Gay face is a real thing. The science is so fascinating as to why it might exist, and much of the research is meant to help understand the biological impacts of being queer. Today we talk about gay face, do we have it, what does it MEAN to have it and why do so many gay people look the same. The information will likely shock you!

Cults are fascinating but dangerous, so is it time to join a commune? Today we talk about the psychology of cults, and why communes may be a separate helpful way to live together and be better for the environment. The psychology of living lifestyles differently than the nuclear family creates a lot of tension, and the reasons are surprising. Today we break down the psychology, science and history of cults and communes to help you figure out if it is time to join one.
STUDYTIME: Cults - why are they so popular right now?

Saunas or thermotherapy, is a way of making your body SUPER hot in order to feel better and hopefully have a positive physiological response.

STUDYTIME: Are saunas actually good for you?

Can you tell if someone is gay from their voice? There is a lot of new research on the 'gay accent' or 'gay voice' - and why it might be that gay men and gay women speak differently than hetero people. The research is fascinating - so we decided to have our good friend Caleb Marshall (The Fitness Marshall) on to talk about all of our relationships to the gay voice.
