The Deductionist Podcast

in a bid to try and put our money where our mouths are we set upon some rather fanciful problems to see how far our reasoning skills could try and come to a conclusion about the out come may have been reached. Everything from magic to fish and then of course, possession by demons! Naturally, right? We have been joined again by friend of the show Liam O Neill whose moniker is 'The Prove It Guy' and...

So it is no secret that i have an obsession with development of memory and observation! Now is the time that we start to bring this to the masses. Sherlocks Memory Secrets is cerebral skill that is only ever going to serve you. Techniques that are only every going to make your life easier! This is the programme that I wish I had when I was training years ago! This is the programme that covers all...

Body language breakdown! Now in terms of my schedule, this is a little out of sorts as this is technically a podcast episode! But, this is the follow on from the first part that ran last week! An indepth discussion of Prince Andrew's Body Language. Which FYI, contained one of the funniest hate comments I have ever gotten! Check the comments out to have a look at that!  Me and Adam sit down to...

There are a select that are familiar with the work of Michael Murray and those that are, are richer for the experience! During this podcast Michael shares his thoughts on how he tackles problems, puzzles and lateral thinking and the applications of these towards how we tackle things of a more deductive nature! Even down to the way that he set about tackling the simple issue of the lottery, and you...

Arguably my opinion is very biased so this week we pick the brains of Adam! Someone who did not spend his formative youth obsessing over the little details and movements of people in different situations! Why does this hold such a sway for people around the world in one form or another?  Whether you are involved in this world or you aren't. ACT 3 IS OUT NOW! Click here to find the E-scape roo...

Hi Guys In this episode we take a look at something seemingly quite niche when it comes to the kind of non verbal details that can be seen. Coming from our teeth! Understanding of dietary habits, smoking, mood swings and even whether you are pregnant or not. Our teeth really do have a lot to say to us! So listen up, get your floss out (not that dance thing) and get deducing! ACT 3 IS OUT NOW! Clic...

Now as many of you may or may not know, at the time this was recorded I have Covid. This sickness is no joke let me tell you! This episode is in as a follow up to the channel publication I had made a few days earlier in relation to training with Covid. So many people ask on a daily basis 'How can I train during lockdown' so the video's intended purpose goes into detail to understand the methods I...

In this episode we take a look at what is to come for us and 2022. Optimism and hope and a zest for.....nevermind haha Anyway, one of the discovered games that you can use for training is Geoguessing. It is by no means a secret as there are many streamers that go through use of this for hours on end. For us though in terms of sharpening our Rational processing and gaining feedback of information t...

Due to the ongoing battle between the pseudoscience on youtube and the scientific community, we seek to try and do our part to show what can and can not be done with this type of video. We have set ourselves the challenge of doing the breakdown, LIVE. No cuts or edits to the dialogue, only the background when you watch the video version. Hope you enjoy or at least get some knowledge out if it! Eve...

In an episode that is completely off the beaten track in that it is relaxed and fun and detailed....haha we catch up with my old friend Tom. Tom Carter was the stage manager for my very first theatrical outing and we have been friends for a very long time. So we are just sharing war stories of old things that we used to get up to, tests that i used to take and performances as well as well as some...

Hi Everyone! Welcome back to another episode of the podcast ladies and gentlemen. In this weeks show we started off with a plan, we were initially set to discuss the nature of the body language discussion video and things took a decidedly different turn. We decided to take on a live read of some of the people involved in the TV show First Impressions. A show in which a few people are introduced to...

Hi guys! Welcome back to another episode of the podcast. In this episode we take a look at something that many readers of people don't often consider; someone's accent. What the sounds they make can mean, what stories they have to tell in between the actual stories that they have to tell. Could you spot a brummie from a cockney? Could you spot the Americans from the Canadians and what does it mean...

Welcome back everyone! In this episode we bring back the realities of what Sherlock Holmes has started in the world. In this episode we start by taking a look at (arguably) Conan Doyles most infamous case that he actually worked on and managed to assist in solving. All using his observational skills! George Edalji would have spent a lot longer in prison were it not for the moustachioed wizardry of...

Hi guys Bit of an odd episode, off the beaten track as it were. However this needs to be a major consideration (in our opinion) if you are going to successfully use your noodle, no pun intended. I am hoping that ever this episode we will all question the hipster movement and their affinity for avocados! Eating, training and training and eating! wooohoooo! ACT 3 IS OUT NOW! Click here to find the E...

Given that I now have him back for this episode I thought it would be best to finish the study of House MD in terms of his relevance towards the world we live in and how to better tackle the problems we face. How far does this resonate with you in terms of being above the nitty gritty of entanglement and the problems that biases can create. Would the world not be better off if we just said what we...

in this episode episode I am not only flying solo (thanks adam) but we are also taking a look at the deeper content of House MD and some of the points that we can take away for what we do as readers of people and solving of problems. Lets put aside some of the more outlandish things that he does, but look at the content. Get rid of as much of the entanglement from the irrelevances as possible. Don...

First of all, let me apologise for this episode in advance as we were both incredibly sleep deprived. As a result there is a lot more of our usual "humour" than normal. In this episode we take a detailed look at how and when to apply the -uctions as i affectionately entitle them. Deductive, inductive and abductive reasoning! Through this we take a look at exactly what they are and if the titles of...

Welcome back folks. In this episode we take a look at the Language of deduction and how to pull apart meaning and nuance based on those things that very often slip by us. The actual words that people say! The content is massively important and of singular significance when looking at the motivating thoughts behind action. Spotlighting a case study on Lance Armstrong! ACT 3 IS OUT NOW! Click here t...

In this episode we look at the gabby Petito incident in more detail. From the video that i made on reviewing the body camera footage of when poor Ms. Petito was pulled over it became abundantly clear that there was much too much information to get into during the episode. This was what formulated the basis for our podcast episode. Me and Adam breakdown the motivations for the behaviours seen and c...

This is a very special episode for us! I initially created the podcast to be quite linear in detail and then as it evolved it has become more and more than I ever thought possible. In this episode we take a look back at some of the things that we have been able to accomplish over the last year, in lockdown. Some of the guests, the discussions, the filming and above all, THE WORK! We are so very gr...

Hi Everyone! In this episode we take a look at some of the more harmful myths surrounding how we are supposed to detect lies. What is the polygraph and can it really tell when people are lying and if not, how many lives has it effectively trashed? Are women better at this than men? Do we look in specific ways when we tell lies and in relation to the rest of our body? Do we say specific words and m...

In this episode we take a look at where bias comes from and how we can best use this to our advantage. It is something that can illuminate those that we are reading but we should never forget the potential pitfalls that we can face as a result of our own biases. Is it car crash tv and justin bieber that stops you from thinking critically or is it a world of other things? Listen on to find out more...

In this episode we take a reminiscent look at my wedding and how I kept my training up even during the big day. As my wife got me a lovely message from the wonderful human that is Corbin Bernsen, me and adam have decided to take a reflective look at why Henry Spencer might be one of the most important characters from the hit show Psych when it comes to the development of acute observational skills...

Better late than never! The episode should have been out on the friday just gone, but I got married and was on my honeymoon. So here it is!  We are looking at what is (in my opinion anyway) a technique in memorisation and observation work that is very often overlooked - Chunking. What is it? How does it work? Why is useful to us in the world of reading people and observation? Listen on to fin...

in this episode I take a look at a statement that was posed to me by one of my very good friends. Are youtube videos on body language worthwhile and are the ones that are out there, nothing more than self congratulatory masturbation? It is a valid and significant point! One that does need further investigation from everyone! More specifically, everyone who is interested in this field as experts do...
