Secondary School Psychology
It’s a first for the pod this week as we have a guest! We welcome the psychology queen herself Caitlin K to the pod. Caitlin is a secondary school psychology and English teacher, who happens to be Jono’s wife and Bec's best friend. We learn about sleep facts, eyewitness testimony and other fun topics. Bout time someone on the pod knew what they were talking about! Enjoy!

Robbed: women who didn’t get their credit
This week's topic is one that's close to most womens hearts: men taking credit for your work. We look at artists, inventors and scientists who you might not have heard of because some bloke made a whole song and dance about themselves instead.

Pro Wrestling
It’s still real to us! This week Jono shares his vast (and probably useless) knowledge of the world of Pro Wrestling. We talk origins, mega stars, insider terms and we bond over our love of Jeff Hardy & John Cena. An ep for all ages.
