Voices in our heads

This time, Vera, Lou and Paul dive into the world of AI – where the promises are big, the frustrations are real, and nothing works quite like it does with actual people. Vera shares some unexpected moments from her digitalization journey – the good and the confusing. Tune in for honest thoughts on smart tools and even smarter human reactions.

This time, the whole crew is back together - Markus, Paul, Lou and Vera! They are talking about mental load, spring fatigue, and why everything feels just a little heavier this time of year. Markus also shares a bit about his PhD topic - and explains why, when he’s travelling to new places, he sometimes just wants to stand still for five minutes and do absolutely nothing. Tune in for tired brains, blooming trees, and the joy of shared exhaustion.

This time it's just Paul, Lou and Markus (Vera is out sick - how fitting for today's topic!) talking about health and prioritization. Why do we drag ourselves to work even when we’re clearly unwell? What does "taking care of yourself" really mean when the to-do list won’t wait? Tune in for a conversation about boundaries, recovery, and why rest isn’t a reward - it’s a necessity.

This time Paul, Vera and Lou (unfortunately without Markus) talk about their voices on different types of communities. The conclusion of today's episode: There is no community without cake! Strangely enough, it will all make sense when you listen to the episode.
