    A Little History of Psychology | Author Interview with Nicky Hayes

    🎙 A Little History of Psychology with Dr. Nikki Hayes Ready to dive into the fascinating world of psychology? In this episode, we chat with Dr. Nikki Hayes, a rockstar in the field of psychology and the author of the brilliant book A Little History of Psychology. She's written 25+ books, and she's here to share her knowledge with us on the wild, weird, and wonderful journey of psychology through the ages. 💡 What You’ll Learn: Why psychology didn’t start with Freud (sorry, Sigmund). The crazy story of Phineas Gage—a guy who survived a rod going through his brain and lived to tell the tale. How ancient Greek ideas still mislead us today (spoiler: you have more than 5 senses). The secret power of Japanese psychology and what Western psych got wrong about "achievement." Women in psychology: the unsung heroines behind groundbreaking experiments. 🧠 Key Takeaways: Psychology is a team sport—no single “founding father” here! Freud, William James, Wilhelm Wundt, and others all played their part. Phineas Gage taught us that personality and brain function are deeply linked, despite all the myths about his post-accident life. Global psychology is the future: From Japan to Africa, diverse perspectives are shaking up Western-centric ideas. 📚 About Dr. Nikki Hayes: Dr. Hayes is not just an author; she’s a truth-teller. Her work highlights forgotten pioneers and busts myths about psychology’s history. And she doesn’t shy away from tough topics like colonialism, sexism, and ethics (we see you, shady CIA experiments!). ✨ Fun Facts: Did you know Japanese industry is a powerhouse of psychological principles? Mind-blowing, right? 🎧 Why Listen? If you love history and psychology—and want to impress your friends with cool facts about why you have 40+ senses—this episode is for you. Plus, Dr. Hayes' playful anecdotes will leave you pondering the quirks of the human mind. 🔗 Links & Resources: Get your hands on A Little History of Psychology Follow Dr. Nikki Hayes ______________________________________ 🤩App Info🤩 📚Resources can be found here!📚 ______________________________________ Want more For the Love of History?

    Archive Ep | The Egyptian God of Baby Gravy and Sweat

    Welcome, history besties and chaos goblins, to a special archived episode of For the Love of History—and trust me, this one is iconic. 🐊 We're diving into the wild world of ancient Egyptian mythology and uncovering the bizarre, beefy, and downright sweaty cult of Sobek, the alligator god. Yes, you read that right—SWEATY alligator god. Prepare to meet the god of crocodiles, sweat, and... baby-gravy (if you know, you know). In this episode, we explore Sobek’s mysterious origins, his role as Egypt’s "Lord of Love Juice," and how he became the ultimate fertility and protection deity. From his sweat allegedly creating the Nile River to his hybridized love child with Horus, Sobek’s mythology is packed with unexpected twists, bodily fluids 😳, and a whole lot of crocodile chaos. 🐊💦 You’ll also hear about Sobek's rise to power during the 12th Dynasty, his reign as a croc-loving deity, and how his popularity surged even further during the Ptolemaic period—making him the god of choice for farmers, pharaohs, and anyone trying to avoid getting eaten by a crocodile. But the real question is: What exactly did Sobek’s sweat have to do with the Nile? Or better yet, how did he manage to make all those croc babies? Tune in for a mix of quirky fun, deep dives, and a little bit of weird history (because, obviously, it wouldn’t be For the Love of History without it). Episode Highlights: Sobek’s unexpected connection to Egypt's agricultural prosperity 🌾 The wild myth of Sobek and the Fish of Chaos 🐟 Why Egyptians worshipped deadly animals like crocodiles, hippos, and snakes 🐍 The iconic Sobek-Horus hybrid and why pharaohs loved it 👑 A seriously weird content warning: get your headphones ready for the love juice talk 🏋️‍♂️💦 Want more fun tidbits and obscure ancient history facts?

    The History and Legacy of Lilith the Mother of Demons

    In our season finale, we’re rolling out the red carpet for the one and only Lilith—the O.G. femme fatale, and the ultimate “villain era” icon! From ancient Sumerian demon to Adam’s feisty first wife, Lilith’s been raising eyebrows (and blood pressures) for centuries. Think you know her? Think again! Lilith’s story is more twisty than a soap opera plot, packed with scandals, fanfiction rewrites, and more rebrands than T-Swift. We’re spilling the tea on her journey from baby-snatching baddie to empowered icon, unraveling the lore that made her a pop culture staple (hello, Supernatural fans!). Whether she’s inspiring feminist movements or shaking up neo-pagan circles, Lilith has shown us that sometimes, the best way to make history is to refuse to play nice. So buckle up and embrace the rebel energy of Lilith—the gal who put the “myth” in mythology. It’s time to get fierce, folks! 🤩App Info🤩 📚Resources can be found here!📚 ______________________________________ Want more For the Love of History?
