    Future Chat 80 – We’re Not Eating The Bugs Yet

    Mike and I joined up again for another fun episode, despite that fact that Nick was once again unable to join us. I talked about the results of my one year plus experiment with personal hygiene. Tune in to hear what I did, and how things turned out.

    Ottawhat 80 – Chris Bailey

    This week on the podcast, we caught up with Chris Bailey. He was on the show before, talking about his Year of Productivity and how he was writing a book. Now, he’s done the book and talked with us about the process and how productivity has changed his life. Chris is always a fun guest!

    Future Chat 79 – Shoving the Gene In

    Future Chat this week was a fun chat between Mike and I about genetically modified foods, the Tesla recall, and a recent experiment on self-control with kids and raisins. We also got into a good discussion of online forums in the aftershow. Given the recent changes to Google+, we questioned the validity of wild-west type…

    Ottawhat 79 – Mayor Jim Watson

    In a really great series of events in the last couple of months, we got to interview the mayor of Ottawa, Jim Watson, on Ottawhat this week. It was a really great time and I’m so glad we got the chance to do that. Hopefully it will lead to even bigger and better things for…

    Future Chat 78 – Overrun by Cod

    This week on Future Chat, we discussed the food industry in some detail, some interesting data on how to change the mind of an anti-vaxxer, and more interesting energy projects going on around the world.

    Ottawhat 78 – Ours is the Fury Podcast

    This week on Ottawhat, we talked a fair bit about soccer, the sport I love most in the world. Our local soccer team is in the championship of the NASL (North American Soccer League) this Sunday against New York, after an amazing fall run where they only lost once in 20 games!

    Future Chat 77 – So Much Swiping (BONUS: Snapchat after-show)

    *The Snapchat portion of the after-show begins around 1:34:15* Future Chat is a really fun part of each week for me. Sometimes, we’ve ended up kind of regurgitating the news and not really getting too in-depth in discussion. That didn’t happen this week. We ended up having really great conversations about the future of science…

  • East Meets West 12 – My Eyes Are Up Here

    East Meets West 12 – My Eyes Are Up Here

    On East Meets West, Nick and I talked about Canada’s new Cabinet, how our applications to the Liberal Party are going, and follow up our conversation on toplessness. The episode makes me pretty happy.

    Ottawhat 77 – Poppa Bean Coffee

    This week on Ottawhat, it’s a very special episode, featuring Paul Foster from Poppa Bean Coffee. We also got a new set of mics, so it sounds great! But even better than that, we’re launching the very first contest we’ve ever done. You can enter this week to win a free ticket for a Brew…

  • Election Day

    Election Day

    This weekend, we had an international podcast on East Meets West. Matt “Tom” Staroste joined us from Australia to discuss the election that’s upon us today. And while you might not have time to listen to the whole 2 hour podcast today before polls close, I really encourage you to listen to Matt’s and Nick’s…
