Psych Teacher John
John introduces you to introductory psychology by explaining concepts and terms in a simple down-to-earth manner. Inspired by our MCAT students, who asked for podcast about "stories" John tells in class, this podcast was originally conceived to cover the topics in for MCAT Psychology and Sociology. While great for the MCAT, this series should be accessible for anyone interested in learning about psychology and what makes people do what they do (from a scientific perspective)!
