The Perspicax /per.spi.kaks/

So many listeners have reached out to ask how this podcast came to be. In our season finale we talk about how long we've known each other & how we came together. We discuss the most difficult parts of running the podcast and our favourite memories. Plus a little competition and parting words. Until next time!--

Toxic relationships & friendships. Signs that you're in one? Why do we stay in them? When and how do we get out of them? Tune in this week for different views from each side of the table as we express our opinions and add tips/advice.

It's back-to-school season! We've been reminiscing on how we felt about our school clothes and the lessons we learned from our parents about money. Join us for a convo about financial literacy, building credit, buying a home... and Air Jordans.

Has music gotten worse over time!? Every generation seems to think that they were the last good era. This week we discuss music access (remember Limewire?), music videos, vulgar lyrics, the impressionable minds of children, and the trajectory of objectifying women.

We have all been in situations that caused us to switch up the way we speak. For some groups it's the only way to make it in their workplace. For others it's a personal choice, or even a survival mechanism. This week we talk about the costs and benefits of Code Switching, workplace power dynamics, ESL classes, and Shenny gets a new nickname!

We would love to hear from you, send us a message for the crew or to be featured on future episodes.

This week things got a little feisty on the podcast! We talked about the word currently taking the internet by storm: Entanglement. Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith, August Alsina and more! Are "entanglements" a natural thing or a cop out from commitment? We touch on Attachment Styles, Intimacy Types, and our opinions about open relationships.

What does it mean to be "cancelled"? Is "Cancel Culture" beneficial or harmful? On episode two we discuss these questions and more. Many celebrities and organizations have been under the microscope lately. More recently, individuals caught behaving badly have also been punished at the hands of social media. Great points from this week's caller, Amit, as he discussed how it is perceived through media and in our everyday lives. We greatly appreciate the support!
