Unhinged History with Tani Caesar

I had the pleasure of interviewing the knowledgable Britt Nicholson also known as @psychwithbritt on tiktok. We spoke about the history of modern psychology as we know it today and the roots of this new science. We touch on freud and some interesting early studies. We also touch on unethical studies done in world war 1 and world war 2. I'd love to encourage you to post below where you live and any free or accessible recourses you know of in your area for people wanting to further their understanding of their own psychology!

In this episode I discuss the history of marketing and advertising dating all the way back to over 6000 years ago. Consumer behaviour is such an important topic for all of us to understand as we all purchase things day in and day out. Consumer behaviour was one of my favourite topics in university and I was wondering when we really started to advertise. Turns out in almost every major civilisation there were forms of marketing.

In this episode I collaborate with the amazing Esme Louise James, a PhD students currently finishing her dissertation and expert in the field of sexuality throughout history. We talk about how historically religion has impacted sexuality and that in some era's we were much more liberal than we are now. We talk about the current trends on tiktok that we are both a part of and some of the interesting nuance that you have as a creator on tiktok. I hope you love my conversation with Esme, it was an absolutely pleasure to interview her and if our audiences want us to do it again, we shall!

Its hard to find commentary just on the history of religion, which is wild because so many wars, marriages, philosophy's and societies happened throughout history due to religious beliefs. In this podcast I aim to give you a 101 breakdown on how we got from one man, jesus, to a 2.3 billion person religion

Please note that I do not discuss the spiritual or faith aspects of christianity in this podcast episode - I simply just state the very basic beliefs. This is because the point of this episode is to look at the history rather than the religion or doctrine. 

In this interview with Australian archeologist Hannah Bosse, we discuss the beginnings of our human species and how long our kind has taken to become what we are today.

In this episode we talk about the Justinian plague, how we actually know about it and where if affected. We also chat about the symptoms and try to imagine what it may have been like with a TMI story about my surgery.  Sources for this episode can be found on episode 1's list

Since you guys sent my tik tok video on 536AD viral this week, I decided it was the first topic I'd podcast about. In this episode we got through the weather events in each place and what we actually have records about. We also touch on what scientific evidence we have to back this all up. We talk a little about why we don't have many indigenous sources and you get to listen to me stammer my way through my first real podcast episode...   Links to Historical sources cited in video so that you can read more: - https://www.science.org/content/article/why-536-was-worst-year-be-alive - https://pure.qub.ac.uk/en/publications/timing-and-climate-forcing-of-volcanic-eruptions-for-the-past-250 - https://celt.ucc.ie/publishd.html - https://books.google.com.au/books?id=gvmFDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA172&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false - https://www.axios.com/the-coronavirus-pandemic-doesnt-make-2020-the-worst-year-ever-97a3557c-1dcd-459f-81d8-53ef1ed4fd2f.html

You guys wanted a podcast - so here you go, this may possibly be the worlds most immature production of a podcast in the entire world but at least its something!
