March 04, 2023 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.

February 24, 2023 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.

February 17, 2023 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.

January 27, 2023 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!

January 20, 2023 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.

January 06, 2023 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!

December 21, 2022 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!
