FOR REAL is a podcast on human dignity, made by Resonate Productions. This episode was recorded on the 28th of February 2024 at Splendor in Amsterdam.

For each episode, 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).

In this episode:

(01:44) Marianne [°1968 - NL] on the hidden diversity of hearing difficulties.

(05:14) Yuva [°1984 - Istanbul, TR] on assimilation in her scientific career in a Western country, and the step of assimilating back to yourself.

(08:16) Maryana Golovchenko [°1988 - Ukraine] on the pressure on boys and man. What do you love about yourself, for real?

(13:07) Nicole [°1965 - NL] discusses the moment she felt power over others at a job interview, because of a dress. And how wrong that felt.

(16:27) Nora [°1987 - Hungary & Holland] on the dating market. From ‘medical expert’ to ‘I work in healthcare’ in order to not be intimidating.

(19:52) Anita [°1947 - Amsterdam, NL] on living to be your true self, and being honest with one another.

(23:26) David [°1984 - New York, US] on struggles with family dynamics.

(28:17) Anna [°1987 - RU] recounts how she used to think about her mothers career, compared to her fathers career. She gives thanks: how she is still her child, also now that she is a mother herself.

(36:48) “What do you deserve?” That is a hard question. To be seen for who I am, earlier in life.
