Having never covered sports, we decided to talk about baseball. We both really enjoy it, and we know not everyone shares our passion for this game, but it's still culturally important to many nations around the world. 

 

Everything from baseball culture, to enjoying the game as a spectator or a player is covered here.

Are you thinking of going to school or making a career change? Both traditional degrees and trades come with some serious pros and cons. 

While trades are generally looked down upon, we wanted to discuss the benefits of trades, especially with how reliable they are. 

Degrees are a great choice too, but we also wanted some of the things to factor in and consider when pondering getting a degree.

Have you ever wanted to explore the world, try new things, live a more adventurous life?

We brought on a guest who gives us insight on how to do just that. Alex Houghton is a professional photographer and graphic designer who has spent a lot of his life living outdoors and exploring. We work our way through his background and methodology, and ultimately learn about how to live a more exciting life. 

There is something for everyone here. Winnie and Alex discuss their commonalities as scuba divers, and all three of us discuss the appreciation of nature, the hard work it takes to build up a new skill, and the innate desire to take possession of our own lives. 

You will definitely learn a lot, and we hope you enjoy the episode.

Do you love to travel? 2020 certainly hasn't been the best year for it, but if you are like us, you want to get back out there and explore the world. 

 

We cover some of the scientific benefits of traveling such as the fact that traveling can reduce stress and anxiety. We also talk about how cultural exploration leads to being more open-minded and can even boost creativity. 

 

Winnie and I then talk about some of the benefits we felt as well as some of the most powerful and evocative experiences we've had in our own experience. 

 

We just had to mention over-tourism and some of the negative effects of traveling. Despite these negative effects, we still recommend everyone travels, even if locally,, but we firmly believe people need to educate themselves on how to be conscientious and eco-friendly while they globe-trot. 

 

We hope you enjoy the episode, and if nothing else, it might inspire you to get started on that next travel itinerary.

This episode focuses on the challenges we all face with trying to listen in a second language, as well as different ways to overcome these challenges. We cover deliberate listening, binge listening, and passive listening. 

Lastly, we talk about both methods that have/have not worked for us in our own experience. 

If you want to improve your listening and find out some of the science behind listening techniques, make sure you listen to the whole episode.

Winnie's friend Luke is a very talented individual. He is an actor, teacher, interpreter, world traveler, and he owns his own theater school. On top of that, he is very outgoing and has a lot to say to both English learners and people looking to live abroad. 

We were glad to have him on this episode. He spent many years in Australia and tells us why he wanted to learn English and how he dealt with racism. He also goes into trying to make it as an actor and about what being an interpreter is like. 

We finish the episode by talking about Luke's theater school, which allows children to learn English through acting and theater. He talks about the philosophy behind his teaching and how students discover a funner way to experience English.

Get off your phone and talk to someone! It's time to take a deep dive into technology and how we socialize in the modern world. This episode covers good ways to open conversations and how to keep a good conversation going. 

However, technology has had huge impacts on how we socialize and communicate as a whole. One of our big questions was whether or not technology has improved or hurt our social lives. In many ways, we have access to more people and social groups than ever, but maybe we are too reliant on our phones and computers. 

We cover apps and ways to use social media to improve your social life, and we also discuss the difference between introverts and extroverts. 

Overall, this episode is an exploration into how we communicate in the 21st century and how we can make friends and new acquaintances in a world that is becoming more and more technological.

Dragon Boat Festival is here! Every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, many Asian countries celebrate a holiday that stemmed from Ancient China and the legend of Qu Yuan. While this holiday is famous for dragon boat races, which are held around the world, there is a lot of other traditions associated with this unique holiday. 

Winnie and I discuss some of the history and culture behind this holiday. We talk about the mythology and legend of Qu Yuan, famous food like sticky rice dumplings, and the reason why people try to balance eggs. On top of that, we also talk about our personal experience celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival, and what we like about it.

In this episode, we talk about the effects of polarization and having the "with us or against us" mentality. Major issues like racism, political correctness, and globalization all seem like they hinder discussions, but the 21st century needs to be the century of communication. 

We discuss the George Floyd killing, freedom of speech, the role of social media, and a lot more. This episode is a little bit more serious than a lot of our content, but we believe this is an important discussion to have and to present.

In this episode, we discuss mental health. This episode is loosely based on Johan Hari's book, Lost Connections. We discuss some of the reasons why so many people have anxiety and depression nowadays. Some of those reasons include feeling disconnected to the natural world, not feeling like the future is secure, not finding meaning in your work, and not having a community. 

We wanted the episode to be more positive though, so we also offered solutions. We talk about how to find or create communities, how even small amounts of nature can increase our happiness, and we offer tips on how to make work and the future a more happy, secure place. 

There is so much to talk about, and the episode couldn't be too long, so if you want to hear more about this topic, please let us know. It might be possible to cover in a future episode.
