Simon van Teutem De bermudadriehoek van talent
Hoe knappe koppen verdwijnen in betekenisloze banen
Als aan het eind van een lange werkdag de haren van Morgan Stanley-stagiair Simon van Teutem op zijn toetsenbord vallen, vraagt hij zich af: wat dóé ik hier? Net als veel andere ambitieuze studenten wil hij de wereld veranderen. En toch zit hij tot diep in de nacht te zwoegen voor een bank. Geen wereldvrede, kweekvlees en klimaatdoorbraken, maar Excelsheets, conferencecalls en businessclassvluchten. Hoe is hij hier beland?

Geert Mak Wisselwachter
Amerika-Europa 1933-1945
In Europa kent bijna niemand hem. Toch hoort Harry Hopkins bij de handvol mensen die bepalend waren voor het lot van ons continent en ons land. Hopkins was een voormalige welzijnswerker in de arm-ste buurten van New York. Uiteindelijk werd hij de rechterhand van president Roosevelt, raakte hij bevriend met Churchill en onderhandelde met Stalin. Hij werd de stuwende kracht achter de New Deal en, na 1940, achter het geallieerde bondgenootschap dat uiteindelijk nazi-Duitsland op de knieën kreeg. Het...

World History U–Boat Hunters in the Atlantic
For six years, Britain and Nazi Germany fought a bitter battle for control of the Atlantic. Allied offensives against Hitler's armies on the continent were conditioned by their bases on the British Isles, which made air strikes and landings possible. But during 1939, the Germans began to ‘starve’ the British into surrender by cutting off vital supplies of food and equipment from the Allies. This was done with the help of U-boats that tried to sink more cargo ships than the shipyards could produce...

Sophus Helle Why Alexander Wept
Desire is a strange thing. It is always raging inside us, driving us on to our next pursuit. But figuring out where it comes from or where exactly it is taking us can be surprisingly tricky. Sophus ponders the nature of desire, reflecting on a quote from Die Hard, a scene from Calvin and Hobbes, why he’s not a Buddhist, and what a diamond failed to teach him. To live well, we have to learn to live with the restlessness inside us and to appease it in ways that make our lives richer. Hosted and written...

Sophus Helle The Sex Talk
When we speak of “sexual orientation,” we really just mean whether people are gay, straight, or bi. But people differ from each other in many other interesting ways. Sex, as a realm of difference, is much richer than this single orientation implies. When I talk with my friends about their desires, I am often surprised by how many things it is possible to want. Talking about sex makes sex better, because it opens our minds to an endless expanse of possibility. Hosted and written by Sophus Helle. Sound...

Sophus Helle Drowning a Dragonfly
Why do kids kill insects? It is a strange, disturbing fact that so many of us have, at some early point in our lives, plucked wings off butterflies, burned ants with magnifying glasses, or, in Sophus’s case, drowned a dragonfly. But where does semi-psychotic instinct comes from? In this episode, Sophus explains that our encounter with insects—whether as kids or as adults—is like a miniature moral lab, where we can experiment with our relation to the world. Hosted and written by Sophus Helle. Sound...
