Fake It 9 - Why are Cable and Internet bundles so confusing? (January 8)

January 8, 2016 - Rob goes looking for a new Cable and Internet package. Join him down the rabbit hole as he navigates the Rogers website looking for a way to not get ripped off by major telecommunications companies.

**At about 3:00, I say gigabits per second when describing Internet packages. I obviously mean megabits per second.

Fake It 8 - Weight Loss (January 3)

January 3, 2016 - Today, I introduce the new format of this podcast. Though I haven't settled on any specifics, I'm going to aim for ~5 minute episodes discussing things that interest or have to do with me, answer questions, or generally do whatever I feel like.

In this episode, I discuss some of my challenges and triumphs with weight loss in the last year.

This is part of a project I've tentatively called Make More wherein I am going to do and put out something creative every day for 2016. When that thing is just me talking into a microphone, it will be here. I hope you get something out of it.

Fake It #6 - The Pentatoque

My co-hosts on +Future Chat and I decided to take a break from the very latest in science and tech to just chat this week. Things got very interesting, and we ended up talking about where we put our energy (a la Hello Internet's 4 Lightbulbs episode), niches on the Internet and how everything kind of is one, and even discussed the cons of vertical video.

Fake It #2 - Celebrity Encounters (with Damien Broomes)

In this second episode of Fake It, I sat down with my good friend Damien Broomes. We talked about his recent celebrity encounter, exchanged views on success, and thought a lot about what it means to make it and be successful in the world. I think we both learned something!

Let me know what you think in a comment below, on Twitter @RobAttrell, or wherever you see this posted. I have a podcast subscription link on the right for those interested. If you'd like to be on the show, feel free to let me know that too!

We talked about:

Thanks very much to Becca for taking such great photos! And Happy Birthday to Becca as well!

Norman Borlaug is the man who saved a billion lives through agriculture who we talk about. He has a Nobel Peace Prize, so it's not like he's had no recognition, but he's far from a household name.
