About This Podcast
Ever wondered why social media is so addictive? Or why we can't seem to do anything about climate change? Or why Snoop Dogg is in every commercial ever?
Welcome to Psychology I.R.L, the show where we use the power of psychology to explain the chaos of life in the 21st century!
Each episode involves an accessible deep dive into a particular concept from the history of psychology. Then, we take that concept and use it to explain an aspect of human behaviour in the real world!
From conditioning to conformity, whether you've studied psychology before or don't know your Freud from your Festinger, Psychology I.R.L has something to offer!
tldr: it's psych, irl
This show is written, performed and produced on Noongar Country. I extend my deepest respect to Elders past, present and emerging, and acknowledge the sacred memories, cultures and knowledges they hold. I am honoured to call this Land home, and endeavour to walk alongside my brothers and sisters along the path of Reconciliation.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
