  • The invisible work of being a daughter, with Allison Alford, PhD

    The invisible work of being a daughter, with Allison Alford, PhD
    Feb 4 2026
    For many women, being a daughter is not just a family role – it’s a lifelong job. Dr. Allison Alford discusses what she calls “daughtering”: the work of managing family dynamics, from coordinating schedules to soothing emotions to worrying about a parent’s future. She discusses why these expectations fall on daughters; why the work often goes unrecognized; the role of birth order and “eldest daughter syndrome”; and how daughters and families can rethink their roles to make them sustainable and fulfilling for everyone.

  • When your “mind’s eye” is blank: Understanding aphantasia, with Joel Pearson, PhD

    When your “mind’s eye” is blank: Understanding aphantasia, with Joel Pearson, PhD
    Jan 28 2026
    People with aphantasia can’t visualize images in their mind’s eye. Ask them to picture an apple and they see a blank screen. Aphantasia researcher Joel Pearson, PhD, discusses how scientists are developing new methods to measure aphantasia beyond self-reports; how aphantasia may affect people’s memory and emotions; the link between aphantasia and creativity; the opposite condition of hyperphantasia, or extraordinarily vivid mental imagery; and what these differences in our internal mental experiences can teach us about consciousness and neurodiversity.

    Inside the social minds -- and amazing memories -- of chimps and bonobos, with Laura Simone Lewis, PhD
    Jan 21 2026
    Most of us could look at a decades-old yearbook and recognize many of the faces of our former classmates -- but humans aren't the only ones with this remarkable ability. Laura Simone Lewis, PhD, of the University of California, Santa Barbara, discusses her research on the long-term social memories of chimpanzees and bonobos, including a bonobo who remembered family members after 26 years apart. She explains how these great apes navigate their social worlds and what they can teach us about the evolution of our own social cognition. Learn more about your ad choices.

And a world filled with tons of bad advice tik toks and fluff articles. this podcast is a shining beacon of actual knowledge. I've been an avid fan of psychology for 17 years and I wish something this good existed when I was a teenager.

The host does a great job of asking the questions you would want answers to. And they have such a wonderfully wide variety of guests that I've learned about things I didn't even know to ask questions about. If you are a fan of psychology, actual data, or just want to know more about why you do what you do, and how to proceed in the world and know everyone better. Then this is a must listen podcast!

I absolutely love this podcast and listen every week. They present the latest research on so many topics, from how to build successful teams to getting along with your siblings to leading a meaningful life and a million other topics explaining why we do the things we do. The best part is that every episode is based on actual science instead of most other podcasts that are just two people giving their personal opinions. Worth a listen! There’s definitely an episode about something you’ve wondered about in your life…

LOVE THIS PODCAST!!!!
