NT: 0 - Welcome to Natural Toonie!
What is Natural Toonie? Short Answer: Natural Toonie is a Dungeons & Dragons podcast brought to you by the Upford Network. Long Answer: This show takes place in a fictional, alternate-universe Canada, where employees of the Conception Bay Expeditionary Fishery Commission of Her Majesty's Royal Navy of Conception Bay, NFL, or Licensed Fishermen for short, set off on adventures to explore and chronicle the vast, bizarre world of this New Found Land. With our pilot episode launching on January 1st, 2020 (get it? Because 1 and 20 are the worst and best rolls on a d20? I thought it was clever) we're hoping to...

229. Is CEGEP a Waste of Time? ft. Fiona Maynard
Tom & Akeem sit down with special guest Fiona Maynard from the Humble Lion Podcast! We talk about the importance of finding time to rest and spend time with people when you're a Type A workaholic! Then, we give our takes on the CEGEP system (for our non-Quebecois listeners, CEGEP is essentially a mandatory pre-university/college program) before having a long, frank conversation about sex & sexuality!

48. Dreamland by Sarah Dessen
This week, Sania and Teffer review a Sarah Dessen classic from 2000. CW: We spend most of this episode talking about abuse in relationships, and while we don't get too graphic, we do talk about the cycle of abuse and red flags. This discussion may be triggering. We talk about the importance of educating teenagers on how to identify abusive behaviour, and touch on how YA lit can sometimes normalize abusive dynamics - and how this book really doesn't.

Well, it's Summer Time, which means it's like a thousand degrees in our studio! Not at the time of writing this episode description.

From #OneLeague to #NoLeague: The Future of Women's Pro Hockey in Canada
On episode 11 of Changing On The Fly, we tackle the devastating news that the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) is shutting down its operations after 12 seasons. The announcement from the league came just one week after the Clarkson Cup championship match, and the day before many players from the league were set to fly overseas to Finland for the women's world hockey championships. Bad timing to say the least. We break down and analyze what this all means with two of the most passionate voices in women's hockey media. Shireen Ahmed is a writer, public s...
