Should You Really Eat That? Are olive oil shots a good idea? Should we dunk butter in our coffee? Is soy really “the most dangerous food for men?” and is chocolate actually a health food? (The royal pharmacist certainly thought so when he treated Marie-Antoinette’s headaches during 18th-century France with chocolate!). If health experts tell us we’re consuming too much salt, how do we balance that with cookbooks advising we season our food generously for flavour? And are we overlooking the health and cultural impacts of Indigenous ingredients? It can be tricky trying to consume the ‘right things’, and the forces that shape our diets go far beyond what’s supposedly ‘good for us’. On Should You Really Eat That?, food writer Lee Tran Lam untangles the mixed messaging about the food and drinks we consume – with the help of chefs, dietitians and other guests. Insert title here Nathan Costello New to the podcast scene, I thought it would be a good idea and try this app considering I like the sound of my own voice. In this intro podcast I tell you a bit about myself and the ambitions I have for this platform. Why on Earth Should I Gamify? Michelle Watrin Would you believe some students will graduate high school with the same amount of gaming hours as hours spent in class? With this in mind, why would teachers ever think gamifying their classroom is a good idea? Don't students spend enough time gaming already? Michelle Watrin, a middle school teacher from beautiful Abbotsford, B.C., explains the ins and outs of what gamifying a classroom could look like, and why some teachers are finding such success in gamification. You've Got It All Wrong Thought Experiment Media A weekly show about philosophy, science and the history of ideas from the Allen Brothers and Mark Sanders (best known to listeners as "America's Sweetheart"). If you can imagine what would happen if Plato and Carl Sagan were guests on The Daily Show, then you have a pretty good idea of what's going on here. Each week the trio provides an overview of a philosophical topic, a history of the problem and insights into contemporary thinking. They also take a behind-the-scenes look at the philosophers who came up with these ideas: usually they are kind of nuts (the guy who pioneered Utilitarian ethics had his body mummified and put on display at his college). If you wish your Philosophy 101 course had been more informative, less boring and taught by a professor who drank during class, then this podcast is for you.
