In this episode we offer up our resolutions and predictions for 2018. Matt is determined to make this year his most focused ever and Phil doesn’t think the world will end, yet. With a heartfelt round of confessions, we agree that being warm is worse than cold. Typical. We decided to end things with a long overdue round of thank-you’s to all those who have graced us with iTunes and Facebook reviews. Kicking off the year sayin’, Thanks!
We thank David Wagner for kindly allowing us to play a few songs. Computer Hash is the brainchild of David from the tiny town of Fenwick, Michigan. Computer Hash creates techno and experimental electronic music littered with a variety of original audio samples recorded on cassette tape, many over a decade ago. Most of these audio samples are from various parties that David attended with cassette recorder in hand, ready to capture interesting drunken rants for future use in music. Recently, David has been working to promote and create new music under the Computer Hash umbrella. You can find Computer Hash on: Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/user-629368065 | Facebook https://www.facebook.com/computerhash/
We ended the show with “All Kinds of Crazy” by Codie Prevost. Codie is a four time Canadian Country Music Association nominee and a six time Saskatchewan Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year winner. He releases music on his own label, Good Spirit Records. He has recently released a new studio album entitled Radio.

On this episode we review 2017, a year punctuated with the bad, the ugly & the awkward. From Trump and #MeToo to the Phoenix pay system catastrophe and no more Sears holiday catalogues, we talk about key moments in politics and science, showing how 2017 was another year with far reaching impacts for all of us. 2017 was also Canada’s 150th birthday. As Canadians, we think back on what that meant to us and provide some advice for those of you looking to build a $4.3M outdoor hockey rink. 2017 also brought two births: Matt’s baby girl, Violet and, this podcast! In what will become a yearly tradition, we close the episode by talking about all our 2017 podcast appearances, the interviews we did throughout the year, and the great folks we had the chance to meet. Here’s to a wonderful 2018. Happy New Year everyone. Be kind.

We all celebrate the holiday season differently. That’s a good thing. On this episode Matt & Phil share their holiday traditions. From savory meat pies, to sugary cookies, to cups filled with rum and eggnog, they show how good food and good people make the holidays a special time of the year. During the second half of the show, Phil connects with friends of the podcast to talk about their holiday traditions. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
We thank Alex Diskin for kindly allowing us to play three of his songs: Heist, Outlaw, and A.A.A. Make sure to check out Alex’s music and if you’re in the central New York, USA area why not book him for a gig? We tried to think of a more perfect way to host a party over the holidays and, quite frankly, couldn’t. Get Alex playing guitar and signing and you’ll be entertained for hours. Then get him to tell zombies stories. He does that really well too. Check his art out on: Soundcloud http://soundcloud.com/alex-diskin | Twitter @IsAnyoneThere2012 | YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO_rBw7mWl8iEjXFhSTYU1w
Concluding thought: I find that it's the simple things that remind you of family around the holidays― Amy Adams

Matt & Phil chat on a cross-country check-up this week. Phil opens up about his life as an aspiring PhD, Matt tells us how to travel with a young one, and we debate the merits and demerits of compression socks and tourists. Yup, it got a little silly. Go figure. We do settle down and put on our serious faces to discuss how we, individually and collectively, experience space and time. Seen as social aspects of our world, how we experience space and time is highly dependant on the structures that surround us. However, we also have agency to navigate space and time, allowing for seemingly endless opportunities. With a different view of space and time, is it possible to think about creativity, productivity, technological advancements, and (dis)abilities differently?

Matt & Phil have been physically disconnected lately. That means their neural nets are out of alignment. Rough times. Luckily they had the chance to talk with Megan, co-host of Oh No! Lit Class. The discussion meandered around podcasting, life, politics, teaching, paper clips, literature and, finally, Franz Kafka. There was a point to all this, it’s just not obvious. How Kafkaesk.

While Matt & Phil yearn for longer summers their special guests would like some of the soft, fluffy, sticky, cold, frozen, lifeless substance we sometimes call snow. To be honest, most of the time we call it (insert expletive of choice). Enough about weather. Lindsay & Perry Johnson, co-hosts of the Hello Life WTF podcast, join us to talk about empathy and communication in relationships, disney movies, video games, baseball, squeaky chairs, and what drives them as a couple to podcast. Lindsay & Perry offer their top recommendations for new parents. Be warned: some of the advice ain't easy to follow. We laughed, we cried, we had a great time. This episode also has a big reveal...real big...HUGE...AMAZING...THE BEST, EVER!! Semi-Intellectual Musings is honoured to break the news. #2017PodScoop
