The High Schooler's Guide to Psychology: Recent Episodes
Ava Phillips
Hello! This is a podcast co-hosted by best friends and twins Kate and Ava, sometimes featuring guest co-hosts. I (Ava) am a high school student hoping to study psychology in college, but I wanted to make sure that I actually enjoyed the material before filling my college class openings with it. With the goal of teaching myself psychology, I started this podcast, where I research a particular topic and then try to teach Kate about it. Of course, this comes with the general disclaimer that I am not a psychological expert in any sense of the word. I hope you guys enjoy our podcast!
Today Kate, Ava, and special guest (Mick) discuss the history of mental health, including: old asylum treatments and abuses, stigmatization, advancements, and asylum portrayal in the media. We hope you enjoy! The video we watched will be linked below and on our Instagram page: @the_hsg_to_psych :)

Hello! And welcome to episode two of THSGtP! As that name suggests, I am a high school student who has never taken a formal psychology class, and this podcast is just my way of teaching psychology to myself.
In episode two, I focus on sensation and perception and talk more about physical science while beginning to dive a bit into more traditional psychological matters. I really enjoyed researching and creating this episode, so I hope y'all enjoy it!

Hello! This is the very first episode of The High Schooler's Guide to Psychology, which is the Podcast where I (Ava) try to teach myself psychology by researching it and then relaying my findings to Kate (and sometimes other co-hosts). As that name suggests, I am a high school student and have never taken a formal psychology class (at least at the time of writing this episode).
This episode focuses on physical science, such as neurotransmitters and the endocrine system, that are essential to have some context of before I can talk about other aspects of psychology. I hope you enjoy it!
