The Chris Moyles Show On Radio X Podcast this week really is a shocker! We start off with a catch up with Dom after his WEDDING at the weekend, after which our social media team may have put out a blunder related to it. We introduce a new game called “Expert In A Day”, which includes the punishment of an electric shock machine, called an E-Stim. The whole team has a go, which produces some brilliant results. Andi Peters joins the team live from the Love Island villa, before James May talks to Chris and the team ahead of his new Prime Video travel show, however the chat is derailed quickly by Tesco self service and pub chat. Chris then drops the bombshell that he'll be visiting Producer James' home town of Whitehaven, as he headlines a festival there, before we give away money to someone who had to ask what Chris' last name was. But that's not all…. - New WhatsApp Messages - Will Taron Edgerton be on the show (Spoiler, no) - Some Intimate News On Patrick Bamford Enjoy! The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Weekdays 6:30-10am

Now, science is many things but at its core, it is fundamentally human - to strive to understand, to seek out; and to know. And while we strive to do this while adhering to strict codes of conduct & ethical boundaries. At least we do now anyway. But in the field of psychology In the middle of the 20th century however, all bets were off. Gina Perry, writer, science historian and author of ‘Behind the Shock Machine' & ‘The Lost Boys'
Dutch historian and De Correspondent writer Rutger Bregman got famous for the lashings he gave Tucker Carlson and the assembled plutocrats of Davos. But his work is far more utopian than polemical. The conversation we had on this show almost a year ago on his previous book Utopia for Realists is still one of my favorites. Bregman's new book, Humankind: A Hopeful History, is even more ambitious: it's an effort to establish that human beings, human nature, is kinder, friendlier, more decent, than we are given credit for. And that a new world could be built atop that understanding. I'm not convinced by everything in this book, to be honest. But that tension makes this conversation unusually generative. We discuss the deeply social, egalitarian lives of hunter-gatherers, whether the advent of human civilization was a huge mistake, and how our views toward religious faith have changed radically since our early 20s; and we debate whether humans have a nature at all, the implications of the Holocaust, whether we can build a society without CEOs, politicians, and bureaucrats, and more By the end, I'm still not sure I believe there is one human nature. But, I do think that if we believed Bregman's view of our nature, rather than, say, Donald Trump's view of our nature, maybe we could build something much more beautiful.

Why would doctors create a machine to shock patients? I'm Colton, from Ripleys.com, and this is your Weird Minute.
This week, we take a look at 2 notable post world war 2 social psychology experiments and their creators: Stanley Milgram and his "shock machine", and Muzafer Sherif's boys camp study on group conflict. How did these scientists approach their work? How did the experiments run? How do the experiments hold up? How did people feel then about the ethics of them, and how do we feel now? We are joined by registered psychologist and author Gina Perry, who has written a book each on these men: "Behind the Shock Machine: The Untold Story of the Notorious Milgram Psychology Experiments",...

“I began to see some of the high profile, very dramatic experiments in social psychology of the 1950s and 60s, as what they were – metaphors. We invest them with a truth and authority that often goes way beyond what we’ve demonstrated in the lab” says Gina Perry. The particular experiments she is taking a fresh look at in her book, Behind the Shock Machine, are the Milgram experiments, conducted at Yale University in 1963, which suggested that 65% of people would give fatal electric shocks to complete strangers if asked to do so by an authority figure. These experiments have been used to ‘explain’ the behaviour of Nazis in the holocaust. Stanley Milgram’s findings are shocking, but are they valid? That is the central question Perry seeks to address. Craig Barfoot’s interview with Gina Perry explores the evidence....
