Don't Be a Tool of Social Media

Don't Be a Tool of Social Media

Author: Popped Collar Productions August 25, 2014 Duration: 43:31

Mike, Raney Mills, and Dwight discuss how to be healthy with Social Media.


Ever wondered what happens when you take the serious, often intimidating world of psychology and run it through a filter of genuine curiosity and humor? That’s the space where The Broken Brain lives. Produced by Popped Collar Productions, this podcast sits at a unique crossroads between education and comedy, offering a therapist’s perspective without the sterile clinic feel. Each episode is structured as an organized panel discussion, gathering voices to unpack a wide variety of topics-some unexpectedly silly, others leaning into practical, self-help territory. You’ll hear real therapeutic points of view applied to everyday life, all within a conversation that feels more like a lively chat among insightful friends than a lecture. The result is an hour (ish) of content that aims to demystify mental health concepts while acknowledging the inherent messiness and humor of being human. Tuning in provides a refreshing blend of learning and levity, making complex ideas accessible and surprisingly entertaining. This isn't about jargon or quick fixes; it's about thoughtful exploration with a dose of relatability. The panel format ensures multiple angles are considered, offering listeners a richer understanding than a single host could provide. So, whether you're navigating your own challenges or just fascinated by how minds work, this podcast delivers a compelling mix of insight and irreverence.
