Episode 130 - Dr. Josh Bullock - Weekday Worldviews - Update

Joining me for this episode is returning guest Dr. Josh Bullock.

Josh is part of the team behind Weekday Worldviews, a sociological project which in 2023 began investigating the relationships between personal worldviews and psychological well-being amongst those attending public psychic events in the UK. He was my guest for episode 114 of the podcast, where we discussed the project, the subjects it was looking at and the methods to gather information.

In the interview for this episode Josh returns to discuss the project findings in more detail. To begin with we briefly go over the background to Weekday Worldviews and its methodology, and Josh shares his own experience of attending a Psychic Night at a pub in Bristol. After that we look at some of the answers given by people who took the project survey and sat down for interviews. It reveals some very interesting insights into the differences between the ways people view the truth of something and understanding it, the role of science in determining that, psychological attitudes towards death and grieving and personal belief in a wide range of paranormal phenomena.
