    The C-------- Word Pt. 1 | Retrospect Station Ep. 15

    Some of us are safe. Most of us are not. In this week's episode, Elizabeth reads and commentates on the first section of the infamous Communist Manifesto. We have more power and more control than we think, but we need to act. Also, we are living in the thick of 1848 elitism.

    Vroom | Retrospect Station Ep. 14

    I have been released into traffic. In this week's episode, Elizabeth details the journey she's taken to get her G2 driver's license. One does not simply turn left at a moment's notice. Also, I'm a heavy advocate of robust public transit, but at this rate we actually need subsidized mandatory driver's ed.

    Moisturize me, like that Doctor Who episode. In this week's episode, Elizabeth elaborates on what it's like living with her chronic illness: eczema. When medicines, lotions, and potions don't always work, you're often left to suffer. Also, 'discoid eczema' sounds like 'disco eczema' and if only it were that fun.

    The 'Guest' in Overhead Luggage | Retrospect Station Ep. 12

    I nearly died because this woman had ideas. In this week's episode, Elizabeth recalls the time her Greyhound bus nearly crashed because it was haunted by eyes. The lesson here is that if it's midnight, don't mess with the ghosts. Also, I completely forgot corneal transplants were a thing. I thought the eyes were for a science lab.

    The Roof is Still There, Doug | Retrospect Station Ep. 11

    Give me back my Science Centre, Ford! In this week's episode, Elizabeth commemorates the Ontario Science Centre and the memories made there. With a few videos and maps along the way, come along for the tour on Elizabeth's last trip to the Science Centre, featuring testimonials from friends and community members around the GTA. Also, bother Doug Ford. Don't let him take our educational institutions.

    Xavier, Play Despacito | Retrospect Station Ep. 10

    The way we interact with music has completely changed. In this week's episode, Elizabeth inspects the changes we've made to our habits as music listeners over the past 25 years. From records to robots, our approach to listening and the way we receive music has altered what we get out of the experience. Also, bring back Songza. Songza was a good little app. Word of the Week: holocaust You can donate to the podcast by visiting ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/retrospectstation

    The Drunk Men Across My Floor | Retrospect Station Ep. 9

    Lazy and fat, they lie about on the floor all summer, and they STINK. In this week's episode, Elizabeth shares her loathsome encounter with earwigs once she started living in a house. It turns out the best way to keep them away is garden herbs. Also, we have to learn to love the bugs immediately. Bugs are our survival.

    The Truth About What Happened to Me in Ottawa | Retrospect Station Ep. 8

    I was supposed to be someone I chose. In this week's episode, Elizabeth gets emotional about her struggles with academia and career expectations growing up. Trying to fulfill someone else's well-intentioned goals can destroy your destiny. I've since had to convince myself I was never a failure, because it was never a fair fight. There is no Word of the Week this week. I feel this episode deserves to breathe. You can donate to the podcast by visiting ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/retrospectstation
