That’s a great point and absolutely true IMO.

That is a long article that eventually links you to watch a video to learn how to do it. Here’s the link:

My heartbeat is very uncomfortable when sleeping on my left. Apparently it’s a common problem. Sleeping on my right solves this for me.

It depends how you define diversity. The overwhelming majority of content is for the white, Anglicised gaze. You could argue that there is diversity within that group but it is still narrow enough that the content posted is pretty repetitive.

Thank you. Between the trailer and your synopsis I think I will enjoy this :)

They’re more compromised when they can’t support themselves financially.

Kiitos, that was insightful. I’ve heard of the “don’t complain” trait before. I think it can lead to painful repression in us as people.

Essentially the only problems we have is the ones we’ve created ourself, is my point. But then most Finns don’t want to recognise those issues. Which **is** one of the main issues.

That does sound like an impossible situation.

I’m used to see impressive and progressive news about Finland. I know it’s easy to fawn over a place I haven’t been to, but it seems to have its “head screwed on” in terms of governance and quality of life.

This is great 🙏

Thanks 🙏

Oh, this is wonderful. I’ve just subscribed. Thank you!

I like DW and used to follow the Inside Europe podcast, but they had a lot of British and Irish people presenting the shows which sort of dampened the feeling of escapism I had been enjoying.

Thank you!

I’m not interested in the languages themselves. Just looking for different mindsets and temperaments. By different perspectives I don’t mean different politics (although that would be a symptom) but maybe varied worldviews on life.

There’s a TED talk by Lera Boroditsky on how different cultures see the world very differently based on their language. I would ideally like to hear from the people she is talking about, especially indigenous people, but in English. https://www.ted.com/dubbing/lera_boroditsky_how_language_shapes_the_way_we_think?audio=en&language=en

Thanks for asking. The podcast would need to be in English, yes. I’m actually open to all topics except Anglo culture and politics. So, anything from Europe, Africa, Asia, Baltics etc.

Topics could be art, environment / nature, culture, sustainability, mythology, degrowth, decolonisation, cooperative businesses, music and entertainment, local news, books and literature, languages (explored through English), local community and climate.

I’ve subscribed to both based on the background info you gave so thank you again. I do find those histories a bit bleak, having grown up in the (relatively distant) aftermath of it. But if those voices are represented then I think I’d be interested.

I’d like to listen if you don’t mind sharing some links or search terms.

That’s exactly the issue, yes. Also there’s the converging monoculture of English speakers, including my own country, Ireland. So even though English podcasts span a huge array of topics I still feel like I’m listening to the same mindset.

Thank you. 🙏 That is actually right up my alley, although I prefer to hear from the indigenous perspective for now. NZ people of settler lineage are generally the same group I’m trying to avoid (including my own native Irish people who speak English as a first language). I will come back to it though so thanks again.

Go raibh maith agat as sin. Chláraigh mé do “comm” freisin, is breá liom é.

Blood Quantum, for the humour and great cast. Outback, for being based in a true story.
