This would be a fun podcast for undergrads to learn more about the measurement issues with Myers Briggs, and understand broader scale development.
I love that the hosts also recognize why we enjoy tests that categorize us and make us feel good :)
NEW EPISODE: How a mother, a daughter and a crackpot Swiss psychologist gave us the world's most popular Buzzfeed quiz.

This is everything I love about MP: queer people dunking on the cishets from the place of personal knowledge we all share, a cutting methodology review, two people making each other laugh about dark shit, a soundboard, and femmes👏getting👏laid👏.
NEW EPISODE!
The anti-trans movement can't stop stepping on the same rake: While trying to prove that kids are being rushed into hormones and surgeries, it ends up proving that they aren't.

Already 33 minutes into this episode and memories I had locked up in my brain from my time at Northwestern came rushing back out as soon as Michael said "fucksaw." 🙃
This is about to be a TUESDAY!

Transphobes cite teen friend groups all coming into trans identity together as evidence of ROGD but they have it backwards. When I was a high schooler none of us were out but we were drawn to one another. It's almost like having something in common brings us closer together...
NEW EPISODE!
Who should we trust to determine the best care for trans kids? Trans people, researchers and medical professionals — or an anonymous web forum of deranged parents?

Please listen to this. It's the best explainer around ozempic/wegovy/semaglutide out there, and it makes a very clear the link between the discourse around weight loss "treatments" and fat phobia, & the real and incredibly harmful consequences of that for people in bigger bodies.

the biggest thing I learned from this episode is that Michael Hobbes has been HOLDING HIS MIC THIS WHOLE TIME???? this information makes me feel deranged
We're back! We missed you!

Hard to overpraise @RotteninDenmark’s and @yrfatfriend’s granular debunking of #RFKJr’s flat-out, paranoid lies in the 2005 Salon/Rolling Stone “article” that kicked off the glory days of modern US antivax-ism.

Episode 18: Liberal Fascism
For decades, scholars have treated fascism as a right-wing phenomenon. But Jonah Goldberg is here to tell you the truth: fascism is when you use the government to help people.

Jesus Christ, my mind is still reeling from this episode. How, how, hooooow do people take this guy seriously?

One of the fascinating parts of this episode of @maintenancepod is how much of the anti-vaxx movement of the 1970s and 1980s didn't really focus on autism, but laid the groundwork for Wakefield's bullshit. You see the same thing with how autism anti-vaxxers laid it for Covid.
