  • Broken Area - Episode 318 - Cast From the Cast
    We may be socially isolating.
    I may have a broken leg.
    However, we have a podcast to do!
    Welcome Brent and Brandy to the world of Canadian couple podcasting. They aren’t married, yet they have the same last name. We are married and don’t. Whoa.
    Isabelle doesn’t think more than two weeks into the future, but also thinks about her eventual demise.
    My leg is still broken.
    Jon is playing video games. You’ll hear him in the background.
    I made a cool Korean drink for dessert.

    Hi everyone.
    So 3506 is done anyway, my part anyway, as it’s just student presentations left. Stats, well, there’s still stuff to do, but I have all of the old classes available in podcast form!
    Classes are cancelled. Mine already were because I broke my leg (!), but now the university has cancelled classes due to #COVID19 (which is the right call).
    See you in September.
    Music ‘First Semester Freedom Fighter’ by Hell of Highwater.

  • Broken Area - Episode 317 - Broken Leg Area
    If you’ve followed our illustrious podcasting careers you know that we resurrected Broca’s Area after we had a house fire.
    Well, now I’ve broken my fucking leg.
    So, no work for a while. Though, I was able to figure out what to do with marks, and then the university cancelled all classes for the rest of the semester.
    Isabelle’s Mom called.
    I don’t move much, I just hang out in bed with my foot up decided which tv show to binge.

  • Broken Area - Episode 316 - Sugar Balls and Sweetsie Cola
    Spring may actually be on its way. It was -2 yesterday when we recorded this. That said, man did we get a lot of snow the night before.
    Oh yeah, I’m writing this on Saturday but we recorded this (i.e. went shopping) yesterday, on Friday.
    Of course we had to pick up an Amazon package as well. That’s becoming a regular stop.
    The conference I go to in Florida, the Conference on Comparative Cognition, was cancelled due to COVID-19. The executive committee made the right call I think. Having people hang out together from all over the worlds probably not the best thing right now.
    On the COVID-19 front, the only thing our grocery store was out of was hand sanitizer.
    It’s supposed to go up to 8C tomorrow, so maybe all of this snow will be gone by March 19, as I say every year.

  • Broken Area - Episode 315 - Rawr Rawr Brodbeck Teeth
    So, we recorded this on Friday but I’m not getting around to posting it until Saturday. I wonder if I remember what we talked about….
    I know we mentioned how we had a nice visit with Mike ‘the virtual yooper’’ Musiel.
    I know it was snowy enough that they had canceled school buses so Jon stayed home (he doesn’t take the school bus but every other kid in his class does, so there’s no point for him to go when this happens).
    I know we saw a guy pushing a shopping cart down a main street in the city.
    I know it was -20 or something.
    I know we talked about my teeth.
    I know Isabelle picked up a package at that odd store.
    Hey, I seem to have remembered a lot!
