We talked to a student who is the 37th rector of queens and who worked at the parliament of Canada. It was a very interesting conversation where we talked about student advocacy, political apathy, and just generally talking about our guest and his experiences.

Note: This did not age well, but it is interesting to see the mindset during the time

We talk about the overexaggration of the virus, the memes, and the exploitation of the public's attention

In this episode, we talked about this hot topic and its relation to universities. We talked about the whether or not hate speech should be censored, other ways hate speech can be diminshed other than the law, the Don Cherry firing and a variety of other topics

We're back with the last episode of 2019! We talked to a student about the problems feminism faces today, how the movement should help men, what it represents, and alot more. A hot topic! But a discussion that is as sober as can be.

In this episode, we talk to 2 students from the US who started an initiative meant to bring about productive political discussions. We talked about the failure of current discourse and how the Depolarize project is meant to help out with individual political discussions throughout the world.
