    Episode 35 - Sex Muisings with Dr. Amy Muise

    In this episode we were joined by Dr. Amy Muise to discuss sex: how couples navigate different sexual desires in relationships, how cuddling improves sexual satisfaction, how much sex is enough sex, and sex in consensual nonmonogamy relationships. We also discuss Amy's recent debunk of "love languages."

    Episode 30 - Helping Young People Who Experience Gender Dysphoria with Dr. Laura Edwards-Leeper

    In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Laura Edwards-Leeper, a pioneer in our understanding of youth gender transition. Dr. Edwards-Leeper is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in gender and Professor Emerita of the School of Graduate Psychology at Pacific University in Oregon. She works with gender diverse and transgender children, adolescents and adults. Dr. Edwards-Leeper was a member of the American Psychological Association Task Force that developed practice guidelines for working with trans individuals. She was the past Chair of the Child and Adolescent Committee for the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and was involved in the WPATH Standards of Care (SOC) 8 revision. Dr. Edwards-Leeper is credited as a pioneer in the field of youth gender medicine in the United States, having served as the founding psychologist at the first pediatric gender clinic in the country, at Boston Children’s Hospital, which helped bring medical transition options for minors starting in the mid 2000s. We are especially grateful to Laura for her patience with us during a recording mishap.

    Episode 29 - Psychology’s Greatest Hits with Paul Bloom

    We're back! We're kicking off a new season of episodes with an interview with Dr. Paul Bloom to discuss his new book Psych. We discuss science communication, the limits and value of psychology, whether researchers should be siloed in academia, the problem with empathy, if kids are little bigots, and if social psychology isn't paying enough attention to policy. Psych: The Story of The Human Mind Paul’s webpage (with links to other books), Substack “Small Potatoes” and Twitter Research cited by Kiley Hamlin and Karen Wynn:  Hamlin, J. K., & Wynn, K. (2011).
