code{}school season 1 was an adventurous project that took us through the wonders of learning the basics of coding. With Season 1 wrapped up Olafur (professor extraordinaire) and Gabe (dumb student) sit down to recap what went on behind the scenes, our favorite moments, what we learned, and where we'll head (SPOILER ALERT) with season 2!

With the Swedish winter approaching, Hamish chats to Collaboration Coordinator Micki Buie about what it's like to be staring down her first Swedish winter and why there's absolutely nothing that should dissuade anyone from doing the same. Crochet? Gaming? Ice Hockey? This podcast has it all! Also, want to learn how to pronounce "Toronto" properly? We've got you covered.

Some people say "never meet your heroes". We say, "screw that, Skid said yes!" In today's podcast, Hamish sits down to talk to Skid Maher from the Glass Cannon Network.

They chat about who's the best and worst of their rag-tag bunch and why being a professional roleplayer may just be the best darn thing in the whole world.

We go through all the stuff we've done in October (which is a heap), chat about Elite: Dangerous, World of Warcraft, Assassin's Creed and all of the cool new stuff we have planned. Did Gabe get in trouble for not doing his homework? Yeah, but that's ok. He'll do better.

Coco has a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology so it's time to learn how we can take care of ourselves while still going full-on with the games we love.
