July 03, 2022S02E12 - Toxic Traits & Optimisation rates
Our last catch-up-sode seemed to have hit a listener nerve with so many self destructive/toxic traits that people wanted to tell us about! We got so many via Spotify polls, messages and DMs that we focused this whole episode on it! Apart from a catch up, we ALSO GOT ANOTHER VOICE MAIL! Which means, it’s time for more “Growing up Brown” stories…
Other things in this episode include...
What full-time work looks like from an outside perspective

Finding our own “toxic traits’’

Over optimising everything

June 12, 2022S02E11 - Dr Antony Rapisarda - Medical doctor & tech founder
Dr Antony Rapisarda is our guest for this episode of the randInt podcast and this may be one of the most far ranging, funny and (of course) random conversations we’ve had thus far on the podcast! Anthony is a medical doctor who spent years doing research in various fields including molecular genomics then proceeded to complete his medical studies only to find himself in the US start-up scene. After several years in the fast-paced environment seeing that project take off, he chose to return to Australia to continue his medical training, only to find more problems needing solutions, which led to the founding of OrthoDx, his latest project!
Everything about the episode from how we crossed paths with Anthony (introduced by a previous guest) to the topics we cover are both random, but also very insightful of a person who has followed his curiosity to build a diverse career that truly values tackling the bigger challenges. Along the way we talk about the many, many hurdles, challenges and chance encounters that led him to where he is today.
Some of the things we cover include…
How chatting to a random Texan guy led to him being offer the role of Chief Medical Officer

Why he DECLINED the offer!

What it’s like pulling SHARK TEETH off a leg

Why someone who’s been so successful CHOOSES to go back to square one (essentially) in medicine

How to maintain focus on a project when there’s just so many things going on

and more!

April 02, 2022S02E06 - Metaverse, schmetaverse
It’s a week delayed, but hopefully worth it!
Apologies dear listeners for the week long delay in getting this episode out to you! In our quest to improve the production value of the podcast, we’re trying out some new software and with the challenges of clinical work, things just got a bit too much to be on time.
So, we’re fashionably late to the topic of this weeks minisode: the METAVERSE! What is it? Are we already there? Is Zuck really an android? Find out in the episode...

March 14, 2022S02E05 - Travel impediment & what is CST?
After starting Season 2, we both realised we hadn’t actually had a catch-up episode since the start! Given just how different the world looked since the last episode was released and how many times my recent travel plans changed, there was a lot to catch up on. So we decided a chat was in order and random banter ensued...
In this episode we talk about...
why going overseas is much more complicated a process

growing up brown - curry traits in our parents

how much fish and chips cost in small country towns

and more!

Maz’s windy path to plastic surgery

Breaking stereotypes in your field

Keeping your hobbies and interests going when “adulting”

February 15, 2022S02E03 - Where to look, when you're looking for love...
It’s another minisode of the randInt podcast
Two minisodes that are ACTUAL minisodes less than 30 mins?! Season 2 is very different to Season 1 indeed!
In this episode (which just missed Valentine’s Day), we talk about LUUUURRVVEEE. Well more like the nerdy stats related to it. In order to help one keen listener with their love life, we look at the data to see where did the people we know meet their significant other? Is that comparable to what generally the data suggests and how have things changed over time?
When we started randInt, neither of us ever though that THIS would be one of the minisodes, but that’s what happens when you live the randInt life...
