Things of Interest

Things of Interest is hosted by Serena Chen and Sophia Frentz, and is a podcast that encompasses, in its purest form, things that we find interesting. Our discussions often center around technological advancements and how they affect social issues. As two socially-conscious millennial nerds, who is better placed to talk about artificial intelligence, leadership, bitcoin, quantum computers, gene editing, and fandom? Probably no-one.fandom? Probably no-one.

    What does it mean to be a good ally? How can better support each other without drawing unwanted attention to ourseleves? What does allyship mean in a world obsessed with individual personality, and how do we normalise and advocate for different styles of allyship?

    Scams

    Today: scams. Sophia talks about the wild ride that is Elizabeth Holmes's Theranos. How are we scammed? What do they target? How can we protect ourselves, without losing trust and goodwill?

    Feelings to Action

    I can only describe this episode as catharsis. We start with a mini-therapy session as we discuss our feelings and the different ways we manage them. Then, as we feel stronger and more capable, we move on to discussing the real change that we can influence to make the world a better place for everyone. This episode uplifted me and placated my worst anxieties. I hope you enjoy it too.

    Perfectionism and Procrastination

    Why do we procrastinate? How do we overcome our perfectionist tendancies, without sacrificing quality and pride? Today we have a nice, lowkey, casual chat about our personal approaches to perfectionism and procrastination, and riff of what works and doesn't work for us.
