  • Explaining Superman's Outfit
    2025/06/02

    Why does Superman wear his underwear over his tights? Why the cape, the bright colours, and the chest logo? In this episode Dr Matt Williams is joined by Oxford history undergraduates Andy and Danny to unravel the surprising historical, cultural, and psychological origins behind Superman’s iconic costume.


    As well as discussing circus strongmen, Nietzsche's Übermensch, and American patriotism in comic book subcultures, this episode explores;

    - The visual psychology behind Superman’s look

    - How masculinity and power are coded in superhero design

    - Why Clark Kent’s hair parting matters

    - The shift from traditional superheroes to anti-heroes

    - Superman vs Batman, postmodernism, and politics

  • Thirst for Power
    2025/05/26

    Why do some people thirst for power, even when it brings stress, scrutiny, and responsibility?

    Dr Matt Williams is joined by History student Charlie and Digital Access Officer Imaan to explore the psychology, politics, and cultural roots of power.


    From superhero myths to prime ministers, we explore;

    What is power — and who decides who gets it?

    Why are we drawn to powerful figures?

    Does a desire for power stem from fear or ambition?

    Why have some countries seem more powerful than others?

  • What is Intelligence?
    2025/05/19

    Dr. Matt Williams, Imaan (Digital Access Officer and English graduate) and Uzumma (first-year Law student) tackle one of the biggest, most complex questions of all time: What is Intelligence?


    From Einstein to Mozart, IQ tests to emotional intelligence, and from brain biology to social myths—we explore what makes someone "intelligent," how intelligence is measured (or mismeasured), and whether it’s something you're born with or something you build.


    We also discuss;


    The flaws of IQ tests 🧾


    Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences 🔢🎨🗣️


    Emotional vs. logical intelligence ❤️🧠


    Nature vs. nurture in intelligence development 🧬🌱


    Real-life study habits & self-belief tips 📚
