ISC Classic 21: Asch, Milgram, and Stanford

ISC Classic 21: Asch, Milgram, and Stanford

Originally Released July 20, 2017 I've always been interested in three psychology experiments that study human behavior. They are the Asch Experiment, the Milgram Experiment, and the Stanford Prison Experiment. Dave Brodbeck joins me to actually talk about the field that he actually teaches (he also teaches statistics, which we've discussed) at Algoma University is Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. We also discuss how the latter two of these experiments shaped research ethics today. Wikipedia Links:Asch Conformity ExperimentsMilgram ExperimentStanford Prison Experiment

Cleveland History: Ten Cent Beer Night

Cleveland History: Ten Cent Beer Night

On June 4, 1974, the Cleveland Indians hosted the Texas Rangers at  Cleveland Stadium in a rematch from the previous week. With Cleveland  media fanning the flames all week long, and a ten cent beer promotion  the night of the first game of the series, something was bound to  happen...and it did.

Cleveland History: The Mistake On The Lake (R)

Cleveland History: The Mistake On The Lake (R)

This is a repost of a previously published episode. Welcome to a new series here in the Club. This series is just me, talking about the history, the stories, and the oddities that make Cleveland what it is. It's a series that's a long time coming and the project itself has gone through several incarnations before I finally decided on this. The episodes won't be terribly long, maybe 20 minutes at the most, but I hope to tell you the listener why you should give Cleveland another chance.

ISC Classic 28: AlienCG Exposed

ISC Classic 28: AlienCG Exposed

I used to be somewhat of a conspiracy theorist. I believed primarily in  the alien coverup from the 1940s and believed that we were put on this  planet until we could rejoin the rest of the alien community peaceably.  Heavy D joined me as we also discuss woo and the conversation goes a bit  off the rails for a little while.
