Mehr The Dick Effect

The Dick Effect is a podcast that aims to decode the language of our society. Our everyday language is peppered with phrases that we don't think about before using. Whether it's men to women, women to women, men to men, people to people, there are dick things that we say to each other. We want to talk about this language, look at where it comes from and ask you all, just take a second to think about what it means to you before you use it again. Women swearing is so unladylike!Boys will be boys!Ah give us a smile love!I'm not like other girls!You'll feel different when it's your own!Grow some balls man!Are you on your period or something? Girls with tattoos are sluts!She's just a prick tease!What were you wearing? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode Going Viral, the Strangest of Things Cover

Going Viral, the Strangest of Things

In this episode, Abigail unpacks what it's like to go viral. A video on her science-themed TikTok blew up, clocking up 1 million in less than a week. We talk about how misinformation is amplified by the algorithm on social media, whereas factual content is left drifting far behind.  We also dip into the conspiracy theory that pushed her to make the viraltok. Spoiler alert... It's CERN and how they've opened portals to different dimensions. Double spoiler alert, CERN haven't done that! We will also take a break over the Summer to research some dickish things to come back with a new format for the Dick Effect! We feel that often when we cover a topic, there is much we have to miss out on due to time constraints, So we will come back with a series with more guests who will help us to explore the dickish things in society. Big love. And we will be back soon.

Let's let go of the F*uckery with a meditation (Again)

This is a repost! We are taking a break from our usual schedule because life is pretty lifey, so we are practicing what we preach and doing some well needed self-care. Megan is going to lead us through a meditation to 'let go of the fuckery.' We all need it right?? A very short meditation to relax, chill and journey to the land of zero fucks. In case you want to hear some of Megan's other Meditations you can find them here. [https://mindolistic.co.uk/#95e242e0-1e75-4e3d-b992-244600ea88df] Let us know what you think! We'll be back very soon with a main episode.
