Podcasts about Small Potatoes

A Spider-Man movie can be huge without feeling bloated, and Brand New Day is the proof. We walk through why this film lands so hard by doing something simple: it pulls Peter Parker back down to the street, takes away the safety net of Stark tech, and forces him to survive on grit, instincts, and choices that actually hurt. Tom Holland delivers one of his strongest physical and emotional performances, and we dig into the parts that make this version of Spider-Man feel fully grown up.We also unpack the story mechanics that keep the pace moving without drowning the lead character. The movie packs in comic book Easter eggs, Damage Control chaos, and cameos like Yelena Belova as Black Widow, but the heart stays with Peter. Then the wild card hits: Jean Grey arrives as a telepath who body-hops, can't crack Peter's mind, and spirals after learning what VentMax really means. We argue about whether she's truly the antagonist, and how the movie quietly uses her to open the door for the X-Men in the MCU.From there, we get into the messiest emotional threads: Punisher's chaotic “crazy uncle” energy, the MJ mind-game sequence that weaponizes hope, and the real debate about agency when Peter withholds the truth for years. We also spotlight the scenes that surprised us, like the Ned reunion moment and Aunt May's memory becoming the thing that saves the day. Finally, we talk about the universal inhibitor Peter builds and why it might become a massive mutant problem later, plus our ratings and what we think Marvel is setting up on the road to Doomsday and Secret Wars.If you're into Spider-Man reviews, MCU breakdowns, and X-Men setup speculation, hit play, subscribe, share this with a fellow webhead, and leave a review.

“The X-Files” premiered on the Fox network in September 1993. While the sci-fi mystery show was inspired by earlier series like “The Twilight Zone,” “Twin Peaks,” and “Kolchak: The Night Stalker,” creator Chris Carter tapped into a unique moment in the cultural zeitgeist to produce something even more resonant. The adventures of two outcast FBI agents investigating aliens, monsters, and unexplained phenomena clicked with a burgeoning interest in the paranormal and conspiracy theories, and a growing mistrust in government authority. What began as a cult classic quickly became a pop-culture phenomenon that defined the 1990s, and which continues to hold serious cultural cache. The truth is out there, and we intend to find it as the Great Pop Culture Debate attempts to name the best episode of “The X-Files.” Episodes discussed: “Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose,” “How the Ghosts Stole Christmas,” “Small Potatoes,” “Tooms,” “Squeeze,” “Leonard Betts,” “Quagmire,” “Ice,” “Home,” “Beyond the Sea,” “Humbug,” “Die Hand Die Verletz,” “Bad Blood,” “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster,” “Syzygy,” “The Host” Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Bob Erlenback and Kate Racculia, and special guest author Victor Manibo as they discuss 16 of the very best episodes of “The X-Files,” both from the original run and the 2010s reboot.

An ode to the small, the banal, the overlooked things that make up the fabric of our lives.Most of our stories are about the big stuff: Important or dramatic events, big ideas that transform the world around us or inspire conflict and struggle and change. But most of our lives, day by day or hour by hour, are made up of … not that stuff. Most of our lives are what we sometimes dismissively call “small potatoes.” This week on Radiolab, Heather Radke challenges to focus on the small, the overlook, the everyday … and find out what happens when you take a good hard look at the things we all usually overlook.Special thanks to Moeko Fujii, Kelley Conway, Robin Kelley, Jason Isaacs, and Andrew SemansEPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Heather Radke, Rachael Cusick, and Matt Kieltywith help from - Erica HeilmanProduced by - Annie McEwen and Matt KieltyOriginal music and sound design contributed by - Annie McEwen, Matt Kielty, and Jeremy BloomFact-checking by - Emily Krieger and Diane Kellyand Edited by  - Alex NeasonEPISODE CITATIONS:Audio -Check out Ian Chillag's podcast, Everything is Alive, from Radiotopia.Museums -Learn more about The Museum of Everyday Life, located in Glover, Vermont, here.Newsletter - Heather Radke has a newsletter all about small potatoes.

Please donate to the show!Today we talk about why so-called "state wins" are actually small potatoes.

This is the audio version of the Incorruptible Mass podcast, season 5 episode 36. You can watch the video version on our YouTube channel.You're listening to Incorruptible Mass.

He emphasizes the importance of giving developmental psychology more recognition. 00:07:25 - Humor in Children, While not a focus of his research, Paul acknowledges the significance of humor in children's development. He mentions that incongruity and context play a role in what makes us laugh. 00:10:09 - The Origins of Psych, Paul shares the history of his popular psychology class at Yale and how it led to the creation of the book "Psych." He wanted to reach a larger audience and provide more in-depth information than what could be covered in the course. 00:11:21 - Writing Psych, Paul explains that he wrote Psych based on his course materials and transcribed notes. He aimed to make the book accessible and informative, expanding on the topics covered in the course. 00:14:50 - The Writing Process, Paul and Melina discuss their writing processes and how they approach the task of writing. They touch on topics such as word count, finding inspiration, and managing distractions. 00:16:00 - Different Approaches to Writing, Paul and Melina compare their different approaches to writing. One prefers to work in condensed chunks of time, while the other works in shorter bursts with frequent breaks. They discuss the benefits and challenges of each method. 00:18:20 - Making Writing Fun, Melina highlights the importance of making writing fun and engaging. They discuss the use of literary references, popular culture, and anecdotes to make the writing process more enjoyable and accessible to readers. 00:21:51 - Advice on Improving Business Communications, Melina suggests two chapters from Paul Bloom's book that would be relevant for improving business communications. These chapters focus on reasoning and rationality, as well as finding fulfillment and happiness in life. 00:23:05 - The Crisis in Psychology Melina delves into the crisis in psychology where many studies have failed to replicate and there have been cases of fraud. They emphasize the need for caution when relying on research findings and highlight the fragility of the science. 00:30:46 - The Future of Psychological Studies Paul discusses the improvements in psychological studies, such as larger sample sizes, preregistration, and more theoretically grounded research. He also mentions the importance of meta-analyses to get a clearer understanding of the overall findings. 00:32:06 - Challenges in Generalizing Psychological Findings Paul acknowledges the difficulty in generalizing psychological findings due to the vast individual differences and confounding factors. He suggests that instead of expecting general principles, we should consider that certain interventions may work for some people but not others. 00:34:18 - Striking a Balance between Theoretical and Applied Psychology Paul discusses the balance between theoretical and applied psychology. While applied work can still be done, he suggests that a deeper understanding of the mind in abstract conditions may be more achievable than practical advice due to the complexity of human behavior. 00:35:08 - Unreliability of Memory Paul highlights the unreliability of human memory and how memories are often reconstructions based on experiences and expectations. He mentions the impact of this finding on areas like eyewitness testimony and emphasizes the need for caution when relying solely on memory. 00:39:25 - The Complexities of Job Satisfaction Paul discusses the complexity of job satisfaction, noting that it goes beyond just high salaries or pleasant work environments. Meaning, challenge, and the ability to make a difference are important factors that contribute to job satisfaction, even in lower-paying or less respected professions. 00:46:14 - The Spotlight Effect Paul discusses how people tend to believe that they are the most important person to others, but in reality, everyone is focused on themselves. This phenomenon is known as the spotlight effect. 00:46:37 - Influence and the Spotlight Effect The concept of the spotlight effect is further explored in Vanessa Blonde's episode. The show notes provide more information on this topic. 00:47:18 - Connecting with Paul Bloom To connect with Paul Bloom and learn more about his books, visit his website at paulbloom.net. He also recently started a Substack called Small Potatoes for sharing his thoughts without going through an editor. 00:47:46 - Announcing the Substack Paul announces the launch of his Substack, Small Potatoes, where he will be writing and sharing interesting thoughts and ideas. 00:48:04 -  Conclusion, Melina's top insights from the conversation.
