  Kung Fu Panda & Residency: Growth Mindset 17.08.2026 55min

  Margaret is back and today our episode pulls themes from Carol Dweck’s work and book Growth Mindset, as well as a favorite sophisticated film: Kung Fu Panda. In this episode, Margaret and Preston discuss a frame to make sense of the obstacles we meet as we change levels of training, weather you’re starting med school, doing a post doc, or changing jobs. We walk through phases of growing, including failing, flailing, and flourishing, and give examples along the way from our growth-minded Panda friend.  Check out some info on Dr. Dweck’s work: https://ctl.stanford.edu/students/growth-mindset Check out a paper as well from a few years ago on limitations/evolving learning on growth mindset as a frame (we love nuance here):  Yeager DS, Dweck CS.

  THROWBACK: Alcohol: Examining Alcohol culture, history, and use disorder (Season 1 Episode 15) 10.08.2026 1h 34min

  In Episode 15, Preston and Margaret open a bottle—of questions, stories, and science—about alcohol use disorder. What do we get wrong about “moderate” drinking? Why is detox more dangerous than most people realize? And how does alcohol quietly reshape identity, relationships, and the brain itself? With their signature blend of honesty and humor, they explore the unexpected ways drinking shows up in medicine, the myths that keep us stuck, and the messy, meaningful path to redefining recovery. Takeaways: What if “just a drink” isn’t so simple? Preston and Margaret explore how subtle patterns can blur the line between social drinking and something more. Could quitting be more dangerous than drinking? There’s a reason detox needs to be taken seriously—and it’s not what you think. What does alcohol really do to your brain? Let’s just say it’s a little more complicated than relaxation and red wine. Why don’t we talk about medication for alcohol use disorder? The answers are as cultural as they are clinical. Is recovery a destination—or something else entirely? Margaret and Preston unpack a version of success that doesn’t always fit the script.

  Sex Differences in Aging Cognition with Dr. Sullivan 03.08.2026 52min

  In today’s episode we bring on Dr. Campbell Sullivan, PsyD to discuss the interesting field of neuropsychology, a complicated niche that focuses on eliciting deficits in cognition across patters of disease. We discuss the triumphs of her field as they collaborate with both psychiatry and neurology and then get into the places she sees room for improvement, particularly in how we assess and treat cognition in the aging female brain.

  THROWBACK: The Lithium Episode (Season 2 Episode 14) 27.07.2026 1h 16min

  In this preston-led episode, we take a deep dive into the history of lithium and its use in psychiatry. But because Preston is very literal, we are starting at the very beginning, inside of stars where lithium was formed at the beginning of the universe. Then we will follow this wonderful atom through history and past its FDA approval in 1970 to where we are today.  Takeaways: Lithium was once sold in Seven Up as a mood-lifting ingredient—but the consequences were messy. A forgotten Australian psychiatrist helped launch lithium into psychiatry with groundbreaking trials. Despite its toxicity risks, lithium remains the gold standard for reducing relapse and suicidality. U.S. psychiatrists resisted lithium for decades—even as Europe embraced it.

  Missed Diagnoses in History Part II: Joan of Arc and King George the III 20.07.2026 36min

  In this episode of historical psychiatric diagnoses we continue the “arc” (get it) with the story of a young girl with vivid hallucinations who galvanized the French army and a wise king who lost his sanity late in life. The interesting thing about these cases, however, is that they may have more underlying medical issues and in fact, the psychospiritual and somatic issues of the past are just as intertwined as they are today. Even to the point where we have to correct ourselves and realize that we may have been calling these incorrectly for a while.

  THROWBACK: Heart of Psychiatry (Season 2 Episode 1) 13.07.2026 1h 24min

  We're pulling a throwback from season two for this one, and it's the episode I will go to the mat for as one of the most clinically useful hours of psychiatry content we've ever put out. Margaret literally calculates QTc off this episode every time she's on call and her CL attending called her out for it the other day, like, "Look at her recalculating." So when she said we should bring this one back, I didn't argue. If you're a resident, an attending who consults psych in the hospital, or a patient or family member trying to understand what it means to live after a cardiac event, start here.

  ADHD may be more of a reward problem than an attention problem 06.07.2026 23min

  Today we'll talk through this one study from 2010 out of the Oxford Department of Experimental Psychology, "Task-related default mode network modulation and inhibitory control in ADHD: effects of motivation and methylphenidate", that I want to walk you through, because the way it reframed ADHD for me as a resident is one of the more useful brain-flips I've had this year.

  THROWBACK: Motivational Interviewing (Season 1 Episode 8) 29.06.2026 1h 36min

  We're going back to one of our oldies but besties. This is our motivational interviewing episode from season one, which Margaret and I both agree is probably the best episode we made that whole first run. And it holds up, maybe even better now that we're further along in training and have actually used a lot of these tools in real clinical work.

  Missed Diagnoses in History: Story Time: Charles VI and Mary Todd Lincoln 22.06.2026 46min

  I figured we'd do something I've been wanting to do for a while: story time. Specifically, the kind where I take some of history's most famous figures, walk you through what actually happened to them, and then put on my psychiatry resident hat and try to figure out what we'd actually diagnose them with today. We will be analyzing King of France, Charles VI and Mary Todd Lincoln. Get ready to hear me yap about psychiatric history!

  THROWBACK: Attachment Theory, just hanging in there (Season 1 Episode 2) 15.06.2026 1h 14min

  We're doing a throwback! This was our second episode ever, way back when I was at the beginning of fourth year of med school and Margaret and I were still figuring out the rhythm of this whole podcast thing. I'm now at the end of my first year of child fellowship, and somehow attachment theory keeps coming back around no matter what lens I try to look through, existential therapy, child psych, even our death anxiety episode. Pretty much every road leads back to it. So we wanted to bring it back, dust it off, and let y'all hear where we started.

  BONUS! Code Orange: We Got Dr. Orange on the Pod 25.05.2026 43min

  Code ORANGE. We had to break the between-seasons hiatus for this one. If you've been on healthcare TikTok in the last month and you haven't seen the burnt-out fruit basket emerging, you have some catching up to do. And it all started with Dr. Orange. Margaret and I sat down with the anonymous primary care doctor behind the orange filter that's been unleashing the truest, funniest, most honest takes on what it's actually like to practice medicine in 2026. We get into all of it. Why she finally hit record. How she picked an orange. What she actually wishes she could change about her day-to-day if she had a magic wand. Her thoughts on direct pay, PSLF golden handcuffs, and the unhinged loyalty arc she's developing toward Tropicana.

  Season 3 Wrapped: Time To Reflect and Look Forward 27.04.2026 45min

  As we wrap up Season 3, Margaret and I are looking back at the long journey from our first late-night recording sessions in 2025 to where we are now: mid-fellowship for Margaret and fourth year for me. This season wasn't just about "yapping"; it was a masterclass in learning how to podcast and excavating the narratives hidden inside clinical papers.

  Ask a Psychiatrist: The Grab Bag Special 13.04.2026 1h

  Margaret and I decided to tackle the questions that have been circling our DMs, including the controversial continuum of harm reduction, where does "good enough" care end and "enabling" begin? We also touch on the complexities of diagnosing autism across genders, the "stolen valor" of internet neuroscientists, and why I’m convinced that oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) might sometimes just be a side effect of adults who’ve forgotten how to listen.

  Giving and Receiving Feedback with Paul Tran 06.04.2026 1h 15min

  I’m flying solo for most of this one while Margaret is off saving dolphins (or just finishing a hospital admission ), but I’ve brought in a heavy hitter to help me tackle one of the most awkward parts of medical training: feedback. Paul Tran, the creative force behind Alimentary School, joins me to discuss why the feedback we give and receive in the clinic usually, to put it bluntly, sucks. We dive into the "Politeness Concept," where supervisors give a quick "good job" just to save face and get out of the room, leaving learners with zero actionable data. Paul introduces the concept of "Wise Feedback", 19 words that can completely change how a student engages with their work, and we break down the "Four T’s" of delivery: Tact, Timing, Intent, and Tone. From the trauma of childhood soccer critiques about our noses to the "glass-shattering" realizations of a former competitive figure skater, this episode is about turning subjective observations into meaningful coaching.

  Coffee, Tea and Dementia 30.03.2026 1h 1min

  In this journal club episode, we break down the recent findings from a landmark (in my opinion) study on the associated risks between caffeine consumption and dementia risk. Spoiler alert! More coffee might actually be protective against dementia; however, we need to take these findings with a grain of salt (or creamer) and understand how the nuance of this information can help both our lives and our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases.  Zhang Y, Liu Y, Li Y, et al.

  Existential Psychotherapy Part 3: Isolation 16.03.2026 1h 2min

  Spoiler Alert! The key to not feeling isolated is to (wait for it) be around other people! Humans are naturally driven social creatures, but the ways in which we attempt to run from isolation become the problem. In this episode, we discuss how isolation is an ever-present fear, how existential isolation differs from interpersonal and intrapersonal isolation, and how meaningful, balanced relationships can form to fill the void.
