Episode 13 of our book read/podcast covering every chapter in an open source textbook to act as a free supplement to social psychology topics and concepts. In this episode we are jumping to chapter 10 to discuss GROUP PROCESSES and identity in cults with special guest Jordan Jones. We posit questions such as what is a cult? What are the characteristics of a cult? Are you in a cult? Is the university alumni association a cult? Ok, we can probably say that the last question is a No, but how can you tell? In the end we discuss the BITE model and end up asking the question “Were our former retail jobs cults?”

Episode 115: Pseudo-Stuff: Slow Science and Quick B.S.
Psychosocial Distancing
02/02/23 • 70 min
Episode 115 of our book read/podcast covering major topics in various fields of psychology moves us into a continuation of the Year of Clickbait with PSEUDOSCIENCE! This Spring we are going to be talking about pseudoscience. Who believes it? Why do they believe it? Is there a kernel of truth to some of the pseudoscientific beliefs people have? And more...
In this episode Daniel and Thomas introduce pseudoscience and get back into their groove after a bumpy Fall semester. We discuss what exactly pseudoscience is, set up the ground rules for this semester, and compare what pseudoscientists do to what scientists do. We also scrap the bias of the week to talk about some of the questions people have for psychologists online and the answers “totally real psychologists” offer them.
Warning: This episode contains some graphic information and all season we will be talking about some less than savory topics.

Do you turn your back on it all together? Do you twist it to stay in the spotlight? Do you have the drive to move further into the celebrity sphere?
