Pop Psych 101
Summary: In an effort to educate and normalize, two therapists, Ryan Engelstad and Hayley Roberts, talk candidly about mental health and illness through the lens of movies, music, books, and TV. Common pop culture mental health tropes are analyzed, and the accuracy of their portrayals are in question, for better or worse. PopPsych can be raw and real, and very serious; it can also be very funny. If we really want to normalize the conversation about mental health, then we need to start having real and normal conversations. S1 (Ep1-51): Ryan+Mike S2 (52-62): Ryan's Solo Career S3 (63+): Ryan+Hayley

In this episode I dive into the world wide phenomenon that is Netflix's Tiger King. I invited my fellow improviser Mick Murtha on the show to talk about why we are all so fascinated with this story and how we have gotten sucked into it during this time much like the followers of Joe Exotic, Carol Baskin, and Doc Antle got sucked into their endeavors. We talk about why people are susceptible to these types of "leaders" and how we can prevent ourselves from getting in too deep.
