This is a first episode about the Israel-Palestine conflict. Our guest, Dr. Steven David is a scholar of international relations and security studies, and he discussed the conflict with us. This conversation largely explores the conflict from an Israeli (specifically a progressive Zionist) perspective. There are many issues we did not discuss, but we will likely explore in future episodes.
Note: The episode was recorded on 1/16/2024, and reflects the information that was available at the time.

Manny and Dylan chat with Dr. David Karp, Professor in the School of Leadership and Education Sciences at the University of San Diego. We talk about the concept of "restorative justice" and how it can be applied specifically to the ongoing problem of sexual misconduct in colleges and universities. We also talk about some of the challenges to scaling up restorative justice, and address some of the reservations people may have about it compared with the mainstream justice system.

As Manny mentioned at the top of our previous episode (#30) featuring Dr. Laura Edwards-Leeper, we continued the conversation a bit to discuss some topics related to gender dysphoric youth, as well as societal attitudes/prejudice towards transgender individuals. Manny and Dylan discuss how we can interpret polling data and what schools should do to support gender diverse students (and their parents).

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Laura Edwards-Leeper, a pioneer in our understanding of youth gender transition. Dr. Edwards-Leeper is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in gender and Professor Emerita of the School of Graduate Psychology at Pacific University in Oregon. She works with gender diverse and transgender children, adolescents and adults. Dr. Edwards-Leeper was a member of the American Psychological Association Task Force that developed practice guidelines for working with trans individuals. She was the past Chair of the Child and Adolescent Committee for the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and was involved in the WPATH Standards of Care (SOC) 8 revision. Dr. Edwards-Leeper is credited as a pioneer in the field of youth gender medicine in the United States, having served as the founding psychologist at the first pediatric gender clinic in the country, at Boston Childrenâs Hospital, which helped bring medical transition options for minors starting in the mid 2000s. We are especially grateful to Laura for her patience with us during a recording mishap.

We're back! We're kicking off a new season of episodes with an interview with Dr. Paul Bloom to discuss his new book Psych. We discuss science communication, the limits and value of psychology, whether researchers should be siloed in academia, the problem with empathy, if kids are little bigots, and if social psychology isn't paying enough attention to policy.

In this episode we talk about Dylanâs newly published study about romantic infidelity in Ashley Madison users. We talk about the ethics of cheating and dishonesty, and whether someone can truly âloveâ their spouse while having sex with another person. We also talk about what it was like to survey Ashley Madison users about their affairs, and whether we can truly trust them.
This will be our last episode for a bit, while we take a Summer travel break. See you in August!

In this episode we spoke with 2 experts on the topics of mental health, mindful self-compassion, and leadership. These are topics that are not only important for peopleâs general well-being, but also for how people function in their workplaces, and in other areas of life. On the research side, we have Dr. Remy Jennings and on the practitioner side, we have Janine Johnston. Dr. Jennings is an Assistant Professor in the College of Business at Florida State University. Janine Johnston is an executive & mindfulness consultant as well as a facilitator, a teacher, and a coach, who specializes in mindful self-compassion.

Dylan and Manny chat with Dr. Chris Ferguson about the âsocial media hypothesisâ of mental health. Dr. Ferguson is a clinical psychologist and professor at Stetson University. His research speciality is in media technology, and has co-written Moral Combat: Why the War on Violent Video Games Is Wrong. We talk about social comparison, suicide, moral panics, the ânocebo effect,â and more. The three of us push back against the popular view that social media use is causing poor mental health, but we remain very open to other viewpoints so feel free to disagree with us!

In this episode, we interview Stanford psychology professor, Dr. Greg Walton. We discuss:
The successful ways that Greg has used "wise interventions" to address social problems like educational inequalities. The importance of social belonging and how feelings of belonging uncertainty can create a downward spiral. Most importantly: Greg's new paper in Science! We focus on what the social belonging intervention is, why it worked, how the effects are influenced by the social context, how universities can learn from the intervention, and how many more students would graduate if the intervention was used at more institutions!Citations:

In this episode of the podcast we take a crash course on transgender identity and terminology, statistics on transition and stigma (and associated mental health issues) within the trans community, transition in adults and kids, gender-affirming care, and the difficulties faced by trans individuals who engage with the medical system to get care. Dr. McLamore is bursting at the seams with knowledge on the topic, so there are more citations than usual.

In this episode, we discuss the high profile case of Steven Robert's mistreatment at Perspective on Psychological Science (PoPS). We recorded an interesting and productive discussion with Steven, but he decided against publication of our conversation with him. We thought this topic was too important to not do an episode on, so we recorded our thoughts on the subject without Steven.
The episode includes: Steven's post-PoPS experiences (that he said we could share with the audience), our thoughts on the 2020 paper, our thoughts on his treatment at PoPS, and finally what we think about the academic critiques he received.

In this episode, Manny and Dylan talk with Dr. Jennifer Harman, Associate Professor of Psychology at Colorado State University. The discussion focuses on the topic of parental alienation, or when one parent turns their children against the other parent. When and why does this happen? What can it do to kids and what can we do about it?

In this episode, Manny and Dylan chat with Dr. Kalynda Smith about her work on body image and health. Dr. Smith presents a nuanced view on this topic. We acknowledge that while obesity is a significant factor in physical health, at the same time we cannot judge peopleâs health just by looking at their bodies. Dr. Smith also advocates for focusing on behaviors such as eating healthy foods and exercise, rather than an oversimplified focus on body weight.

In this episode, we dive into a discussion of anti-racism with Dr. Erec Smith. Dr. Smith is a Professor of English Language, Literacy and Rhetoric at York College of Pennsylvania. He is the author of several books, is a Writing Fellow for Heterodox Academy, and is a co-founder of Free Black Thought. Dr. Smith is an ardent critic of certain ideas relevant to DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and anti-racism that have gained popularity and attention in liberal institutions. We have some spirited exchanges about infantilization and mental health, internalized prejudice, and what effective DEI could look like. Dr. Smith also shared some compelling personal stories about his experiences speaking up against some of the more wacky ideas in his field. Following this conversation, Manny and Dylan debrief and reflect on some of the things we agreed and disagreed about.
