A Very Chill Episode with MexCan 😎
It's time to set back and relax as you sip your beverage of choice. ☕️ Join us as we gather for another episode. 🎶
Have you ever looked back at some of your past experiences and realized just how much you learned from them? It's Jamen here, and in today's episode, Alan and I decided to reflect and discuss some of the things we've learned from creating this podcast. It's been wonderful getting to work on a project together that allows us to interact with cool listeners like you.
We also ventured to the topic of language learning. Alan shares some of the ways he incorporates English into his everyday life.
Stay tuned and if you'd like to collab, let us know. 😄

The realities of camping, driving and slow wifi
Grab your coffee and join us as we chat about the realities of living in Mexico and Canada.
Have you ever wondered at what age can a teenager get their driver's license? Maybe you're interested in going camping because you've seen it in movies. Well, let me tell you, not all of these things are as glamorous and simple as they may seem. Although Canada and Mexico have certain similarities, they also can be quite different at times, and some of these differences may be surprising!
From camping to driving, we chatted about it all! 🚗

The Ethics of Music Making
Grab your coffee and join us as we chat about music and the ethics behind it.
You may have heard about some of the recent news surrounding some popular musicians and lawsuits. Alan is the more musically inclined one between the two of us (Jamen here!), and he brought it to my attention. Although we aren't professionals, we do enjoy listening to music like many of you guys. Some of the topics we asked ourselves include:
- What qualifies as copying?
- Finding the line between inspiration and copying
- Is sampling okay?
Thanks for listening!

Long-Distance Relationships with Cassidy and Carlos
Grab your coffee and join us as we chat about long-distance relationships with two awesome guests!
Today's episode is all about long-distance relationships, commonly referred to as an LDR. We had the pleasure of talking to Cassidy and Carlos, a couple who now lives together after being in an LDR. Like us, Carlos is from Mexico and Cassidy is from Canada. It was an absolute pleasure getting to speak with them. Sometimes it feels like travel will never go back to normal, which is something no one in an LDR wants to hear. Realizing that you are not alone, even during these uncertain times, is so important! They shared their story and talked about what it was like flying to one another before they were able to close the gap. We also chatted about some ways to stay close even when you are far away from someone. This episode is ideal for anyone who is in an LDR or is curious about what it is like.
Thanks for listening!

Do We Use Social Media To Represent Ourselves Or To Be More Like Others?
Grab your coffee and join us as we chat about social media.
When we wake up, we grab our phones. When we go to bed, we grab our phones. It's pretty safe to assume that most of us *cannot* live without our handy little devices. So, why is that? In today's episode, discuss the implications of social media. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tik Tok, and every other popular social media platform has a lot of pros and, sadly, a lot of cons. But, the question is: why do we feel so drawn to social media?
Thank you for tuning in! We would love to hear your opinions.

This time the focus is all on habits. Whether you're in university or high school, you've likely developed a few habits that pertain to education. We decided to sit down and discuss what we've learned so far. Do you use online calendars or paper ones? Do you study all at once or break it up into chunks? Do you get enough sleep (if you're anything like us, the answer is probably no!)? Well, those are some of the questions we try to answer in today's episode.
Thanks for listening!

How We Met and Why
Grab your coffee and join us in today’s podcast where we chat about how we met and why!
In 2017, we started chatting on a language learning app. A lot of stuff has happened since then. Not only did we end up improving our respective Spanish and English levels, but we both visited each other’s countries and learned so much! We were looking for a fun way to connect and share our stories. Thus, MEXCAN was created.
Thank you for joining us!
