Shrink Rap Radio

Excellent psychology podcasts complete with the wonderful tagline "All the psychology you need to know and just enough to make you dangerous." Hosted by David Van Nuys, Ph.D. Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Sonoma State University. "Dr Dave" as he is commonly known describes his collection of psychology podcasts as follows: In the U.S., psychology has long been the most popular undergraduate major in college. Various therapists on TV and Radio have enjoyed huge popularity, as well. And, there is seemingly no end to to the stream of self-help books that come out every year.

All in The Mind (BBC Radio UK)

A very useful way of understanding any psychological theory in greater depth is to see it being applied in the 'real world'. Allowing you to do just that are the psychology podcasts from the BBC featured in their radio show All in The Mind. All in The Mind is described as a show that explores the limits and potential of the mind, revealing the latest research and bringing together experts and commentators from the worlds of psychiatry, psychology and mental health. Coming from the BBC obviously some of the issues discussed are more relevant to UK psychology, for example, a recent show featured the president of The British Psychological Society addressing the issue of statutory regulation among psychologists. The show does, however, also cover a very wide range of generic psychology topics and is, therefore well worth checking out. There is a section on the BBC website dedicated to the show and although it's not always on air, visitors can listen to past shows in full dating back to 2005.

All in The Mind (ABC Radio Australia)

Another very informative addition to the psychology podcasts collection, also called "All in The Mind" is produced by ABC radio in Australia. Presented by Natasha Mitchell, the show is described as "A weekly foray into all things mental – a program about the mind, brain and behaviour. From dreaming to depression, addiction to artificial intelligence, consciousness to coma, psychoanalysis to psychopathy, free will to forgetting – All in the Mind explores the human condition through the mind's eye."

The Family Anatomy Podcast

The purpose of the Family Anatomy podcast show is to provide free research-based information in an easy-to-understand and entertaining package. It gives busy parents and couples a backstage pass to see how psychologists deal with relationship and parenting issues in their own lives. The podcast is the brainchild of Dr. Giuseppe Spezzano and Dr. Brian MacDonald who began to realize that the discussions they were having about their own children and families may be of interest to other parents and couples. They felt that people may be interested in knowing how professional psychologists actually use the advice they give to others in their own lives. They also knew that there was a great deal of psychological research on families, but this information was not getting to the people who need it most – children, youth and parents.
