    So long, and thanks for all the fish

    We have decided to call time on Two Shrinks Pod as our personal and professional lives have prevented us from being able to regularly produce the show. As we both care about the quality of the work we put out, we decided that if we couldn’t produce something we were proud of then it was time to end the pod. Thank you to all of the tens of thousands of listeners who had let us into your ears and minds, and for sharing our nerdy sense of humour. Thanks to our collaborators and interview guests. It has been an amazing journey to go on with all of you. We will keep our episodes and website up indefinitely. If you want to contact us, we will keep monitoring our email twoshrinkspod@gmail.com and our twitter @twoshrinkspod until the end of May 2023. Irvin Yalom said “life is a spark between two identical voids, the darkness before birth and the one after death”. Listeners, thanks for making our spark burn that just that bit brighter. We hope yours burned brighter too for having listened to us. Amy and Hunter.

    82 - Phobias: A Year 12 Psychology Exam Crash Course

    This episode we’ve put together a crash course on phobias. We know phobias are on the VCE psychology exam and we have covered the main topics and theories covered in the course. The episode is pitched at Australian year 12 psychology students (and for their parents wanting to understand what this psychology garbage is). We don’t assume any prior psychology knowledge so this means that it is good episode for anyone who want to understand about psychological theory and treatment. Understanding phobias and their treatment brings together a lot of core psychological concepts. Listen in for easy to understand definitions, examples and how it all fits together to understand the case of Ron Weasley’s arachnophobia. We can’t promise we have talked about everything on the exam but it should be a good way to brush up pre exam.

    80 - This Episode Could've Been an Email

    This episode we’re covering our professional gripes with a thin veil of science and talking about work research. Join us for a light-hearted, research based whinge about frictionless spaces for nomadic workers (or hotdesking), how meetings interrupt us, documentation makes us burnt out and just how judgemental we all are about email signatures. To wrap up, Hunter proves a point about windfarms to a random farmer he met on a plane and Amy waxes lyrical about comfort food. Work Research: The demands and resources arising from shared office spaces Settlers, vagrants and mutual indifference: unintended consequences of hot-desking Meetings and more meetings: the relationship between meeting load and the daily well-being of employees The impact of time spent on the electronic health record after work and of clerical work on burnout among clinical faculty How Impactful Is Presentation in Email? The Effect of Avatars and Signatures TWCA: The Pattern of Complaints about Australian Wind Farms Does Not Match the Establishment and Distribution of Turbines: Support for the Psychogenic, ‘Communicated Disease’ Hypothesis Exploring comfort food preferences across age and gender

    79 - Sarcasm

    This time on 2SP we’re taking a look at sarcasm through 4 research articles. How does it develop in childhood? Are some cultures really more sarcastic? Can make us more creative? And, can emojis help avoid awkward misunderstandings of sarcasm when we text? After a delightful break with some sparkling shiraz, Hunter laments the impact of clutter on productivity and Amy talks about whether people feel more safely attached to their pets or their partners. Sarcasm Research The highest form of intelligence: Sarcasm increases creativity for both expressers and recipients (Huang et al, 2015) Saying what you don’t mean: a cross-cultural study of perceptions of sarcasm (Blasko et al, 2021) Emoji as a tool to aid the comprehension of written sarcasm: evidence from younger and older adults (Garcia et al, 2022) Development of children’s ability to distinguish sarcasm and verbal irony (Glenwright & Pexman, 2010) TWCA Romantic partners and four-legged friends: an extension of attachment theory to relationships with pets (Beck & Madresh, 2015) The impact of office clutter on remote working: “I can’t work with all this stuff!” (Ferrari et al, 2021)
