FOR REAL - episode 16

FOR REAL is a podcast on human dignity, made by Resonate Productions.

In this episode: appearances & identity - the responsibility to be nice - women/men friendships - being a full-time dad. 

Recorded on 7 September 2024, at Gaudeamus, Theater Kikker, Utrecht.

(02:01) Ellen [°1960 - Rotterdam, NL] on an exam of instrumentation in musicology, and the demand of a retake, for the sake of being taken seriously.

(05:55) Emily [°1996 - Canterbury, UK] on appearing as a white woman, when her mother is from Bagdad, who studied mechanical engineering. "My appearance is a barrier to talking about her and her experiences."

(09:40) Daniela Bittman [°1952 - Romania] "I am very aggressive. One of my bosses pinched my behind. What do you think I did? I turned around and pinched him."

(14:15) Elsa [°2004 - Sydney, AU] on the responsibility to be nice to men who offer her advice she does not need. "It would feel scary to say: no thank you, leave me alone."

(18:08) Lilly (CH) and Alberto (ES) on not having female friends. On needing both. How can women and men be friends?

(27:00) What do you deserve? "The freedom to be a man who looks after children. Not to be judged and not to feel less of a man, for doing that."

For each episode of FOR REAL, we get together with a group of people in a theater, to look into what it means to matter as a person. All interviews are carried by improvised music, made by George Dumitriu (viola, guitar), Sarah Jeffery (recorders) and Andrea Voets (harp).
