Description

The Human Petri Dish

Where human behaviour gets delightfully messy

Welcome to the Lab… and Today!

Hosted by Andrew Boyton, The Human Petri Dish is where we place the wild, messy, and fascinating experiment of being human under the microscope.

This curious and slightly mischievous podcast explores the raw realities of life, relationships, leadership, culture, and technology and how they collide in the modern world. Andrew blends his expertise in leadership, psychotherapy, research, and relational theory with guests who challenge assumptions, puncture myths, and offer sharp insights with unflinching curiosity.

What You’ll Get

  • Thought-provoking, sometimes uncomfortable conversations that make you reflect on trust, power, silence, and reciprocity.
  • Unexpected perspectives on personal and professional life, inviting deeper understanding of human behaviour.
  • A mix of serious insight and playful exploration, from dating and family life to teams, leadership, and culture.

For You If…

You're curious about people, fascinated by relationships, and want to explore the hidden forces shaping your personal and professional world. Whether you're a leader, a parent, a partner, or simply a human, this podcast is for you.

Why Listen Now

Because understanding ourselves and others is an experiment worth running — and here, we make the lab fun, quirky, and sometimes a little uncomfortable. Gain clarity, laugh a little, and leave with insights that stick.
