The birth control pill, as its name suggests, influences the body's functioning to prevent pregnancy. But swallowing hormones doesn't only affect what's happening in your nether-regions - it can also change what's happening in the mind. Hormonal contraceptives seem to have possible effects on memory, mood, and even who we are attracted to. But how consistent is the research, really? Spoiler alert: not very. This week, Beth and Ava try to untangle the complicated web of research on psychology, hormones, neuroscience, and even some genetics. And Beth stops Ava from having an existential crisis on the meaning of the self.

Benny and Lara bring you improv! But first, a review of pillows and their connection to your interpretation of reality. They mind melt and go to Melania Trump meeting her long lost daughter that she left in a river. And a little later Sammy and Chelsea learn what an intellectually hard nipple is.

Minds Matter, Ep. 5: Your Mind On Music When we listen to music, our brains light up like fireworks. While listening starts in the auditory cortex, processing also involves memory, emotion, social and motor regions. Clearly, music can make us feel a whole lot, and we’ve all got a vague idea that musical practice can make you ‘smarter’, but how? This week, Beth and Ava are diving into what makes music so powerful. From AC/DC to Drake to Donk - what makes music so universal yet so variable?

Benny and Lara tried something out for you. They did improv inspired by inspirations they suggested themselves into, and man, did they get inspired. They bring you to a scene inspired by hair and they jabady badady the fuck out of there. Then they do a Mexican accent for way too long. Lara's Mexican though, and Italy only did a little bit of colonizing. Does that make it any less wrong?

Big changes ahead in the celebrity sphere! Engagements! Pregnancies! Surprise Albums! Entanglements! The list goes on and on. And Char de Nay is here to guide you through all of it. So chin-chin and tune in for an all-new episode of Pour It Up!

Today we talk to Kenneth Roth is the Executive Director of Human Rights Watch since 1993. We will be talking about increasing opportunities for authoritarianism amidst the Covid-19 crisis. Focusing particularly on the recent developments in Hungary, as the country pivots towards an autocratic government, which curtails freedom of speech, destroys the system of checks and balances, and promotes xenophobia. We also address the effectiveness of the EU response as well through the specific role of the EUP in launching an Article 7 process and the subsequent response of the EU commission and the Member States.

In Cyprus we say that a woman's heart is an abyss. This episodes guest Renay Roussou dives headfirst into this abyss to create her artistic reality. Inspired by her internal world and the surrounding social one. The art is drenched in creativity accompanied by dismorpheic figures. Forming a quasi-eerie feminism that is unapologetically present and existentially thoughtful.

Benedetto and Diederik are back again with the one, the only, bearded so and so, machievalli of the Amsterdam comedy scene... Liam Moclair everybody! An interview of roasts and heart to hearts ensues, with jokes just as thick as the wit is razor sharp.

When it comes to love, science has been a bit slow to realize that romantic relationships don't have to be between one man and one woman. But, a lot of research can be salvaged since the various stages of love (excitement, nervousness, attachment...) are experienced pretty similarly for anyone, regardless of gender, culture or relationship structure. So, what does happen to our brain, thoughts, and behavior when we fall in love? Neural data tells us that it's like addiction or even OCD, but how useful are these comparisons really? We've also got some science-backed practical tips about what you might want to try on a first date, and the best ways to get over an ex.

Beyond covid-19, the only pandemic that is on everyone's lips right now is that of white supremacy. It was about time we start addressing the elephant in the room and slowly deconstruct such a notion.All minorities are oppressed through an element of fear that is normalized and constitutional. This time, hear me solo, spell the abc's of neo-liberal precariousness and ultimately, who gets to be treated as human.

Life is pretty weird when you really think about it. Why do we get sad? Why are there differences between people? What is everything even for, and how do we fit into the larger picture? Frans de Waal knows a lot about apes, and we all know a lot about ourselves, so how can we reconcile the two? Are there a lot of truths that we can discover about ourselves when we look at our more attractive cousins: Bonobos, Chimpanzees, and Rhesus? In one hour, we hope to talk about the meaning of life, morality, nature vs nurture, free will, and all the good stuff with Frans de Waal.

Allie and Jochem are back for Giegling part two to discuss and play some tracks from none other than Traumprinz/DJ Metatron/DJ Healer/Prince of Denmark/Prime Minister of Doom/Golden Baby/Dr. Sun/Kasha.

No one knows this producer’s identity. From techno grooves to soulful breakbeats, everything this person puts out has the Midas touch.

Our minds are where the magic happens - actually they’re where everything happens. Yet, we don’t always have a great understanding of how they work. UvA Radio’s newest podcast, Minds Matter, is here to have a deeper look at that thing in your head. Every episode, Beth Fisher, Ava Ma de Sousa and Noah Simhy will chat about a topic, bringing you some of the psychology and neuroscience research about it along the way.
