I have been interested in psychology lately and was wondering if there is anything out there like the 'Philosophize This' podcast but for psychology.

I just need to dip my toes into a topic and if I'm interested I can read books about it later.

Despite not being a psychologist, Simon Whistler is more accurate about it than anyone else I've seen on YouTube when it's spoken of (his topics range). The reason I start off mentioning him is because even the professionals stick to stereotypes sometimes and it's irritating. "Good" ones are typically exclusive to who they teach.

It's worth mentioning on the side that, even in 2024, it's still not what many would call an "exact science". Take the Milgram and Stanford prison experiments for example. Repeat experiments could not repeat findings, in fact history suggests the opposite.

What is your source for Milgram (and Stanford) not being replicated? As far as I can see, it was, in Burger, Jerry M. (2008) "Replicating Milgram: Would People Still Obey Today?" for example, but also in many different experiments.

I can't really find any sources for the experiment being performed wrongly or disproved or anything. Of course, it's hard to replicate them with current ethical standards being in place, but that's the only thing I could find, not that the experiments themselves weren't valid.
