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.

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.

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.
