It's my great pleasure to introduce The Psychology Podcast with Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, where we give you insights into the mind, brain, behavior and creativity. Each episode will feature a guest who will stimulate your mind, and give you a greater understanding of your self, others, and the world we live in. Hopefully, we’ll also provide a glimpse into human possibility!

Why this podcast? Well, I really enjoy talking to interesting and creative people, learning from people, and debating and discussing different perspectives. What better way to do that then have a regular podcast where I get to share the fruits with others? Also, I feel like there are SO MANY podcasts that keep featuring the same guests over and over again, when there are so many awesome people out there doing work in psychology who rarely get appreciated or noticed. Sure, I'll be having some of the more well known guests on my show. But I will also be featuring lots of folks who deserve a voice.
