In our first episode, we tackle one of the most common and most basic questions students ask: when will I use this? We answer the question generally, explaining how education is to the real world what weightlifting is to sports like football and basketball. We also explain that sometimes, the very thing a student is learning can directly improve their chances of success in the future, like being a good writer or learning a foreign language. We also talk about funny emails and Arabic sentences, and speculate about pet-owning families.
