Need something new to listen to at the gym or on long car rides home? The American Psychological Association has a great selection of podcasts relating to psychology. The podcasts, available here, are said to "showcase the academic, the scientific and the clinical sides of the field." One that I found really neat that the site links to Scientific American's "60-second Mind." Updated every Saturday, the podcast discusses some of the latest developments in human behavior and research on the brain, and it does so in a concise, one minute package. Recent podcasts have covered how body image is affected by the images that people see and Michael C. Hall, on TV's Dexter, talking about psychopathy. It's really pretty interesting stuff, and you can check it out for yourself here. Here's to starting off the new year with new podcasts for the mind, about the mind!
