From one world calamity to another: Adam Tooze is a historian and professor at Colombia University and has written a book on how the 2008 financial crisis changed our world. In this interview, however, Room for Discussion gets him talking on all things corona. How can we use the dynamics of the 2008 crisis to understand our current situation? What's going to happen to the Trade War, or to emerging markets? These are just some of the topics covered with Mr Tooze.

Allie is joined by Jochem to discuss the German electronic label, Giegling. It’s difficult to put into words the emotions thread together throughout their releases. For one of the label’s founders, Konstantin, when trying to describe this evocative feeling, he notes: “It's a resonance of being…of being in a certain time, with certain people. It's something immaterial, but something true, something worth living for.” Listen to hear our favorite tracks, and a few of our favorite mixes/sets are in the show notes. Good to note: in this episode, Allie and Jochem do not discuss Traumprinz /DJ Metatron….this mysterious genius merits his/her/their own next episode :)

Dear listeners and fellow donk enthusiasts,

I hope you have been enjoying the first 2 Donkcast and are ready for our third outing. Although there is no Lobsta B, it is packed with the insightful and high quality content you have come to expect. However, not all went according to plan in Episode 3, Revenge Of The Donk. A disaster struck that I must shoulder the responsibility for as it was my fault. No excuses can be made and therefore I apologise to you, the listener, as well as the wider donk community. I would also like to apologies to my fellow Donkcast members, although far from perfect themselves (Felix hates Lobsta B, Adam thinks DJ Southern Rail is a trainline). I’m sure my mortal sin shall not be forgotten and I hope to grow as a person from it with time. You may ask what was this wrongdoing of unimaginable proportions. Find out in the latest showing of The DONKCAST only on UvA Radio.

Big Beats,

Roman

Back with a vengeance? More like back with a wine glass. Char de Nay is once again diving deep into celebrity culture and exposing stars left and right. Which new Netflix shows do you need to watch? Who should delete their TikTok account? And why should anybody care about Adele’s weight?

Tune in to find out and join this tea party!"

Frank Sheppard & Floris Nielsen came throughout and delivered some beautiful blues sounds with deep vocals that make you float through your reality. The mixture of spoken word and music make for the title of their new CD, two tales one song. Beautiful yet gritty and raw, check the vibes.

Check our latest Room for Discussion interview with renowned economist Professor Arnoud Boot. As he explains what the EU rescue package includes. A unique crisis requires unique solutions, what can we expect from our European leaders? Arnoud Boot explains his criticism towards the Dutch negotiation strategy, and argues for greater solidarity to prove to markets that the EU is in it for the long haul.

What do asteroid mining, artificial intelligence and synthetic meat have in common? Fully automated luxury communism! In this episode Lenny and Carlota discuss FALC, Aaron Bastani’s vision of the future, and all the technological and societal changes necessary to bring it about: UBI, solar energy, information technology… in a world beyond work and scarcity.

There's nothing we love more than a good party. From an intimate dance session, to a big old dirty f*ing rave, partying has within it a political dimension and a social gravity. From safe spaces and illegal raves, the dancefloor can function in therapeutic ways for those that don't belong. No-one knows this better than creature of the night, Calliope Mettas. We invite her to share her story as a raver in the 90's and her opinions, as creative director of HisDarkElements.

In this episode Marta and Lottie made it out of the house! We are back in the studio to compose the communal poem, a combination of lyrics from every guest we’ve had the pleasure of having on the show. We reminisce over our first season and unriddle these bizarre circumstances all over a cup of tea.

4 episodes later, Benedetto, Lara, and Akos introduce themselves to you. Benedetto's new on Instagram and reveals his dumbass super secret technique to get followers. Lara started taking birth control and it makes her sad, but also kind of funny? She tells us in a (we think) New Yorker accent. Akos is from all of the worst countries. 4 of the worst to be exact. The bottle line is that they tell you about them and they read Ariana Grande like prose, which it is. Give it a listen.
