Unlearn16: Class is in Session – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, Mr. Global and I do a deep dive into Venezuela's colonial past, the incursion of the US into their oil market and the volatile state we are finding ourselves today.

Any guesses on what the US does next?

Marit Stiles (Leader of the provincial NDP) and I sit down to discuss how she got kicked out of parliament for telling the truth...and she isn't stopping anytime soon.

In this episode, we jump into the baseball game that changed my life found in my NEW book 'That's Not What This Book Is About' - available July 1, 2025.  I sit down with you in my car, hotdog from Harvey's, to discuss what it has been like being the only woman in some rooms or fields.  It's funny how they always want to keep us out until they realize they need us - isn't it?  PS - just wait for the part two bikers decided to sit and chat to each other beside my car while I was trying to tape this episode.

In this episode, I drive us all down to Florida to save the books from the fire, the teachers from the politicians and the oppressed from the tyrants.  Desantis might have some momentum, however, dictators only last until the masses revolt.  PS - my money is still on the mouse.

In this episode I address the upcoming changes to Ontario's educational system.  Steven Lecce, education minister, is leading the charge to 'make school great again' - and yes, I used those words very purposefully.  It is time for a recognizing.  I am so tired of cliche answers to the immense problem we face in education today - there are no simple solutions and it is time we admitted it.

In this episode, Caylee and I sit down to discuss the high and lows of relationships, patterns of dating, and ways of communicating in this crazy world.  We will take a hard look at one of the most significant problems couples face today - Why can't you PLEASE refill the toilet paper roll????

Special Guest - Caylee Cresta (on all social media platforms)

In this episode, Rev. Daniel and I speak to the power of social media, the pitfalls of internet fame and the pathways to empower the most vulnerable in our society.  Hint: it begins we realize how connected we truly are and by never mentioning that Alanis played God in Dogma.

In this episode, I begin by speaking to the censorship, oppression and targeting of the LGBT2Q+ community  - but it takes a turn when the school shooting in Tennessee takes precedent.  But don't be fooled, government officials have been using the pretence of safety and tradition to target minorities and give the ILLUSION of safety while 3 children and 3 teachers were killed by a lone shooter.  I'm done with thoughts and prayers - don't speak unless you have a plan to act.

In this episode, I peel back the layers of our education system to reveal its flaws and the mediocrity of memorization.   Only when we are truly honest about the system we have can we ever hope to rebuild something of value for our students and society at large.  The days of standardized testing, memorizing dates, reciting the periodic table and only reading ministry approved books are over.  You want to build intelligent, critical thinkers who are ready to take on all the world has to offer?  How much are you willing to pay?  What will you sacrifice?

In this episode, Adam and I begin our conversation with puppy raising and end it by finding the meaning of life.  It might sound incredible, but I can assure you the ride of this hour is well worth the ticket price.  Get your popcorn.
