You’ve heard us attempt to unpack and analyze the actions of characters like Geralt, Yennefer, Triss and Ciri, but this week, we’re bringing on a professional! Dr. Rachel Kowert is a research psychologist, award winning author, and the editor of the brand-new book, The Psychgeist of Pop Culture: The Witcher, which looks at life on the Continent through a psychological lens. Dr. Kowert discusses how this insightful new book came together, what The Witcher can teach us about ourselves, which character everyone wanted to write about, and how she got Geralt himself—voice actor Doug Cockle—to pen the first chapter. Plus, we pair the book with not one, but two different whiskeys! Be sure to follow Dr. Rachel Kowert on Twitter at @DrKowert and find her online at www.rkowert.com. You can buy or download a complimentary PDF of The Psychgeist of Pop Culture: The Witcher at https://press.etc.cmu.edu/books/psychgeist-pop-culture.
