In 2025, “science tells us” isn’t just a statement - it’s a sales pitch, a power play, and a psychological Jedi mind trick all rolled into one. People don’t say it to invite a conversation - they say it to end one. Not to explore complexity, but to shut it down. Not to illuminate truth, but to wear a lab coat of credibility while peddling ideology, influence, or overpriced wellness shakes. I love this topic, so I decided to riff on it for you. Enjoy.

Caleb Warren is a Professor of Marketing at the University of Arizona and this was a fun chat about what makes something or someone cool, and how coolness intersects with branding, marketing, popularity, humour, culture, social desirability and more. Enjoy.

Dr. Catherine Houlihan is a Clinical Psychologist, Senior Lecturer at the University of the Sunshine Coast and the Clinic Director at the UniSC Psychology Clinic. Her area of expertise is treating and researching eating disorders and body image concerns and this was a relevant (for many), meaningful and insightful conversation. There's also one anonymous ex-fat kid who found it particularly interesting. Enjoy.

Well, the whole title is "I HATE MYSELF: Overcome Self-Loathing and Realise Why You're Wrong About You." This was great chat with someone who is truly a world-renowned expert and pioneer in their field. I loved it a lot. As did Tiff. *Bio: Blaise Aguirre, MD, is a child and adolescent psychiatrist.
