A podcast dedicated to discussing "what we talk about when we talk about mind." This podcast is a psycholinguistic research project by Boban Dedović, a former graduate researcher at the University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA. Each 30-60 minute episode features either a guest who may know one or more languages or a thought leader in linguistics, psychology, or another related specialty. The topic of discussion is focused on what kinds of words, phrases, and constructions people use when referring to mental action: for example, thinking, feeling, brain, heart, mind, thought, idea, etc. The purpose of this podcast was originally to share some of the primary source materials for a revised graduate thesis in the fields of Egyptology and psycholinguistics. It has since been continued and its scope revised in order to include interviews from thought leaders, as noted above.
