It's Rick's Podcast

We talk about finishing up a school-year, how students change from one year to the next, how to get your child ready for school, the teacher AND PARENT perspective, students placing curses on teachers and more. Get to know my work wife and the best grade-partner I've had in a long-time, Amanda Hughes.

Listen in while Rick chats it up with Adriana Wilkin who is a teacher, photographer, personal trainer, mom and SO MUCH MORE, but she has recently become a published author as well. 

In this episode Rick gets a chance to chat with his good friend and teaching mentor. They discuss children's baseball, Sick Kids Hospital, escaping from the U.S.A. during the pandemic's unfolding in North America, as well as some teacher stuff. 

Listen in as two friends from a long time ago catch up. Jackie is a personal trainer and Arbonne sales rep in Ottawa. We discuss mentors, tricks to get yourself moving and doing things, grassroots basketball for girls, and so much more!

In this episode, I read the email from our fastpitch softball league convenor regarding COVID-19... But it quickly turned into a love story of how Eric's mom and dad kindled a romance on the ball diamond that still burns hot to this very day. We laugh a lot and I hope you do too.

Have a listen as Andrew Karagianis and I talk about: our summer jobs at the Toronto Zoo, working as an addictions counselor, parrots, trading art for favours, loving our old pets, travel plans to B.C., feeling lucky to have jobs in an uncertain time, boring cooking, reading Wikipedia, asking for permission to meet during COVID-19 and not treating other humans as if they're all disease-bombs. 

Two old friends chat about music, being awful for supply teachers, and of course a little bit of COVID-19 (but who can avoid talking about it?)
