The Ordinary Effect
Welcome to The Ordinary Effect—the podcast that shines a light on life’s most overlooked moments. Each episode explores something you’ve likely seen, felt, or wondered about—but never really unpacked. Whether it’s a tiny social habit, a quiet cultural shift, or just that odd thing people do on elevators, host Guido Piraino digs beneath the surface to reveal the deeper meaning behind the mundane. It’s smart. It’s human. It’s what happens when you start paying attention.
The stuff we all notice—but rarely talk about.

Post-Election Fallout in Canada & NHL Ref Drama: What You Need to Know
In the wake of Canada’s latest federal election, the political dust has settled into a familiar—but increasingly fragile—landscape: a Liberal minority government, a fragmented opposition, and a nation grappling with division, misinformation, and disillusionment. In this episode, we unpack the results, the public’s polarized response, and the disturbing rise of conspiracy theories. But more importantly, we explore the way forward—through fact-checking, civic decency, and constructive engagement. Canada isn’t broken, but the way we talk about politics might be. Join us for a candid conversation about embracing truth, resisting tribalism, and making decency our political compass.
