Polarized

Beyond the Blackout: What’s Really Happening in Iran? As news from Iran becomes increasingly difficult to verify, Steve sits down with Hossein for an unvarnished discussion on the nationwide unrest. This is an unedited conversation focused on the facts, the geopolitical stakes, and the stories the media isn't telling you. No scripts, no spin—just the raw truth.

Who's ready for more "Wait, what?" In Episode 2, We’re diving headfirst into Flat Earth theories, from suspiciously straight horizons to flight paths that laugh in the face of a spinning globe. Hold onto your tinfoil hats—this one ends with a mind-bending question: Are we living in a simulation?

Buckle up, astronauts (or should we say… terranaughts ?), because this week we're heading to the edge — literally. In this episode, we boldly go where no globehead dares: the world of flat Earth theories and other things! Join us as we unpack burning questions like: 🌍 What’s REALLY beyond the Antarctic ice wall? (Spoiler: It’s not good Wi-Fi.) 🚀 Are NASA employees really just paid actors with gr...

After an unexpected hiatus (we blame life... and maybe a few technical difficulties), Polarized is officially back in action! Tarah and Steve dust off the mics, catch their breath, and prepare to dive headfirst into the latest ridiculousness of 2025, plus topics and ideas for future episodes. New episodes drop biweekly- unless we accidentally take another “creative pause.” (Kidding. Mostly.)

The Circus is in town...

This week, we break down the biggest political controversies involving Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.

Topics Covered: 🔹 Elon Musk – Facing backlash over gov...

Buckle up, because this episode is taking off—whether we’re cleared for takeoff or not! We’re diving headfirst into the Toronto plane crash (don’t worry, we’re keeping it light... somehow), former MP Ruby Dhalla’s latest headlines (because why not?), Trump’s latest reality show—er, political move—and Elon Musk’s grand plans to either save the world or launch it into interplanetary bankruptcy. Oh,...

Buckle up, folks—this episode has more turbulence than a Washington helicopter! We’re covering all the chaos, from drones over New York to the troops piling up at the southern border just in time for mass deportations. Meanwhile, Canada’s having its own identity crisis: Trudeau "resigned" (but not really), the Liberal leadership race is happening (but not for Chandra Arya), and Mark Carney might j...

Tarah and Steve take a meta moment to review their own podcast, diving into the highs and lows. They share the chaotic challenges of podcasting, like figuring out who’s responsible for scheduling and show notes (spoiler: neither wants to do it), and navigating those awkward moments when they accidentally agree on something. Plus, they make some bold predictions and plans for 2025, including Tarah’...
