In this episode we are joined by Silvia Teixeira and Stephane Duponcheele in exploring the fascinating novel legal and policy concerns that are associated with permanent settlement in outer space. We discuss the provisions of the Outer Space Treaty, as well as the current grey areas in international space law.

Alongside currently completing her masters in International Development and Public Policy, Silvia works as a project manager at Nova SBE's Knowledge Centre. She has collaborated as a research assistant on a H2020 Earth observation project. Her interests lie in legal and policy challenges of emerging technologies on Earth and in space.

Stephane is an undergraduate student at UCL, with a strong interest in space law from both a commercial and public policy standpoint.

After a year-long hiatus, we are joined by Camelia and Abe to debate the age-old question: AITA? If you know you know, and if you don’t understand the acronym - go ahead and listen to the episode anyway to find out. We go on a wild journey across reddit to discuss some serious ethical dilemmas, hopefully not getting cancelled in the process.

In this episode, we are joined by Haan Jun (Ryan) Lee, a Korean/American General Course student studying Politics and International Relations. We dive into Ryan’s journey of moving back and forth between Korea, the US, and Indonesia, and how those physical moves affected his perception of identity and feeling of not being part of one specific place. We also discuss some of the cultural differences between Korean and American education, as well as the expectations that come with the culture.

In this episode, we have Vic Andersson Bettencourt joining us, who is a Human Rights and Politics Master student. We cover her childhood and growing up in many different places, dealing with her two very different nationalities/cultures: Portuguese and being part of the Swedish-speaking minority in Finland. We dive deeper into the importance or lack of having a physical home, and how our connection with people/family is so valuable and important for our identity.

In this podcast, we will explore what it means growing up with multiple national and cultural identities and how that has affected who we have become. Do we struggle with belonging? Ultimately, we want to explore the complexities and beauties of growing up mixed and having unique perspectives. We were all born with identity crises!

¡Hola! I’m going to be transparent and say this is maybe the worst edited episode I’ve ever made, but please be nice. Today I speak with mi amigo Pau, and we talk sound tech, gossip about [REDACTED], and promote unions. 

TO ANY FUTURE EMPLOYERS: I was totally lying this whole episode and I would never ever ever join a union please hire me

Hey guys, long time no see - I’ve been AWOL for a while but we’re back and better than ever! In this episode I talk to Anouk (and Felix who I forced to participate in the first half) about nepo babies. In my defence, we recorded this back in December when this was a more trendy topic, but it’s still fun nonetheless. Some rogue picks were included so you have to listen to find out… (Drake please don't sue me) Oh and I speak out about the Taylor Swift psy-op.
