About The Pedantic Podcast
From the publisher's feed
The Pedantic Podcast is blessedly agenda-free and just here for the conversation. Hosted by Dr. Paul Ford, a safety professional with doctorates in psychology and occupational health and safety,…
and Shawn Nilsson, a project manager with a psychology background and a quick wit, this show thrives on curiosity, debate, and the kind of back-and-forth you’d expect from two friends who refuse to keep things shallow.
From breaking down complex scientific and psychological ideas to poking fun at everyday absurdities, nothing is off the table. Some episodes lean heavy, tackling leadership, decision-making, philosophy, and the messy reality of work and life. Others are lighthearted detours meant to entertain, amuse, and maybe even leave you laughing out loud.
At its heart, The Pedantic Podcast is about two sharp minds bringing big (and small) ideas down to earth—sometimes useful, sometimes ridiculous, but always real. If you want a show that feels like a lively conversation you’d never want to leave, hit play and join us.
