    Cryptid Creatures – Jesse Haynes: Science Fiction Novelist

    Listen
    Cryptid Creatures is a podcast about the exploration of some cryptozoological myths and monsters from all across the map. If you enjoy the paranormal and creepy, then this is the iTunes podcast for you. Science Fiction novelist Jesse Haynes guides Season One across the United States in an exploration of everything creepy. From Kentucky to Missouri, to South Carolina and Oklahoma, and even more, this podcast covers a tremendous amount of ground and is perfect for the pseudoscience enthusiast, or even the common traveler looking for some entertainment. This podcast is not designed to spoon-feed you. It is not going to tell you what to believe. The best decisions are the ones that are independently formulated, so Cryptid Creatures is going to give you both sides of the argument—the myth and the science—and coming up with a conclusion will be up to you. The driving question behind the episodes is simply this: What do you believe? Read More

    Mindful Recovery
    Social Sciences

    Mindful Recovery

    Listen
    Mindful Recovery is a podcast devoted to helping individuals who are struggling with trauma and addictions. Mindfulness is a research-based method for dealing with anxiety and trauma. Psychological and neuroscience studies have found that it is possible to increase the growth of neuronal pathways and retrain our brains in coping with these issues. Basic techniques like learning to pay attention to our own breathing and looking honestly and non-judgmentally at our broken spaces can begin to create an emotional holding space that allows us to live without reacting to the pain and begin deciding how we want to act on the world we find ourselves in. This becomes the beginning of recovery and, thus, the beginning of a new and abundant life in recovery. Whether you struggle with anxiety, mental illness, complex trauma, PTSD, addictions or a multitude of other problems, becoming mindful is the first step along that path. Here we provide practice, education and support in beginning your journey to healing. In returning to this podcast as of 2/1/25 officially I am still devoted to emotional regulation teaching through mindfulness and am looking forward to sharing the latest research in neuroscience especially concerning trauma and the brain. We will also be having open discussions on this show, that will require courage and decency. This podcast may stir things in you at times and I recommend that if that happens you consider therapy seriously.

    Psychology Of Everything – Michael McClendon

    Listen
    Whether through a telescope, microscope, or stethoscope, we have been trying to understand ourselves and others for as long as any of us can remember or the history books have recorded. In the past century and a half there has been a massive collection of information from numerous sources, comprising what we now refer to as psychology. Yet, even though we have so much information, the general awareness or use of this technology is very limited. Or worse yet, we think we “know” more than we really do. Michael McClendon, PsyD (an honest to goodness shrink) plays host to topical experts who will help us dig into the data and make sense of the rich knowledge base that does exist, and how we can put that information to use. Moreover, Michael has promised to leave the jargon in the classroom and talk about these topics in a way that makes sense and doesn’t require a special glossary of terms. Read More
