WARNING: This is the season finale!!!!!

Seasons greetings, everyone! Today, we’re discussing a range of topics centered on what’s happened over the past couple of months in domestic U.S. politics. But that’s not all! 

We begin this episode with a brief discussion of sex and healthcare in the U.S. and then transition into what a second (?) Trump presidency will bring, and what this means for all of us panicking for the future. I can’t promise you’ll feel better about the world after listening to this, but I can promise you’ll laugh. 

In any case, thank you for spending this holiday season with me, but most importantly, thank you for being part of this season of Shye's Not Shy.

WARNING: Psych major talking about mental problems? What a shocker!

Have you ever questioned the mental state of humanity or even what seems to be an exponential increase in the number of people with mental health issues? If so, look no further: this episode is for you!

The overarching topic of mental health is a relatively new one, so listen to my perspective on the era of mental illness and what it means for society today.

WARNING: If you don't like jokes about serious topics, you might be in for a rude awakening.

How do mixed-identity relationships work? Do men have roles as fathers? Are women the only ones who can bear the burden of emotional maturity?

Join us as we talk extensively about romantic, platonic, and familial relationships with a splash of modern-day cultural identity issues and chronic online behaviors.

WARNING: Don't be intimidated by big words, you smart cookie!

Enjoy this New Year with me as I review Michael Parenti's book, 'Blackshirts & Reds: Rational Fascism & the Overthrow of Communism'.

If you're like me and are always surprised by the lack of global economic and social history you have, listen as I discuss Parenti's approach to how the introduction of the free market in traditionally thought of communist countries changed everything.

WARNING: Bear with me as I learn how to capture audio better in the future!
