    OxPod #2: Luther R (BA Experimental Psychology, St. Catherine's College)

    Luther joins Rick once again to discuss psychology, meditation, and the connection between professional c-sections and that one scene from the movie Alien. The audio quality has been upped on my end, hopefully it makes for a more enjoyable listening experience. You can find Luther under the name: @luthersonline on Instagram and Youtube. Mentioned during the show was a 6-month free student subscription to the Waking Up meditation app. Find it here: https://app.wakingup.com/scholarship?options=1
