It's not real!
It’s Not Real is the podcast that takes a scalpel to the stories we tell ourselves. Hosted by Dr Paul Harrison, consumer psychologist, academic, and media commentator, each episode unpacks the real evidence behind why we do what we do, how the world actually works, and the myths we cling to in order to make life a little easier. From marketing spin to social norms, from economic fictions to psychological blind spots, It’s Not Real cuts through the noise with sharp analysis, candid conversations, and a healthy dose of skepticism. Because sometimes, the things we believe… just aren’t real.

9: Merging the Digital World with Behavioural Insights
In this episode of The Lab at Deakin, Paul is joined by Gemma Anderson, Director of Performance and Growth, Deakin University and Dr Gini Weber, Chair of the Psychology and Marketing program in Deakin Business School. Paul and his guests discussed the benefits and limitations of data and analysis, how the online world has changed the way we interact with one another, and the importance of a sophisticated view of segmentation.
This episode is a recorded seminar that was originally presented as part of Deakin's MBA In Context component in the Marketing, Positioning and Consumer Unit and was recorded with guests (and Paul) keeping at least 1.5 km apart (that's the rule, isn't it?) by talking to each other via Zoom.
