Welcome a Podcast About Self Help Using Memes! We'll cover content like having tough conversations with loved ones or significant others, talking to your boss about a raise, and building social skills. Treating those concepts as memes lets us use Social Science tools to fix them, which is why the podcast is named what it is. The episode descriptions should give you a pretty good idea of what's going to be discussed, but I'd advise you to listen to the first one first, just to understand the intent and format of the overall podcast.
