  • What's your medium? Part II
    Apr 14 2021

    This week, like the last, is a little different. Having last time directed the spotlight onto Annika's documentary filmmaking work, this week it's Maja's turn to introduce herself properly. We delve into her background, her crooked journey, the philosophy behind her work, and the makings of her artistic practice at large.

  • What's your medium? Part I
    Apr 7 2021

    In this episode and the next, we’re switching things up a bit! We talk a lot about art and movies and the like, so we thought we should put all our cards on the table and introduce ourselves properly. We're quite nerdy and both "do art things". In this episode, Maja points the microphone at Annika and quizzes her on her chosen medium (for now), documentary film. Expect a lot of nervous gushing and enthusiastic ranting!

  • The Ego
    Mar 31 2021

    Ego: is it really the enemy, or is it a necessary evil that we need to work in tandem with? Is it egotistical to do something you love because of its self-serving nature?

    In this episode, we dig into how our egos have influenced some of our own decision-making, like falling for a fancy job title and then realising, with horror, that you’re stuck with the job.

  • Courage
    Mar 24 2021

    What is courage, and what does it mean to be courageous? When is expressing your anger an act of courage, and when is it just sheer hurtful recklessness?

    We contemplate the benefits of crying, and rejoice in the joy of following your passions and putting yourself and your work out into the world. Maja recalls her recent “aggressive explosion” and Annika eloquently addresses the importance of articulating your emotions with specificity (hey, that’s a difficult word!). And yes, we still need to work on our endings.

  • Rules
    Mar 11 2021

    When are rules meant to be broken? How do rules differ from norms, and which do we struggle with the most? And when is refusing to wash your hands a crime?

    Annika uses the space as a confessional (spilling her darkest criminal history to our vast audience) and Maja, unsurprisingly, rants about the book she’s reading. We dreamingly ponder about the appeal of tiny houses and living completely off-grid - only to swiftly resort to the fact that hospitals too are, eh, pretty cool. Oh and - how long would it take to row to Sweden?

  • Guilt
    Mar 5 2021

    What role does guilt play in our day-to-day lives, and can it serve us in any way? Could it, like psychology professor Tina Malti suggests, help us become more empathetic? We discover with horror to what extent guilt seems to dictate even our smallest daily activities, from Annika’s 2-hour sofa timer and Maja’s fixation on fancy books.

  • Anxiety
    Feb 24 2021

    The struggles associated with (disclaimer: non-severe) anxiety, not seldom induced by social media. Annika transforms into a doctor with a British accent and our guest psychiatrist Mrs. Splendlefield advocates her highly successful (and expensive) head-banging method. Why does reaching your potential have to get you a Nobel Prize, what’s wrong with building a cabin in the woods with rescue dogs and books? And, perhaps most importantly – the absolute necessity of having friends to keep you sane.

  • Petrified
    Feb 17 2021

    Are we supposed to shy away from things that scare us? Why does Annika keep watching scary movies despite feeling sheer terror afterwards? And what about Maja, who has the lamest nightmares? Should we be worried? 

    Maja and Annika also quiver whilst recounting the actual “real-life” threats they’ve encountered in their lives, from being stalked by a Jaguar in the Bolivian jungle to accidentally contracting rabies...Don't try this at home, kids.
