Ottawhat 78 – Ours is the Fury Podcast
This week on Ottawhat, we talked a fair bit about soccer, the sport I love most in the world. Our local soccer team is in the championship of the NASL (North American Soccer League) this Sunday against New York, after an amazing fall run where they only lost once in 20 games!
Future Chat 77 – So Much Swiping (BONUS: Snapchat after-show)
*The Snapchat portion of the after-show begins around 1:34:15* Future Chat is a really fun part of each week for me. Sometimes, we’ve ended up kind of regurgitating the news and not really getting too in-depth in discussion. That didn’t happen this week. We ended up having really great conversations about the future of science…
East Meets West 12 – My Eyes Are Up Here
On East Meets West, Nick and I talked about Canada’s new Cabinet, how our applications to the Liberal Party are going, and follow up our conversation on toplessness. The episode makes me pretty happy.
Ottawhat 77 – Poppa Bean Coffee
This week on Ottawhat, it’s a very special episode, featuring Paul Foster from Poppa Bean Coffee. We also got a new set of mics, so it sounds great! But even better than that, we’re launching the very first contest we’ve ever done. You can enter this week to win a free ticket for a Brew…
Election Day
This weekend, we had an international podcast on East Meets West. Matt “Tom” Staroste joined us from Australia to discuss the election that’s upon us today. And while you might not have time to listen to the whole 2 hour podcast today before polls close, I really encourage you to listen to Matt’s and Nick’s…
Losing Weight Isn’t Hard
Losing weight is easy, and let me tell you why (and how!). I have something to tell you that could either be unbelievably hard to believe, or possibly instantly understood, depending on your own experiences. I’ve been talking a LOT about my weight and my health in the last 3 months or so, and I’ve…
I Still Hate Facebook
I have written a LOT ragging on the various things I hate about Facebook, and though some of my concerns have been addressed over the years, there is still a lot I just really don’t like about the social network. Today, I’m going to detail what has always been one of my biggest nuisances with…
How to Turn the Page (on Life)
I’m not sure there is a wrong way. This week, I learned that I will be entering a new chapter in my life. For those of you who are following me on social media, you will probably already be aware that I found out that my contract at NSERC, where I’ve been working for the…
What’s my weight again?
Future Chat is on hiatus this week, while Mike schmoozes with Disney characters in Orlando, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot to announce this week! I’ve decided to take my health changes even more seriously, and give you real-time (daily) access to how my health changes are impacting my weight. I’ve never done…
How to make slow and steady progress
People ask me from time to time these days: “Rob, do you think you will regret keeping people updated on your weight from week to week?”. To those people, I say “Maybe…but if it stops changing in a healthy direction, I’ll probably just stop talking about it.” For the time being though, my not so…
