  • Plato's Cave and Us

    The Allegory of the Cave is more relevant than you would think. Let us walk you through Plato's dialogue with Glaucon.

    What is a cave? Who is there? Are you there?

    And after that, we took a turn and thought: "What does the future hold for us?" Are we going to be a conformist dumb-dumbs or something else?  

    Oh, and we caved in and asked DeepSeek some questions. Listen before we get cancelled.

  • Save Amager Fælled

    This episode is about the battle between debt and wildlife in Copenhagen'sAmager Common, - called Amager Fælled in Danish.

    A special and protected place, the home of the protected salamander the Great crested newt, and many more animals. A wild nature open to everyone. A hidden gem that has been under attack for years.

    Frej Schmedes is here to tell us what happened to the park, how the lawsuit is going, and what we can do to save nature and prevent catastrophe. The message is clear: Stop the construction!

  • Luddites PartOne

    In this episode, we venture to talk about the Luddites, Ned Ludd, and King GTP. Yes, you read it correctly!

    The Luddites were members of a movement in England in the 19th century. They often destroyed modern machines that made their craft low-quality and their job redundant.

    Yes, fighters of enshittification before us.

    I hope you enjoy us!
