Ottawhat 81 – Natalie Poirier
–
by
This week, we had Natalie Poirier on Ottawhat. She did a 6-week hike all alone across Ontario in support of angioma research, and she raised money under the name “The Brain Venture”. It was a really cool story hearing what she put herself through for the cause, and all the interesting things we don’t really…
A Big Day

It only makes sense that exactly three years (to the day) after doing my very first video on YouTube, I would cross the threshold of actually earning real money from Google. Let me tell you the story. For a little over a year, starting on July 4, 2011, I had been writing on my blog…

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
–
by
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…

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. Future Chat is a ton of fun and if you haven’t listened in a while (or ever), I would strongly…
Ottawhat 78 – Ours is the Fury Podcast
–
by
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)
–
by
*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…

by
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.
