In this episode, we tackle a deceptively simple question: Does Canadian food even exist?

Canada is known for its diversity, but what does that actually mean for the food we eat every day? We talk about the meals we grew up with, from breakfast to dinner, and realize just how hard it is to define something as “typically Canadian.”

Of course, we don't skip the classics — poutine certainly gets a mention, but beyond a few iconic dishes, things get a little… complicated.

Is Canadian food a specific cuisine, or is it a mix of everything? Come for the food nostalgia, stay for the existential culinary crisis.

Teaching is a lot of things, but for us, it's never boring. 

In this episode, we talk about why we genuinely love what we do -- from the relationships we build with students, to the constant learning, to the unexpected moments that make us laugh. 

We have, in our opinion, the best job. Let us tell you why.

In this episode, we’re talking about one of our favorite places: the library. 📚 

We share why we love libraries, how they can be an amazing community resource, and all the surprising things you can borrow (it’s not just books!). We also talk about how libraries can be a welcoming space for everyone—whether you’re new to a country, looking for connection, or just need a quiet place to be.

And yes, Larissa once met a kangaroo in the library.🦘

If you’ve never been to a library before—or if you haven’t been in years—this episode might change the way you see them.
