We decided to switch things up for this pod. Rather than debate on a recent topic, we thought we'd debunk some of the common myths and answer some questions we've received about economics and finance. What exactly is inflation and why should we care? Should you reject a raise because you'll end up in a higher tax bracket? Is debt really that bad? Does the president/prime minister control gas prices? If you pay higher for a product is it only because it is superior? Tune in and listen to our takes on some of these common misconceptions. Let us know your thoughts as well. Do you agree with us on anything? If not, connect with us we'd love to hear more. If you have more questions, feel free to let us know and we can address them in a future episode.

Stay tuned for new episodes every Wednesday!

On this week’s episode we discuss whether E-sports are for real or just another fad. With everyone at home during the pandemic, we’ve seen the popularity of e-sports and streaming rise exponentially.

Tune in to hear the boys roast a member of PEAK for watching streams of a certain sport and argue if e-sports will ever replace live sports. What do you think? Do you enjoy e sports? Let us know!

We’re back!! Apologies for the week off, we are now back to our original schedule! On this week’s pod we look into the different types of socio-economic systems, how they impact us, what history has taught us, and much more. We’ve all heard of capitalism, communism, and socialism but what are they really? Is one better than the other? What system do we currently live under? How many different types of ideologies are there? Tune in to hear our thoughts on where we currently are and what we think would work best in today’s day and age!

On this week's pod, PEAK discuss the recent news regarding space exploration and space tourism. With Jeff Bezos and Sir Richard Branson taking commercial space flights in the coming weeks, we wanted to find out whether space exploration and space tourism are worth it. Should the resources be allocated elsewhere? As well, we look at the benefits of space exploration and how it has helped advance the human race. We also provide our thoughts on some random but interesting space topics. Is there life beyond Earth? Should we explore the deep sea? We also begin questioning whether Prakhar is really an alien. Tune in for this pod filled with lots of laughs and some hot button debates.

On today's episode we talk about globalization and debate whether the future would be better if we lived in a deglobalized economy. We wanted to find out what is causing the recent shortage of chips and the skyrocketing prices of computers and game systems. We found that the pandemic has caused significant supply chain issues and ignited the phenomenon of deglobalization. Is globalization really good for consumers? Or do counties need to begin cutting foreign ties and become self-sustaining?
