This is the first episode of the Podcast we recorded. In it, we learn why "Cool" means what it does. Then we examine how people change their behavior depending on who they interact with, through the lens of accommodation theory.

It's been a minute since we recorded this episode but It's all about language and how that changes the perceptions of the world around us. It involves, some interesting people in Australia and It may give that film Arrival a bit more street cred. Then Cassidy walks us through the mechanics of bee coitus.

 

 

 

The mains article was written by Lera Boroditsky and Alice Gaby, You should really check out more their stuff. and I'm pretty sure this is a link to the article Cassidy was talking about = ) https://ravishly.com/2014/09/23/drone-male-honey-bee-sex-ejaculation-audible-mating-rituals

This episode is all about experience, and how experiences can intensified by sharing them with others. Researchers use double agents and chocolate trickery to give us some answers that explain to find some truth.

*In this episode Cassidy refers to Cold Dips. It's just monthly tradition in which she and some friends submerge themselves in a chili lake in Washington State.

It's kind of insane...One of the simplest elements in the universe could be capable of improving mental health and cutting violent crime in half. It's weird to think of governments putting drugs into our water supply. But, one incredibly effective prescription antipsychotic may also be a trace mineral nutrient most people don't get quite enough of.

 I want to say thanks to the lovely people on KSL who sold me that "self-spooning bed (frame)". You can use the link below to see the Mindfulness Video Cassidy introduced. Also since we only have there's not a Tinder for Lumberjacks there's also more info on the Buckley Log Fest.

In this episode, Cassidy Finds an article that might help explain her obsession with true crime. (FYI This is Actually the fourth episode we recorded and we had a couple of recording issues. So for those with supersonic hearing that's why this episode might sound a bit different.)

Since true crime podcasts are taking over we decided to hop on board (at least for this episode). Wyatt Reviews a study that examines the prevalence of ritual signatures in serial homicides. Then Cassidy lightens things up with some light learning about the sexual and asexual reproductive habits of sand dollars.
