The Deductionist Podcast

Here we go starting the look at Manipulation tactics inspired by the recent stint of Matt Hancock in the Im a Celeb jungle. Its a wide start to this but we will narrow it in, in future episodes.

So it is no secret that I have been developing a Sherlock Holmes level skill set for decades now. However it is also something since the rise of Youtube that a lot of people will read a book and make some sharp observation to feel smart and then bask in the glow of followers and comments. With the past week i have had, I have had some of the most profound discussions surrounding the harm that this...

Jeffrey Dahmer is one of those people that, after looking at the professionals who have published papers online about him, seems to be unconfirmed. They disagree about his causes and his effects and in all this, the one person who doesn't seem to disagree is Dashmer himself. We decided to have a look at the analysis of one of the many interviews he gave before he was killed in prison. This is some...

Would you notice a psychopath if one walked past you in the halls? Let's take a look at what it takes to spot one before we have a look at some fully fledged examples.

Most days I am sent something from the main stream media to peruse and most of the time they are disregarded simply because celebrity scandals are the least interesting thing ever. Sad for the folks involved, but as I am not involved, I think it is ok to say that. The Adam Levine saga was sent to me by a friend of mine and attached was the simple statement that he felt these were the worst apologi...

To say he is just my dog is to do him the biggest disservice one could do to another person. In honour of my brother from another species mother, Cookie, as it is his 17th Birthday tomorrow, we are going to look at the power that dogs hold from the observation of non-verbal communication. As there is so much we can look at we will turn this into kind of a mini series of sorts. We also have an unbo...

News of the tragic death of The Queen broke a few moments before we started the stream for this one so we thought it best to start by talking a little bit about her and the implications surrounding her passing. Then I stumbled across some thoughts that Lizz had regarding the monarchy and it all became very relevant to what we were doing as the content for the evening. Lizz Truss and the explanatio...

I was recently sent a document by one of my colleagues that used to work for the C.I.A because he thought it would be up my street. In this document I saw a manual that I had assumed years ago was something that just a gimmicked name for a book in order for it to be sold. I was wrong.  This booklet is based on the work of a magician that was paid $3000 during the cold war to detail methods of...

The responses that are made physically when finding words should be monitored in line with comfort and dexterity with the language.  We take a look at my free 1 hour coa...

Welcome back to another episode everyone! Today we continue looking at the world like Sherlock. In that, if i asked how much information a bookcase could actually tell us, there would be some people who would just say books and then leave it at that.
