- Episode 7 - OddBallers Special Episode - BodiesBodies have always fascinated humans, specifically dead ones. And dead bodies that once housed a famous historical figure really does it for us. And sometimes humans get carried away though, sometimes we are so fascinated by a discovery that we are blinded but the ethical and moral issues, by the repercussions, sometimes we don’t heed the warnings that are right in front of us and they can have catastrophic outcomes all because we touched something that was not ours to touch. Join Elizabeth Weyers for a special episode of OddBallers as she dives into what human's fascination with bodies is all about.Follow Us on Instagram- @OddballersPodcastMusic Credit-- OddBallers Theme- Elizabeth Weyers42 min
- Episode 6 - Pandemic Oddities Pt. 2 The Age of the Vaccine
It's the question of the year. "Are you going to get the Covid vaccine?" I think it goes without saying that it is a touchy subject for us all because in such a tumultuous time most questions can seem like they have a political agenda behind them as many fear the vaccine more than COVID-19. But did you know that side-effects that so many people are afraid of with the vaccine are actually a good thing? And who do we have to thank for out innovation of the vaccination in the first place? Find out this and so much more in this episode of OddBallers with Elizabeth Weyers and special guest Pharmacy student Rachel Dietz as they dive deep into what it means to live in the age of the vaccine and why it is important to do your part.

42 min - Episode 5 - Pandemic Oddities Pt. 1 - Plagues of the Past
“Those who fail to learn from the past are condemned to repeat it.” It is a quote that is used all of the time, but never has it been so true. 2020 rocked our world and forced us to change and learn fast, as our survival depended on it. History once again got clever and decided that we still have much to learn about pandemics and gave us another one. COVID-19. But with a new pandemic there is death, panic, turmoil and questions, questions that we don't have the answers too. Questions like What do we do now? When will this be over? What will this "new normal" look like? And what can we learn from this to grow and from so we don’t repeat it? But, I think that the real question that we should be asking ourselves is why haven’t we learned from this before?
Join Elizabeth Weyers and special guest Pharmacy student Rachel Dietz as they dive deep into the pandemics and plagues of the past to look for the lesson history so wants us to learn, and along the way we might just find our answer to getting out of this pandemic too.
