Episode 130: Even the Psychics Hate Mediums: Paranormal Pseudoscience – Psychosocial Distancing
Episode 130 of our book read/podcast covering major topics in various fields of psychology moves us into a continuation of the Year of Clickbait with PSEUDOSCIENCE! This Spring we are going to be talking about pseudoscience. Who believes it? Why do they believe it? Is there a kernel of truth to some of the pseudoscientific beliefs people have? And more…
In this episode Daniel and Thomas discuss Ghost hunting as maybe the least harmful pseudoscience, the people who want to study the supernatural for real, and mediums, who might not be that harmless. It’s a casual episode to kick off the season on pseudoscience
Warning: This episode may contain some graphic information: all season we will be talking about some less than savory topics.
