In the show, Robert mentions the following websites:

It's time for a makeover, and a new name.

I want the podcast to be able to dive into the psychology behind our everyday lives and speak with incredible minds about a range of amazing topics. Limiting the podcast to the areas of psychology that influences design is too narrow and so I want to expand it. And with that, I felt that it needed a name change.

So, welcome to Everything’s Psychology!
