A LOAD OF BS ON SPORT
026: Dr Jesse Bering on suicide, sex, fetishes and other curious behaviour (Part 2)
17 Jan 2022
This week I'm sharing the second part of my conversation with experimental psychologist Dr Jesse Bering, an American but Director of the Centre for Science Communication at the University of Otago in New Zealand.Last week, we discussed the science of the afterlife, out of body experiences and Jesse's experience of his own mother's death.This time we venture into the no less complicated and controversial subjects of suicide, sexuality and fetishes; not your normal weekly grocery bag, but all topics which demand significant airtime in their own rights, as I repeat in the podcast itself.But by presenting the big questions and challenges, I hope at a minimum this pricks your interest.My fetish is A Load of BS so do me a small favour and leave me a 5 star review on Apple, Spotify or wherever you listen. Share this with a friend, share it on Twitter and make my day.And if you haven’t signed up yet for all my writings on Monday BS and the pod archives, you can do that right here, right now.Ask Guillem Balague anything about Pep or MaradonaRemember that you can put your questions forward for upcoming shows and if I include it I shall credit you in the show. Next in line is football writer and broadcaster Guillem Balague with whom I'll be talking about two footballing icons who Guillem knows intimately, Pep Guardiola and Diego Maradona. And the characteristics and traits that made them both great and terribly fragile. If you have a question for Guillem, email me at [email protected] or DM me on Twitter. Hosted on Acast.
