Podcast Overview

To us, the word "positionality" is reflective of the social context that influences the issues we face every day. Each individual has a story to tell that shapes the way we understand the world we live in. With an increasingly divisive political & cultural landscape & a seemingly exhaustive news cycle, this realm can feel like a convoluted echo chamber. This podcast, hosted by Avani Ghosh & Diva Sony, aims to shed light on the unheard voices & stories around the world, expand our own perspectives, & find ways to bring about meaningful change. --- Follow our Instagram: @positionalitymedia

Episode 13: The Russia-Ukraine Conflict

From major news publications to social media apps like TikTok, fear of the growing conflict in Russia and Ukraine and warnings of a possible "World War III" have consumed the internet. But what exactly is the Russia-Ukraine conflict? In this episode, we explore the intricate history and development of this crisis while carefully considering how each of the involved party's perspectives and international relations affect what the future of the conflict looks like. We also delve deep into how economic factors such as the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline and control of the Black Sea could possibly drive and hinder a future Russian invasion. Finally, we discuss the effects of a decades-long conflict between capitalism and communism and how the cold war ideologies of the past may still be continuing to harm third-party nations through conflicts reminiscent of proxy wars. --- Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkfEjQiQf5lYwMwGC07OQqA Check out our Instagram: @positionalitymedia Email us: positionalitymedia@gmail.com --- Music Credits: Intro Music | Kairo Serna Reflections | Toshifumi Hinata Gymnopedie No. 1 | Erik Satie

Episode 12: NFTs and Cryptocurrency

If you've been anywhere on the Internet, you've probably heard of extremely wealthy people spending absurd amounts of money on tweets and gifs of Nyan Cat (why... just why?)---all of which have been called "NFTs". But, what exactly is an NFT? In this episode we delve into what NFTs and blockchain are and how they operate in the world of cryptocurrency and cryptoart. We then discuss the involvement of human psychology and hype in the novelty of NFTs and how the way we assign value to certain items or things is rapidly changing in society. Finally, we explore how the seemingly metaphysical, intangible concept of NFTs has real consequences in the real-world, whether it may be catalyzing the evolution of how society operates and makes monetary transactions, or further instigating climate change and environmental disasters. --- Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkfEjQiQf5lYwMwGC07OQqA Check out our Instagram: @positionalitymedia Email us: positionalitymedia@gmail.com --- Music Credits: Intro Music | Kairo Serna Reflections | Toshifumi Hinata Gymnopedie No. 1 | Erik Satie

Bonus: Rent Control

With the COVID-19 pandemic causing global economies to shut down, many people lost their jobs, and therefore ability to afford basic necessities, such as food, utilities, and more importantly, rent for stable housing. However, this issue has always existed, and many have turned to the solution of rent control. But, what exactly is rent control? And is it as truly beneficial as beneficial as we perceive it to be? This episode explores regional rent control policies in Canada, the implications it has on living conditions and the economy, and whether it is truly as beneficial as we deem it to be. --- Check out our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkfEjQiQf5lYwMwGC07OQqA Check out our Instagram: @positionalitymedia Email us: positionalitymedia@gmail.com --- Music Credits: Intro Music | Kaylie Serna Reflections | Toshifumi Hinata Gymnopedie No. 1 | Erik Satie
