The Psych Files is a Psychology podcast hosted by Michael A. Britt, Ph.D. I release 2-3 episodes a month, each about 20-30 minutes long.

My goal with the podcast is to:
- Discuss current events in the light of psychological theories.
- Share observations of human behavior and tie them to ideas from psychology.
- Review recent research in psychology that is of interest to a wide audience.
- Interview authors and researchers about their work in the field.
I want to get you as excited and interested in psychology as I am. The approach I take to discussing psychology is informal and, hopefully, engaging.
The podcast is not intended for any particular course, but certainly will be useful to those taking courses in psychology.
If you are a researcher in psychology and you have done a study that you think would interest the Psych Files audience feel free to contact me and let me know about it.
I invite you to listen to a few episodes and subscribe to The Psych Files in either iTunes, Zune, or your favorite blog reader.
Thanks for your interest!
Michael Britt

Hi there,
I just wanted to express my extreme appreciation for your podcasts Michael! They are exactly what I needed to pass my first psychology course. I ended up with a dud for a teacher (The only part of the brain we covered in class was the corpus callosum surgery to help with epilepsy!!). I knew there were teachers like you out there, your students are very lucky!! I wish I could be in your class!!!
THANKYOU for teaching me how to correlate different things to help remember them!!
Keep up the great work please!!
