This documentary by medical doctor and academic Dr Chris van Tulleken features interviews with former food industry insiders who talk openly about the way in which popular foods have been designed to be irresistible. Food companies go to extraordinary lengths to ensure their products connect with consumers - from using brain scans to assess the deliciousness of ice cream to carefully engineering the sound of a crunch. Ultra-processed foods are hyper-delicious and super-convenient, have long shelf lives and are extremely cheap. But a growing body of evidence is linking these products to our declining health. David A Quiet Evening: The Travels of Norman Lewis Collected here, from a period of nearly five decades, are thirty-six of Norman Lewis's best articles. In each, his writing crackles with poker-faced wit and stylistic brilliance. As a witness to his times – the good, the bad and the absurd – he was unmatched, and his instinct for important events, and moments, was infallible. His range here includes Ibizan fishermen, an interview with Castro's executioner, the genocide of the South American Indian tribes, a paean to Seville and his meeting with a tragic Ernest Hemingway. That meeting was ‘a shattering experience,' Norman wrote to Ian Fleming who had commissioned him, ‘of the kind likely to sabotage ambition.'Fortunately it didn't, and the articles assembled between these covers are compulsive, hilarious, tender and beautifully written, at times deeply upsetting, and always unforgettable.

Friends! We're recapping AN ENTIRE SEASON of reality television in celebration of our first 50 episodes!In this approach to podding, Dr.s Kay & Ray are recapping the whole first season of the UK version of Love is Blind (streaming on Netflix)!--The international Love is Blind franchise features castmates getting emotionally intimate and then engaged sight unseen (from within separate “pods”), prior to testing their physical relationship with their affianced on a tropical trip and with typical cohabitation back home. At the end, the couples (by contract) go to the altar to say “I do” or “don't” to a legally-binding marriage license.-- If you've been wondering whether this franchise or this specific season might be worth watching, or wondering which episode featured Demi disclosing about her Endometriosis or Ollie about his ADHD, or if you just need a refresher of the season, we've got you! Dr.s Kay & Ray review their 6 typical segments as they go, thereby including discussion of sociopolitical aspects, aspects that would differ if producers were psychologists, and other psychology-specific concepts. Check it out!----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reality testing is when we check an emotion or thought we're having against objective reality. So, here in Reality Test, we're going to be testing the thoughts, emotions, interactions, and producer antics of reality television against what we know, as licensed psychologists, about objective reality. Come Reality Test with us!Hosts: Dr. Kay & Dr. RayThank you to our sound extraordinaire, Connor!Instagram: @drkaypods @drraypodsTikTok: @dr.realitvFacebook Page: Reality Test Pod YouTube Channel: @RealityTestPodEmail: realitycheckpodding@gmail.com
