The Study Group Podcast

On this episode of the podcast, the gang talks about our city of Calgary. What it means to us and the future we see for the city and the province at large. We talk about our careers, the political climate here and the current and future economic states of the city and connect it all to our personal experience. We hope you enjoy it PS: Og's fun fact of the day: Everyone technically has E. coli in their guts and it actually works to keep your gastrointestinal system working properly. It's the O157:H7 variant of the bacteria that causes problems. 

On this episode of the podcast, the gang focus primarily on social media, what it means to us, what our favourite social media sites are, what are its shortcomings and downfalls, how it affects our mental health and the coping strategies we all have to stay sane in a very social media focused world. We hope you enjoy it!

On this episode of the podcast, we reminisce about the year 2020, it's ups and downs, what we learned and our favourite and least favourite things from the year. We also discuss our goals and expectations for 2021 and how the year has been shaping up so far.  A few books are discussed by Oghosa in this episode. Here is a list of those books in no particular order; The Codex Alera Series by Jim Butcher  The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb Malazan Book of the Fallen Series by Steven Erikson A Darker Shade of Magic Series by V.E Schwab The Many Coloured Land by Julian May The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter

On the final episode of the podcast for the year 2020 the gang discusses our favourite Christmas memories, presents and the difficulties of celebrating the holidays during the Covid times. We also discuss Christmas movies which leads to a conversation about Hallmark movies and love languages. This episode does start with a very short conversation about the current issues our American neighbours are facing regarding the stimulus but it's a short aside from an otherwise cozy and happy episode.  We know it's been a rough year for everyone but we are almost through it and for those celebrating minimally or alone this holiday season, we are thinking of you and we hope that the season will be a joyous one for you regardless of the circumstances. We want to say thank you to everyone for listening to us this year, we appreciate you and we hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and a Fantastic New Year. We will see you in January!

This is an episode brimming with conspiracy. We explore the allure of conspiracy theories and why they seem so very attractive in this day and age. We also discuss different popular conspiracy theories including the moon landing, Area 51 and UFO landing as well as the illuminati. We also nerd out a little bit about Dr. Who and the monsters that have scared us the most from the show. It's a really fun and lighthearted episode but we hope you learn a little bit from it as well.  Cheers, Oghosa

We initially did not have a topic for this episode. But, as the natural flow of conversation takes effect, we end up discussing gaming. We talk about the release of the PlayStation 5 and XBox Series X, and our favourite childhood games versus our current favourites. We hope you enjoy listening to us nerd out!

This episode of the podcast is a more politically heavy episode as we talk about the recent election in the United States talking about the Biden win, the crisis of Trump not acknowledging said win and the legal battles Trump has attempted to mount. We also talk about the best way to combat miseducation and misinformation, the viability of democracy as well as the way forward towards a less divided nation in both the US and Canada.

No, we don't actually have an Only Fans, unfortunately. (I know we got you so excited) The main topic of this podcast is travelling, our favorite and most important vacation memories, and the impact that immigration has played on those of us who immigrated to Canada as kids. We also immediatley derail into a short conversation about OnlyFans and the culture and morality of it's users (hence the title). So sit down, buckle up, and don't forget your passport as you join us on as we recount our best adventures!

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss Capitalism, Greed, the Albertan Government, its people and the most effective way to communicate a social democratic message to them. We also talk about the endorsement of Joe Biden in the American election by a bunch of the biggest journals in the scientific world as well as the best ways to communicate science in the modern world.  PS There are some background noises in parts of the show with sniffles and movement from a few members, we apologize and we have that fixed on subsequent episodes!

On this episode of the podcast, the tangents really do begin with the group moving between topics as deftly as Muhammed Ali avoiding hits in his prime. We start off talking about City States then segue into tax avoidance to Canadian support of Trump all the way to constitutional amendments in both the United States and in Canada.  The tangents do make some semblance of sense and we address a lot of topics that we think most listeners will at least find interesting if not informative so please enjoy the episode and let us know what you think.  PS: Brandon had some audio issues in this podcast so we get some robotic sounds in a few spots, it's a tad distracting but doesn't really take anything away from the overall message being discussed at any point.  

On this episode of the podcast, the group talks about Halloween, favourite costumes, candy, movies and everything else Halloween related. We also talk about possible paranormal experiences and the power of group experiences and places that are considered significant. We also delve into why human beings seem so obsessed with being scared. Hope you enjoy the episode and Happy Halloween!

On this episode of the podcast, we talk a bit more about the different members of the group, how we met, first impressions and give listeners a little bit more insight into who we are.

Our pilot episode focuses primarily on the lives of the members of the study group and how Covid-19 drastically changed things for us and the adaptations we needed to make as people to deal with it. It's primarily focused on us talking about our experiences and what our lives have looked like over the course of the year.
