It’s the last episode of our inaugural season of podcasting!
What a journey it’s been through the ups and downs of learning the art of podcasting and the many random detours along the way. In this episode Chandra and Raffy reminisce about the year that’s just been as well as catching up on what’s been happening.
Topics in no particular order include:
- Upskilling as a doctor and why it’s like being a medical student again
- BBQs in Antarctica
- Caganer, The Pooper
- What is a Muslim doing at Oktoberfest?
- Our second ever message
and much more!

50 min - S01E21 - Multiskilled man working in the shadows for start-ups
Imagine growing up in Australia, moving to the US, getting into the highly competitive medical school there at the world renowned Mayo Clinic, finishing and NOT becoming a practicing doctor! Today's guest is someone who's done exactly that: Dr Ryan Begley!
Both Chandra and I have known Ryan for years but never really known how he ended up with such a wide range of skills that he uses in his various roles in many start-ups. In this interview-sode, we discuss:
- What made Ryan try for medical school?
- Why did he NOT pursue a medical career?
- What exactly is consulting?
- The many differences between the US and Australia
- does he even listen to this podcast and much more!
Ryan is a bit of a recluse on the world of the internet and preferred to be contacted via us in case anything took your fancy. Please email us at [email protected] and we'll pass on a message.

34 min - S01E17 - The First Message!
Ok, it's hard to contain my excitement...
This is the first episode of the randInt podcast where we have a voice message! Only took 16 episodes!!! It turns out it was a challenge no less. What could it be?
In this minisode, we get way to excited about said voice message, discover what Chandra has been up to in the land of freedom (aka anywhere that's not Victoria or NSW) and bring back the most requested segment... Growing up Brown/Parental Paranoia
If you ever want to know what riding a bike as a brown child is like or the crisis incident that being picked up by a friend from school can cause, listen on...

30 min - S01E16 - Interviewing Lahiru: Expert Educator & Side-hustle King
Well, do we have an episode for you!
This time, we're putting on our interviewing hats and having a chat to Dr Lahiru Amaratunge, an anaesthetist with a range of other interests that's long enough to fill a few pages! In typical randInt style, we cover a lot of ground and find a whole bunch of surprising insights from someone who's arguably at the top of his game.
We discuss things like:
- How did his education side-gig start?
- How to overcome imposter syndrome?
- Finding the balance when so many projects demand your time
- The most impactful art/book/movie that's left a lasting impression
and so much more!
It was an absolute treat to pick Lahiru's brain for insights. Unlike most of our normal episodes, this feels like it actually has some wisdom in it. Not surprising considering it's coming from someone dedicated to teaching I suppose!

1 hr 8 min - S01E15 - Old Ceviche and This is Water...

Things mentioned in this episode:

Howdy and welcome to episode 14!
In this episode, we get NERDY AF! What's it like in Chandra's new Tesla? Does learning programming change the way you think? If you're going to nap, are you napping like Dali?! All these questions and a few more topics in one jam packed and slightly rambling episode!
Other topics include:
- Recent books that have changed our thinking

- What to do if you want more Parental Paranoia stories...
Things mentioned in this episode:
