  • Funny, and thorough

    I listened to your episode on colour deficiency and I was captured by how well you explain all the possible misinterpretations. You don’t leave room for system 1 thinking when you define your terms. You are clear. You are succinct. Which I appreciate as a hopefully logical person.

The field of psychology clearly still has a long way to go in this area. Looking forward to the generation of up and coming actually autistic psychologists ... more

  • My favorite podcast!

    I have been in the mental health for a while now, and most recently working towards a Master’s in Applied Behvaior Analysis. I started looking into podcasts on Psychology to help build my educational repertoire.

    WWDWWD quickly became my favorite podcast, along with the Controversial Exchange, another great show that RyanO is a part of.

    Shane, Abraham, RyanO and the entire crew are super enjoyable to listen to. I think it’s super cool that they’re musicians and into “nerdy” things, and ... more
