  • Episode 8: The Fourth Quarter Convo - "Social Media"
    Mar 8 2025

    According to a Stats Can website, "in 2022, 99% of young Canadians aged 15-24 used the Internet and 91% used social networking sites". In this Fourth Quarter Convo, Esteban and Maria talk about teens and social media usage, the pros and cons of being active on social media and the influence that SM platforms have on people & especially younger people. The world that 14 year olds navigate today is vastly different from a 14 year old in the late 80s-early 90s and this episode highlights those differences.

    Join Esteban & Maria as they trade views on this topic while snacking on some red velvet cupcakes.

  • Episode 6: The Swish & The Drip
    Feb 19 2025

    It didn't take long for technical difficulties to find Esteban & Maria - their cheapie podcast set up failed but they persevered and still found a way to get their latest episode to you while snacking on some double chocolate chip cookies.

    This week, they talk about the hard hitting world of fashion - The Swish! The Drip! There's lots to discuss like what is the most coveted item on Esteban's list, who his basketball style icon is (any guesses?) and what Maria REALLY thinks about those controversial bootcut jeans.
