After the embarrassing revelation that Naomi and "Joker" might not be very interesting people they went on a journey to find someone who could help them uncover the hobbyist in themselves. Enter Chuck, a man of not only many talents but some words of wisdom to share. We also venture into research on the benefits of diversity in this week's B-B-Baller Scholarship.

George J. Borjas, Kirk B. Doran and Ying Shen

Intro: 「Ｃ Ａ Ｎ Ｔ Ｉ」- human music

Special Guest: Chuck.

Our episode is a little unlike the usual. We dedicate the first part of the episode to responding to some of our listener mail and feedback on twitter. We also have no guest and spend time talking about work, family visits, Game of Thrones, Dr. Who, other podcasts, and ideas for the show. Our Q&A this week comes from someone who struggled in their first year and feels like they're still paying for it interpersonally and professionally.

Soon to come, our GA reading list. Also, send us a voice memo to [email protected] letting us know how you spend your free time in grad school/what hobbies you do to help stay balanced.

Intro: Peter Bjorn & John - Young Folks

Join us as we touch on the grind of working outside of grad school during the summer, contemplate the value of having data that is not only easy to read but informative, and talk a bit about how we three approach our relationship with alcohol in an environment where it's use is... complicated.

Intro: Tim & Eric - Big Ben 2 (A to Z)

Special Guest: Jim.

Speaking enthusiastically into their microphones, the graduate students never realize that no one is actually listening.

Welcome to another week of Graduates Anonymous. This episode we dive into the value of publications on an academic CV, talk about the value of maintaining a work-life balance, and meet a creator who uses a childhood toy turned hobby to find balance in the midst of graduate life. Namely with LEGOs... because they're awesome.

Intro: Everything is Awesome - Tegan & Sarah

Special Guest: Lego Grad Student.

This episode is slightly different than our normal programming. First, the episode is not explicitly one about being a graduate student. In this show, we approach something topical on the eve of the pride weekend from the perspective of graduate students. Second, this episode will release slightly off schedule. In memory of those events at Stonewall Inn that were an inspiration to the annual pride marches, this episode will release at 3am EST the morning following the Sunday parade, which is the time the original riots occurred on Wednesday, June 26th, 1969.

Intro: Sorry - Beyonce

Special Guest: AY.

This week we are joined by guest Safi to wade into the uncomfortable waters of imposter syndrome and competition in graduate school. We try to ask how it manifests, it's different effects, and how we confront the challenge of feeling isolated by these thoughts. Our Q&A this week ventures into what it's like to be the youngest person in your cohort. Stay tuned after the episode (~1:15:00) for a one on one as Safi and Terrence dig deeper into how discourse has changed since the election.

This was initially planned as a bonus episode, but we decided this week to pull it together to give you a peek behind the curtain of my very flawed and fresh thoughts about leaving my graduate program for another. We hope you forgive some of the audio roughness as we're working on setting up our new recording situation. Remember to give us your feedback on gradation.fireside.fm or on twitter @gradanon.

Intro: Billy Joel - Moving Out

This week we continue our discussion about finding the right person while in grad school. As the second part in our four part series on love and relationships, Stephanie joins us to discuss how she took a chance, and ended up meeting the person she'd eventually marry as well as what's good and what's not so good about making the commitment to another person. Additionally, we answer a question about how to navigate new responsibilities with your PI. Remember to give us your feedback on gradation.fireside.fm or on twitter @gradanon.

Intro: Fiddler on the Roof

Special Guest: Stephanie.

This week we have our first candid discussion about single life as a grad student. As the first part in our four part series on love and relationships, Missy joins us to discuss how she dealt with being in her 20s and suddenly in a much smaller dating pool than she expected. We also talk a little about what Terrence's secret is, and think over what primates pressing buttons reveals about comparative social cognition.

Join us again as we rail against the system of graduate school. We cover an article by Maximillian Alvarez titled "Contingent No More" where we get into the business of graduate school and how the graduate student has become the new form of exploited labour. You wont want to miss it! Remember to give us your feedback on gradation.fireside.fm.
