Shrink The Nation is a psychology podcast about politics, media, and American insanity — hosted by board-certified psychiatrists who drink bourbon and actually know what they’re talking about.

Each week, we take whatever the news is lighting on fire and ask a better question:
What the hell is going on psychologically?

We break down current events as they’re actually experienced — through fear, ego, narcissism, tribalism, and spectacle — and explain why smart people keep getting pulled into dumb arguments.

This isn’t a lecture.

It’s a conversation.

We argue with each other, bust each other’s balls, laugh at the absurdity, and use real psychology to make the chaos intelligible — without yelling, moralizing, or pretending everything’s fine.

You’ll hear sharp psychological takes on politics and culture, explanations that make you say “ohhh… that makes sense,” dark humor, bourbon-fueled honesty, and frameworks you can reuse when the next news cycle melts down.

We’re not here to calm you down.

We’re here to help you see clearly — and enjoy the process.

Shrink The Nation is for anyone who wants to understand what’s happening, laugh a little at the madness, and come back next week feeling smarter than they did last time.
