Left her land, family&friends, but for what?

Is art with a language barrier possible? What does this gap do to our understanding and our interaction - in the performance art project "Black Box Poetry" we explored the influence of language barriers on a poem. Guest Leif and the host Emma have been part of the perfomance team and talk about their experience and what language differences mean to them.

I am Amy, and this is Lately I’ve been thinking.  

I like to have internal debates with myself, and this podcast is basically me trying to make something coherent out of them, and back it up with some info as well as guests as curious and introspective as I am. 

For this first podcast, I will be thinking about the manosphere, and how online spaces have reshaped our relationships. 

My guest for this episode is Joanna. She is a school nurse, and board member of RFSU, the National Federation for sexual education.

Hosted by Fanny, an international student navigating life with Coeliac disease, Zero Crumbs Given explores the sometimes funny, mostly frustrating, and factual realities of living a gluten-free life. To honor Coeliac Awareness Month this May, we are going back to the absolute basics to give a clear overview of what coeliac disease actually is for anyone hearing about it for the first time.

We break down the general landscape of the disease…from classic symptoms to the hidden complexities of "Silent Coeliac," alongside the shocking financial premium of gluten-free grocery shopping. We bridge the gap between recent clinical data and lived student experiences. Featuring an interview with fellow Erasmus student Sanne, we look at how cross-contamination impacts social life, where to find the best support networks across Europe, and how simple, practical allyship from friends can lift an invisible mental burden.

Stick around until the end for a teaser of the next episode!

What is it like to grow up with a sibling who has a disability? In this episode, I speak with Jonas about his experience of having an older brother with autism. Through his personal story, we explore how autism can affect family life, the challenges and adaptations families face, and how their relationship has evolved over time. This episode offers a glimpse into the realities of living alongside a family member with a disability and the lessons it can teach about empathy, patience, and understanding.

Before I came to Sweden for my Erasmus semester, I was afraid of one thing: arriving and staying alone. What if I didn’t find my people? What if a new country never started to feel familiar?

In this episode, I share what actually happened when I arrived, why connections can happen faster than expected, and what other international students experienced during their own first weeks abroad.

I wish I had heard a podcast like this before I left. Maybe it can help someone else feel a little less afraid to go.

In this podcast, I tell short stories based on one hour interviews with interesting people from the wild world of the web.

Today we feature a story from Felicia, a designer who got her first big break working on a dress for the star Laila Bagge, for the finale of Idol 2015.

I checked my screen time last week. Twelve hours a week on social media. If I keep going like this, that's more than four years of my life gone. So I started asking: why is it so hard to stop, even when we know we should?

In this episode, my friend Tjorven shares what happened when she actually tried to use her phone less for a week. Our friend Svantje explains what the science says about why quitting feels almost impossible. 

Welcome to Confetti & Core memories. The podcast where i'll take you through my point of view of all concerts I attended. I'll give you a in depth story about what i experienced as a fan in the crowd. And we also listen to what other people experienced and how they would review their night.

So lights out, raise the volume, and let the show begin.
