Our shows
So You Want To Be A Psychologist
An insider series on what the route into clinical psychology actually looks like â from motivation and misconceptions to applications, training and career reality.
- Honest discussion of the route into clinical psychology.
- Practical insight into applications, training and work.
- Clear next steps for aspiring psychologists.
So You Want To Be A Psychologist explores the full route into clinical psychology without reducing it to a list of qualifications or application tips.
The series covers motivation, professional roles, the doctorate, assistant psychologist applications, rejection, training and the realities of the career beyond qualification.
This popup is the series-level equivalent of the biography modal: the card remains concise, while deeper context opens only when the visitor chooses it.
Future Podnotes Series
This position shows how a second series can enter the Podnotes platform without changing the structure of the page or adding a new horizontal card row.
- Replace only the image, title and series copy.
- Retain one clear series in view at any time.
- Link into a dedicated series page when it launches.
This second position is intentionally generic. It confirms that the carousel can scale vertically while preserving one focused image-and-copy composition.
When the real series is available, this placeholder can be replaced without changing the controls, transition logic or modal behaviour.
A Flexible Third Series
Additional series can continue to use the same split-card composition, with the arrows rotating through the catalogue instead of expanding the page indefinitely.
- Preserves a clear visual hierarchy as the catalogue grows.
- Avoids compressed multi-column cards and unreadable text.
- Maintains a consistent interaction pattern across series.
This third slot demonstrates that the system is not tied to the first series. Each entry remains independently editable while the carousel controls and popup remain shared.
Once the catalogue becomes large, this section can still act as the featured-series navigator while a separate index page holds the full archive.

Episode trailers
Open an episode to watch its trailer and review the focus of the conversation. Each video field accepts a Vimeo share URL, player URL or numeric video ID.
- Most people who want to be clinical psychologists do not fully understand what the role involves until they are already years into trying to get there.
- Clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, psychiatrist and counselling psychologist are not interchangeable roles. This episode clarifies the differences and the experience each route requires.
- The prospectus version of a clinical psychology doctorate sounds manageable. The reality is different. This episode covers what training actually involves and what to do before applying.
- Over one hundred applicants for one assistant psychologist post is normal. This episode covers CVs, interviews, rejection and the application mistakes candidates often miss.
- Qualification is not the end of the story. The final episode looks at NHS and private practice, leadership, AI and whether the route is worth it.
