First of all, sorry for the late upload! With finals and work terms starting up, we got a bit sidetracked, but we're back to the regular two-week schedule now! This week we have a bit of a unique topic, primarily geared towards an older audience. I don't want to spoil it too much, but there's deep fakes, virtual reality, even a guest appearance by Canada's most popular website! We hope you enjoy this "unique" episode...

Quarantine Special

This week we have a special episode for you; trying to help take your mind off what's going on in the world... Instead of discussing two main topics, we're going to look at a bunch of stories that you may have missed because of the focus on COVID-19. We hope to bring a little light and positivity with this episode, and some tips on how to keep your chin up during the quarantine. Some of these stories came from this AskReddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/foslu3/if_covid19_wasnt_dominating_the_news_right_now/ We also made some jokes about COVID-19 in this episode, and we just want to state that these jokes were made with the intent to lighten up the mood, and in no way are meant to offend anyone who has been affected by the virus or disregard the impact of the virus. If we inadvertently hurt anyone, please let us know, and we apologize for that. From all of us here at the podcast, we wish you and your families safety and health during this time!

...Coronavirus & Imposter Syndrome

Now I know what you're thinking, just another group of people giving their opinion on how Coronavirus is gonna bring doomsday upon us... Well, you'd be somewhat correct, but not in the same way everyone else is talking about it. We're gonna take a look at the tech world, how it's being impacted, and what could be in store for the future. And since it's hiring season, we wanted to touch on imposter syndrome, what it is, and provide some uneducated tips on what you can do to lessen its impact. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoy the show and we'll be uploading more frequently going forward so thanks for sticking with us!

Well hello again everyone! I suppose we should wish you all a Happy New Year even though it's been a month already. Though with the craziness of January I think we can all agree to restart 2020 in February and continue on as if January never happened... We have made it our new year resolution to post more frequently and aim for a more regular schedule, so thanks for staying tuned and checking back on our episodes, hopefully it'll be a bit easier going forward! This week we have a pretty chill intro to 2020 with a discussion on TikTok, China, Byte (tune in to find out what this is!) and much more. We also touch on a hot topic that nearly makes us Feel the Bern!

We wanted to give those of you celebrating Christmas a nice surprise gift the day before with a brand new episode! For those of you not celebrating, hopefully this makes your week a little more enjoyable nonetheless... This week we take off into some discussion on electric flight, the feasibility, and something Canadians (especially in Vancouver) should be very proud of! We also upload ourselves into the YouTube universe and discuss privacy, advertising, and children's rights. All this and so much more just behind the play button! We wish you all a great Holiday and a fantastic New Year, and we'll catch you all again in 2020!

Hey, it's your favourite trio back with another episode! This week we take on internet governance, explain what the GDPR is, and why you should care about California's latest law no matter where you are in the world. After that, we dig into the four-day workweek and share our takes on why this would be good or bad. And of course, we'll have a fact-off, a new segment, and an old segment (tune in to find out which one!) to keep you entertained and informed!Thanks as always for listening, we're always looking for feedback whether you enjoy it or not.
