Hey guys, I rarely (if ever) post in the Locker Room so this may have been discussed before but I wanted to get a thread going on everyone's favorite non-FSU related podcast. It could be sports, business, finance, history...whatever. Which podcasts do you subscribe to?
 
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History
Dave Ramsey Show
The Joe Rogan Experience
The Ben Shapiro Show
Freakanomics Radio
Catholic Stuff You Should Know
Jocko Podcast
 
Freakanomics
Revisionist History with Malcolm Gladwell
Pod Save America
This American Life
Fresh Air
Stay Tuned with Preet Bharara
On Point
RadioLab
Planet Money
Slow Burn is a great podcast series about Watergate
Hidden Brain
How I Built This
 
Reliable O and I must be long-lost brothers. Nearly every one he lists is on my go to list of podcasts. My top ones would be Freakonomics, Fresh Air, This American Life, and 1A w Joshua Johnson.

True Crime Podcasts are my favorite. To me the best are the the below.
Old Sword and Scale (do not listen to episode 20). It is beyond awful. The Johnny Gosch 2 parter is way out there. If 25% of it is true I would be shocked.
True Crime Garage is much lighter. The Boys on the Track 4 part series is just crazy.
 
The five that I currently have on my phone are:
S-Town
Sword and Scale
Uncover (true crime about the NXIVM sex cult)
Science Friday
Revisionist History

S-Town is an amazing story, but Revisionist History is consistently the best of the five.

Of the recent S&S episodes, 125 was quite interesting.

Did you make it through Episode 20 of Sword and Scale?
 
The one about the Canibal pedophiles. They used the computer voices cause it was so disturbing.

Oh yea, the Florida church puppeteer child pornography case. Technically, I think the perpetrator had vorarephilia, rather than pedophilia. The computerized reading of the chat logs seemed gimmicky and unnecessary to me, but S&S definitely dials up the sensationalism on occasion.

I remember discussing that episode in a clinical conference with several colleagues when the mandated reporting law was updated to include possession of child pornography how that impacted the informed consent process for psychotherapy. It raises a number of interesting questions, including the criminalization of fiction/fantasy and the ever amorphous definition of pornography.

I actually found the Sword and Scale podcast due to episode 19, which is about Elliot Rodger and the Isla Vista shootings. I worked the postvention at UCSB and SBCC, and he was the first really violent manifestation of the Incel subculture that I recall. He and his actions still really unnerve me.
 
The Books of Titans
Criminology
Crawlspace
Up and Vanished
Vanished: The Tara Calico Investigation



* STown was good. It's a single season as far as I know.
 
Lots of good ones already mentioned. Others:

Intelligence Squared debates. This is a curated debate format on lots of topics. They’ll have professors, lawyers, and various topic experts in the mix of relevant ilk. Tends to be fairly well done.

Freakanomics

Used to like waking up Sam Harris but I’ve let that one go.

Ted radio hour
 
Casefile
True Crime Garage
Game of Thrones Podcast
83 Weeks
Jocko podcast
Criminology
Crime in Sports
Podcast Ain’t Played Nobody
Shat the Movies
The Rowlcast

In no particular order
 
I'm not really a podcast guy but I will definitely check out freakanomics.

Startalk (Neil Degrasse Tyson) is one I've been meaning to check out.
 
Picked up Uncover via @FSU_UCLA and it's a winner.

As for Neil DeGrasse Tyson, I don't know who's more egotistical Trump or Tyson, but if their ego was a nation the currency would be in Spurriers.

He turns me off speaking down to people out of his field. PASS

Props to Sword Scale @FSU_UCLA

I found James Fallon fascinating. Anything you want to add on brain scans and DNA?

I also found his talk about not letting kids work out issues and the genes that are turned on in relation to "powder kegs".

Thoughts?

As you probably noticed, Fallon is a bit of a showman. Nevertheless, his research is fascinating and generally rigorous. I think that Chris Patrick at FSU has actually advanced the neuroscience of psychopathy in more valuable and impactful ways than Fallon, but he is lower profile. Fallon does a good job of distilling and packaging the research on the brain systems associated with psychopathy, though I think he underemphasizes the role of the mirror neuron circuitry. I like that he emphasizes orbitofrontal cortices associated with reward responsivity and risk aversion, and I a strong proponent of conceptuaizing behavior and personality from an epigenetic perspective that emphasizes the interaction between genes and environmental experience/exposure.

As an aside, I briefly overlapped with one of Fallon’s post-docs when we were both doing a quirky (and really freaking difficult) course at RAND by two preeminent UCLA social psychologists. He was a really sharp dude, but he definitely gave me the creeps a little bit.

The old saw in psychology that “you study what you are” echoes around occasionally.
