Coping With Labels
Are you Type A or Type B? (Justice for Type C !)Maybe the label you’ve given yourself feels grounding (and that’s okay!). Maybe it’s limiting – something you’ve been trying to shake off..? Or maybe you’ve turned a label into a sort of playbook, a personality shorthand we were never really meant to rely on.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson dive into self‑imposed labels – dissecting the logic (and smoky origin story) of Myers‑Briggs, comparing their own Enneagram results as they unpack the universal urge to categorise ourselves, and investigating whether you can ever truly shake off a label once it’s been culturally assigned… sometimes en masse (Raygun made peace with hers two years post-Olympics – and you probably would too with Sammy Sex in your corner).TikTok’s Obsessed With “Type A” and “Type B” Personality Types - Here’s Why by Keyaira Boone, CosmopolitanThe Carl Jung Quote You’ll Love Based on Your Myers-Briggs Personality by Susan Storm, Psychology JunkeeMindfulness by Dr Ellen LangerThank You For Smoking: How Big Tobacco Created the ‘Type A’ Personality MythUncertainty-identity theory Hogg, M.A, in Advances in Experimental Social Psychology, Vol. 39Schema Theory in Psychology by Charlotte Nickerson, Simply Personality Isn’t Permanent by Benjamin HardyAll I Ever Wanted Was To Be Hot by Lucinda Froomes PriceThe Psychopath Test by Jon RonsonUntold: Raygun Breaking Badly, NetflixWant to support our show?

Coping With Surveillance
We’re being watched: by surveillance cameras, safety tools, strangers in public, our own devices, and now by wearable tech that turns every interaction into potential content. Observation has become the ambient condition – part convenience, part paranoia.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson unpack the psychology of being observed in how it shapes the calculated self, mull over the ethical questions raised by the latest wave of wearable tech like Meta Glasses, and confess the accidental data breaches from their own lives. It seems that the next era of surveillance culture might reshape our inner lives long before legislation ever catches up.Modernising Australia’s Privacy Laws for the Digital Age, Attorney-General Michelle Rowland’s press releaseI Feel So Sorry For My AI Sunglasses by Sam Anderson, New York TimesMeta’s Smart Ray-Ban Glasses Let Me Live in the Moment.

Coping with Revenge
We root for revenge plots in our tv shows (beware: House of the Dragon spoilers ahead!), appeal to a sense of karmic justice, hunt for it in celebrity narratives, and even fantasise about getting our own one day.This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson unpack the psychology of vengeance, why it feels so titillating, and whether the payoff is ever what we had hoped. Plus, why do we cheer louder when women and marginalised characters finally get their moment? A reminder that revenge stories often tell us more about our cultural hunger for balancing the scales than the act itself ever could.☆ Are you a creative looking for support?

Coping With Memory
We’d like to think our memories are fixed but most of us are running on vibes, fragments, and deeply emotional edits n reedits. Our brains so easily forget the “important” stuff, cling to the weirdest details, and seemingly rewrite entire chapters without permission. And the things we actually do remember often says more about who we are now than whatever happened way back when. This week, Alice Griffin (resident unreliable narrator) and Jannah Anderson (she’s got receipts) dive into the mechanics of how memory actually works, the psychology behind recall, the fear of forgetting, and the stories we build from our own mental archives. And how much are we already outsourcing to Big Tech from a scale of 1-that Black Mirror episode?? ☆ Are you a creative looking for support?

Coping With Boredom
Boredom has gone from something we avoid to something we curate – a new metric in the self‑care economy to measure ourselves by. From 'rawdogging boredom' challenges to the obsession with performing “slow creativity,” we’re told stillness is a portal to a better, more imaginative self. But the research is messy, and our lived experiences even more so. This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson dig into the neuroscience of boredom, the rise of the serial hobbyist, the existential itches that keep us chasing novelty, and the cultural urge to make boredom meaningful – even when the moments in between fail to deliver us anything profound.☆ Are you a creative looking for support?

Coping With Doomsday
Doomsday prepping has gone mainstream. What was once a fringe fixation tucked away on conspiracy forums has morphed into a booming industry, with everyday people stockpiling, strategising, and spending (a lot) in the name of “being prepared.”This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson sit with the existential threats uniquely shaping our generation, the preppers taking that fear to its furthest extreme, the brands that saw an opportunity to sell safety, and ultimately ask whether a state of hypervigilance actually soothes our anxiety or just feeds it. After all, what’s worse: the apocalypse (and the world’s least satisfying “I told you so”), or realising you spent your life waiting for it?Prepper Used To Be A Dirty Word.

Coping With Closure
We’re taught to crave closure – the tidy explanation, the perfectly heartfelt apology, the moment where we SEE Idris Elba push the button (or not… idk go watch ‘A House of Dynamite’ and tell us your take).This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson explore our obsession with resolution: where it comes from, whether it’s even possible, and why some of us need a definitive finish while others move through life more content with the grey. And how are we supposed to cope if closure never shows up??☆ Are you a creative looking for support?

Coping With Crashing Out
After decades of being sold the idea, especially as women, that the regulated self is the healthy self, we’re collectively hitting breaking point. This week, Alice Griffin and Jannah Anderson are onboard to analyse the shift – all stations to crash out central. We cover the big‑feelings energy of Gracie Abrams’ new Look At My Life music vid, the unsettled debate between catharsis and suppression, the reality tv blow-ups that raised us, and the 72‑part internet dramas that are maybe a little too much (even for us).☆ Flavour up your Dry July with Angostura Bitters.
