    Swipe. Bet. Repeat: Sports Betting, Fan Culture, and the Slippery Slope We’re Ignoring
    Feb 6 2026
    Sports betting is everywhere, and it’s changing more than just how we watch the game. In this episode, I sit down with filmmaker Deborah Wainwright, director of the documentary Swipe. Bet. Repeat., to talk about the rapid rise of app-based sports betting, how it’s reshaping fan behaviour, and why athletes are increasingly becoming the face of wins, losses, and even threats.We dig into how betting apps have blurred the line between fandom and gambling, why prop bets have shifted the psychology of watching sports, and what happens when money turns players into investments. We also talk about why Deb chose to centre women bettors in the film, what she learned about community and risk, and why the idea that “the house always wins” still holds true.If you’ve ever placed a bet, thought about placing one, or wondered how this all got so big so fast, this conversation will change how you watch your next game Learn more about your ad choices.

  • How Neuroplasticity Can Change Your Brain at Any Age, with Tara Bonner of Arrowsmith Program

    How Neuroplasticity Can Change Your Brain at Any Age, with Tara Bonner of Arrowsmith Program
    Jan 30 2026
    What if the brain you have today is not the brain you are stuck with? In this episode, I sit down with Tara Bonner, Chief Neuroeducation Officer at the Arrowsmith Program, to talk about neuroplasticity and the brain’s capacity to change throughout our lives. We unpack why confidence follows competence, not encouragement, how attention has become increasingly fragile in modern life, and the difference between chronic distraction and true ADHD. We also talk about learning disabilities, cognitive profiles, and why focusing less on labels and more on how the brain functions can change outcomes for both children and adults. If you are curious about how your brain works, how to strengthen it, and how to protect your thinking in an AI-driven world, this conversation is well worth your attention.

  • AI, Automation, and the Loss of Human Connection with Joanne Morrison

    AI, Automation, and the Loss of Human Connection with Joanne Morrison
    Jan 23 2026
    AI is everywhere right now, but I’m far less interested in the hype and far more interested in what it’s doing to how we connect with each other.In this episode, I sit down with Joanne Morrison, a Canadian author and entrepreneur with deep experience in customer service and outsourcing, to talk about where AI actually stands today and where it’s being wildly oversold.We talk about why so many chatbots are still terrible, where companies are getting AI wrong in customer service and marketing, and why trust and human connection are being eroded in the process. We also get into jobs, which roles are most at risk in the near term, which ones will always need humans, and why panic about mass unemployment may be misplaced.Most importantly, we talk about connection. What happens when communication is increasingly filtered through machines, why women may feel this shift more acutely, and why real, in-person human connection might end up being one of the most valuable things we can offer in an AI-driven world.If AI has left you feeling uneasy, frustrated, or simply disconnected, this conversation will make you feel less alone and far more grounded in reality Learn more about your ad choices.
