to Talk about Elon Musk

    CW: discussions of sexual assault/harassment

    It's time to talk about Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Twitter. In this episode, I talk about some of his odd ideas, like that the Earth's population is declining too fast, his use of Twitter, and the allegations that he asked a flight attendant to give him an "inappropriate" massage.

  • Mini 14: The Doll Study

    This week's mini-episode is about the famous doll study conducted by Mamie Phipps Clark and her husband, Kenneth Bancroft Clark. In comparison to the other experiments I have covered, this one is so well done and didn't inherently traumatize all the participants! The doll study has been replicated many times over the years, but it's important to see what the original consisted of and how it impacted the field since the 1940s.

  • Episode 60: Digital Literacy and Conspiracy Theories in This Place Rules

    CW: discussions of sexual assault and rape

    This episode was very different from when I first planned it out...It's about the documentary This Place Rules which is on HBO. But after the documentary came out, sexual assault allegations against the creator came to the surface, credible allegations that he has addressed. So I wanted to make sure to address that aspect before I dove into the documentary itself.

  • Episode 58: Relationship Dynamics in The White Lotus Season 1

    This week's episode looks at a few of the interpersonal relationships in the first season of the White Lotus. Massive spoilers for the first season! TLDL: all the relationships end up in the same patterns that they started with before the vacation.

  • Mini 13: Little Albert

    This week's minisode is focused on the classic "Little Albert" experiment....if we can even call it an experiment. Turns out there is almost nothing that can be concluded from this study that has been taught in every Psych 101 course!

  • Episode 57: We Need to Talk about Andrew Tate

    CW: sexual assault, trafficking

    We ended 2022 with a "We Need to Talk about...." episode so it's fitting we start 2023 with one as well! I'm back from hiatus with an episode about the infamous Andrew Tate who is currently awaiting charges related to human trafficking in Romania. This isn't a light episode but it's definitely important to talk about the influence that misogynistic and anti-mental health content can have.

  • Special Crossover Episode: The Cynic's Guide to Hippy Stuff

    This week I am featuring an episode of the podcast The Cynic's Guide to Hippy Sh*t by Rachel Jones-Wild. Rachel is a psychotherapist and mindfulness teacher who explores alternative treatments/philosophies from her cynical perspective. For each show, she interviews someone who is an expert on their respective complementary treatment and asks in-depth questions. In this episode, she explores play and trauma-informed yoga. Since my show is on hiatus, I hope you enjoy this special cross-over episode!

  • Episode 56: We Need to Talk About Ye

    CW: antisemitism, sexual harassment

    It's time for the final episode of 2022! I did a deep dive on Ye and the recent news surrounding his diversion into the alt-right. I talk about bipolar disorder, balancing responsibility between enablers and the enabled, and the role of racism in mental health diagnoses. It's a complicated topic that I hope I did justice to. The show will be on hiatus for the next few weeks, so I'll see you back again in 2023!
