Hosted by Dr. Aiden Hirshfield, Media Psychologist, Consultant, and Researcher. Media Psyched is all about our relationships with media, the cause and AH-ffect, and the incredible ways that we humans are using media to transform ourselves and the world around us. I’ll talk about some of my favorite subjects like video games, virtual and augmented reality, digital art, User Experiences, the Psychology of persuasion, cognitive dissonance, Gestalt theory, and why it all matters. I am so passionate about media psychology because I know it has an impact on EVERYONE and EVERYTHING in our modern world, we can no longer ignore it’s power and influence. That’s been true for many years, yet many of us are just becoming media literate. That’s a whole can of worms we’ll definitely be opening up...quite frequently in fact. What’s more, we’ll be hearing riveting and powerful stories about all sorts of mediums and technology from a diverse range of people from an infinite array of fields, backgrounds, and experiences (a lot of whom I am lucky enough to call friends). And, as a trans and queer identified person, I am dedicated to cultivating an inclusive space that uplifts and shares the voices and experiences of marginalized people. I’ll talk about my work at the intersection of media and gender and sexuality and bring in influencers, experts, and interesting folks to talk about these nuanced areas. I hope you’ll join me for Media Psyched, coming to your favorite streaming apps soon. Subscribe on Spotify or Apple, or follow us @mediapsychedpodcast on Instagram for updates!
