Episode 61 - Hip Opera
The yoga teacher Kayla McCormack and the comedian Peter Brush return to chat about the hips, memory and the perception of time. Discussion includes stuff on hip anatomy, flexibility, whether emotions are really stored in our hips as some in the yoga community believe, the fallibility of our memories, repressed memories and the scandal of the recovered memory movement, Freud, when we form our fundamental beliefs, if our political opinions and morals are formed around hardwired personality traits, whether it's harder to change our minds on things in the internet age when we all have a written record of our past opinions, if time really does speed up as we get older and why, plus there's a stupid joke about Eartha Kitt.

Episode 60 - This Is EFT Tapping
Peter and Kayla (a yoga teacher and a stand-up comedian) chat about what EFT tapping is, and its possible therapeutic benefits. Also discussed are acupuncture and meridian lines, Chinese medicine, how the geography of a region may affect the culture of the people who live there, echinacea, placebos and the problem of self-reporting in medical studies, limiting beliefs, the genuine positive effects of priming in a yoga class, and what those ancestry websites are doing with all of our DNA. Also Peter scratches his car and due to his meditation practise is definitely not dwelling on it and barely mentions it continuously throughout the episode.

Episode 59 - The Triumph of 'The Pill'?
Our yoga teacher (Kayla) and comedian (Peter) combo chat about the contraceptive pill, how it works, it's physical and cultural impact, the potential for a male contraceptive bill, theories of evolutionary psychology for differences in sexual behaviour, managing menstrual cycles whilst playing elite sport, and whether we've been seduced into thinking there's a technological or pharmaceutical answer for all of life's problems (a pill for all ills, you could say). There's also a discussion about what the best time of the day/month/year to exercise, meditate or write funny jokes actually is.

Episode 58 - Experience, Resilience, Fashionable Manes and Storytelling Brains
In this episode a yoga teacher (Kayla) and a comedian (Peter) chat about aging, whether western society actually reveres the elderly, lost knowledge, the invention of the teenager, living in a high-tech image-based culture, if solar flares will knock out all of our technology one day, cycles of fashion and political thought, the demographics of people in political life, representative democracy vs direct democracy vs communism, extended adolescence, whether we're ever actually ready to do anything until we've done it, resilience and triumphing over adversity, the lack of medical research that has been done on women, emotions creating narrative shortcuts in the brain, and mullets. Phew, that was a mouthful. So yeah, loads of stuff this month, hope you enjoy.

Episode 57 - Viva La Resolution
A yoga teacher (Kayla) and her faithful student (Peter, who is also a comedian btw) discuss resolutions, how easy it is to set and keep them, whether having a moral focus underpinning a resolution makes it easier to keep rather than just setting a specific goal, fake meats, the ethics of certain diets, the flaws and potential politicisation of nutritional information, the naturalistic fallacy, eunuchs, the menopause, the opposite of green, and the demonisation of sugar.
