This week we’ve got a man from what he describes as ‘ground zero’, Seattle , who’s currently lockdown in the Dam and here to talk with us about Corona-sports. Kerry, the other half of the Lekker Heavy collective, joins us to discuss why ‘ambushing’ his wife is superior to bringing back bear-baiting. As always keep the hands well-scrubbed and lock yourselves in, as we give you four very different takes on our ‘Corona-sports’. Get in touch and let us know what sports you’ve been doing and whether you’ve given any of our corona-sports a try.

By overthrowing social expectations and gender stereotypes, this wave of 90's ravers is influential to this day. From gender constructs, to camp aesthetics. Club Kids have redefined it all! On that respect we invited Chelseaboy, one of the most prominent Club Kids and performers Amsterdam has to offer, to share with us a part of their artistry. Expect 80's aestheticism, emotional bravery and unapologetic queerness.

The Donkcast is back due to popular demand, and for this episode we have a truly spectacular guest joining us on the show. An inspiration to thousands, a luminary in the Donk scene... LOBSTA B. We play our most beloved LOBSTA B tracks for you, the listener, and Mr B selects 3 of his favourite songs from the ever-globally-growing world of Donk, as well as 2 unreleased LOBSTA B exclusives. If you're wearing socks then prepare for them to be blown off.

Felix sat down with the lovely people at DamMUN to discuss their upcoming online conference on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th of May. It's everything you could want from an MUN, passionate debating, alliances forged, friends betrayed and note based flirtation. There's even talk of a virtual disco on Sunday night...

We have begun a collaboration with Room for Discussion and are now conducting online interviews with some of the world's leading thinkers and academics. The interviews are also livestreamed so be sure to keep an eye on our facebook events! In this first installment we discuss what it means to face 'radical uncertainty' with economist John Kay. Is covid-19 truly an 'unknowable unknown'? Are we prepared to deal with its economic impacts? In the long-run - maybe. Right now - who knows?

This week the Comedy Undergradz talk to Zoe Brownstone, a comedian from Canada based in Amsterdam who risks being deported because stand-up isn't considered art by the Dutch government. They're here to prove it is! Benedetto and Lara dissect Zoe's joke about women's pockets, give a dirty talk training, and cherry on top Diederik with the one-liner-news.

Somewhere between art and abstraction, highbrow and monobrow, George Rallis spells out the content behind our new podcast series. Philosophy, bad music puns and a whole lotta glitter. QQ will attempt to present and showcase, all the fringes of culture in their own non - normative way. Before full throttle though, he starts up the series with a nice little foreplay of getting to know one another by explaining the backdrop which the guests will be invited in and the discourse which they'll be adding to.

Is this a cross over episode? The usual suspects are joined by a rival podcast host Lottie Walker from UvA Radio's Beetroot podcast. Can she handle the heat and raise her game now she’s in the big leagues? We discuss their strangest facts about Corona, fake news and how to survive being with your family in quarantine

Wake Up is a gritty wordsmith hailing from Amsterdam that vocalises his story in English. His pen strictly demands, that thou shall not sleep on this. For this one you have to sit back and emerge, if you want to phantom the depth of lyrical knowledge. Same applies for the food for thought Wake Up spits during the conversational segments of the session.

Yeah yeah thats sick that. What is that mate? Those ephemoral notes. The euphoric bassline. This unstoppable bop rising deep from the core of my soul. I think.... it must be donk.

That's right tony, it's The Donkcast, Episode 1. Felix is joined by donk scholars and all round great guys, Adam Tamimi and Roman. Presenting the finest songs from the emerging world of donk.
