Benny and Lara do improv. PSA minute 4 to 10 is us figuring out how to melt our minds into one suggestion. We melted and bring you improv where Scottish lads piss Irn Bru and Elon Musk and his mysoginistic robot tell us about their love for trash. We then go on to a country band band splitting up and their lead guitarrist, Spade Number Three, finding his own way--through his Oklahoma fan, Mary Anne. Get in here.

Minds Matter, Ep. 5: Your Mind On Music

When we listen to music, our brains light up like fireworks. While listening starts in the auditory cortex, processing also involves memory, emotion, social and motor regions. Clearly, music can make us feel a whole lot, and we’ve all got a vague idea that musical practice can make you ‘smarter’, but how?

This week, Beth and Ava are diving into what makes music so powerful. From AC/DC to Drake to Donk - what makes music so universal yet so variable?

Benny and Lara tried something out for you. They did improv inspired by inspirations they suggested themselves into, and man, did they get inspired. They bring you to a scene inspired by hair and they jabady badady the fuck out of there. Then they do a Mexican accent for way too long. Lara's Mexican though, and Italy only did a little bit of colonizing. Does that make it any less wrong?

Big changes ahead in the celebrity sphere! Engagements! Pregnancies! Surprise Albums! Entanglements! The list goes on and on. And Char de Nay is here to guide you through all of it. So chin-chin and tune in for an all-new episode of Pour It Up!

This week Diederik and Lara become friends, LIVE, for your very own cughead listening pleasure. They ask the questions you didn't know you needed, like where's a gypsy from, how come the Statue of Liberty is a woman, and how shit of a person can you be if you know you're being shitty? And they. Got. Illustrated. Opinions. Also, there's loads of negligent social commentary, about not wanting children to.... die? Get listenin.

Today we talk to Kenneth Roth is the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch since 1993. We will be talking about increasing opportunities for authoritarianism amidst the Covid-19 crisis. Focusing particularly on the recent developments in Hungary, as the country pivots towards an autocratic government, which curtails freedom of speech, destroys the system of checks and balances, and promotes xenophobia. We also address the effectiveness of the EU response as well through the specific role of the EUP in launching an Article 7 process and the subsequent response of the EU commission and the Member States.

In Cyprus we say that a woman's heart is an abyss. This episodes guest Renay Roussou dives headfirst into this abyss to create her artistic reality. Inspired by her internal world and the surrounding social one. The art is drenched in creativity accompanied by dismorpheic figures. Forming a quasi-eerie feminism that is unapologetically present and existentially thoughtful.

Benedetto and Diederik are back again with the one, the only, bearded so and so, machievalli of the Amsterdam comedy scene... Liam Moclair everybody!

An interview of roasts and heart to hearts ensues, with jokes just as thick as the wit is razor sharp.

When it comes to love, science has been a bit slow to realize that romantic relationships don't have to be between one man and one woman. But, a lot of research can be salvaged since the various stages of love (excitement, nervousness, attachment...) are experienced pretty similarly for anyone, regardless of gender, culture or relationship structure.

So, what does happen to our brain, thoughts, and behavior when we fall in love? Neural data tells us that it's like addiction or even OCD, but how useful are these comparisons really? We've also got some science-backed practical tips about what you might want to try on a first date, and the best ways to get over an ex.
