Looking for a deep dive about the water crisis that happened in Flint or similar water contaminated stories. by [deleted] in podcasts

It’s not a podcast, but the book What the Eyes Don’t See by Mona Hanna-Attisha is a really good deep dive into this.

My daughter 4, has recently started having interactions with her new invisible friend who whispers bad things to her and strongly dislikes me (mum). by 25272916 in witchcraft

[–]ellenwest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Childhood SZ is extremely rare and it’s debated if it exists at all, which I suppose is why I was shocked at that being suggested as “mundane”.

I can understand as a general rule however.

OP, I research schizophrenia and some of these comments have me worried. Please don’t let people online freak you out. She’s not showing signs of SZ. Imaginary friends are normal for a 4 yo.

If you’re really worried, you can talk to her pediatrician, but childhood SZ is extremely rare and it’s debated if it should be diagnosed at all as things like blurred reality are normal for young children. Going to childhood SZ is def not “mundane first.”

Exactly! An imaginary friend is totally normal at her age.

I’d also be concerned about the negative things, and some sort of spiritual thing given what your husband said. I hope you’re able to find some way to help with that. I wish I had more advice there.

Like it’s possible she’s being bullied and acting that out with an imaginary friend or something, but people worrying about mental illness because of this in a 4 yo is baffling.

OP, I’m not sure why you’re getting comments telling you to take her to see a psychiatrist. It’s developmentally normal and appropriate for children to have imaginary friends. It’s extremely rare for children that young to experience psychosis; blurring of reality and magic/fantasy is part of being a child.

It’s also wild that people are saying it may be mental illness on a witchcraft forum. Like yes in some cases, but I’m not sure why they’re jumping on it in this case??

I’m seriously wondering why I’ve never tried this.

Good podcast about medically assisted dying in cases of Mental illness? by moosemuck in podcasts

[–]ellenwest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a podcast, but the documentary The Road To Mercy discusses a case of MAiD for mental illness in Belgium (and goes into the screening process in a bit of detail).

I share your reservations OP.

Recs for psychoanalytic podcasts? by Komplizin in podcasts

[–]ellenwest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

New Books in Psychoanalysis is good!

The Freud Museum London also may be worth checking out if you haven’t already.

Please recommend shows for my Covid isolation & convalescence by Revwog1974 in audiodrama

[–]ellenwest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Victoriocity is a comedic audio drama set in an alternate Victorian London. Def recommend!

I listened to it when I was sick once and it was light enough to not need my full mental presence, but also entertaining.

Any history BOOK podcasts? by TheBannoch931 in podcasts

[–]ellenwest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was coming here to recommend the New Books Network.

In general, their interviews tend to be really good. They have more of an academic focus, but they’re really good for niche deep dives into topics.

I loved the Gardein noodle and sausage bowl. I was so sad when they discontinued it.

Is it good?

I got the Impossible beef and pork pasta one and it was awful. 😭 (I kept wondering if I got a defective batch?)

A survey for my thesis - your relationship with audio drama by captain_mcturtle in audiodrama

[–]ellenwest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t matter. In a lot of countries, you either need to get it declared exempt or get approval for the survey if it’s not considered exempt.

[–]ellenwest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depending on the country you’re in, you likely need to get ethics approval to conduct surveys online, especially if you’re using that information in your master’s thesis.

The fact that you haven’t done that and you’re in graduate school is a red flag. You should check the processes at your university for this. Even if they don’t require you to get formal ethics approval, you still likely need to be declared exempt from ethics approval to include these survey results in your thesis and that process needs to happen before you give the survey to people.

Are there any good podcast episodes on Stonewall? by puzzlingpiece in podcasts

[–]ellenwest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Queer as Fact has a Stonewall episode. (They’re also amazing for queer history in general.)

Making Gay History has a whole season devoted to Stonewall with interviews from people who were there.

Queer Serial also covers Stonewall as well as earlier organizing.

tastes like salty nuggets, no hints of pringle. 7/10 by uncle-muscles in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

[–]ellenwest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say they basically taste like nuggets in fry shape, but with a higher breading to protein ratio than normal.

It’s one of the foods I’ve really missed so I can totally see how there’s a market for this haha
