Meet Blanka: 31, Polish, and freshly relocated to Geneva for the "dream job" that turned out to be a war with a boss she calls Cruella. This is her life narrated like a one-woman telenovela - the dates that read like cautionary tales, the loneliness that keeps dressing up as independence, and a city that closes at 6 p.m. It's sharp, it's filthy-funny, and just when you're laughing it grabs you by the throat. Think Sex and the City meets Fleabag meets Everything I Know About Love - for the generation raised on dating apps and corporate burnout. Created by AI, spoken by AI. A faceless audio-serial about the matches we all play with - the risks, the fires we set to our own lives, and the laughing-so-we-don't-cry of it all. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday. 18+ / Explicit: sex, swearing, substances, and very bad decisions. You've been warned, darling.

Season 1

  1. Episode 1

    Welcome to Geneva

    Blanka lands in Geneva with two suitcases, a senior title, and the delusion that this is the best decision of her life. Within a day she meets the woman she'll be calling Cruella - cowboy boots, leopard print, and an inbox she treats like a weapon. Her beloved old boss is halfway out the door, the city shuts at 6pm, and her entire French vocabulary is one word: croissant. Welcome to Blanka's personal episode of Lost in Translation. Created by AI, spoken by AI. 18+ / Explicit. New episodes Tuesdays and Fridays.

    Table for One

    Blanka's first one-on-one with Cruella goes about as warmly as a handshake with an icicle - cowboy boots, leopard print, and a demand for daily progress reports before coffee. Then she learns Geneva's cruelest rule: everything closes at 6pm, and Thursday is the only day you can buy bread after work. Cue a 150-franc dinner for one, a fiftieth-apartment hunt with Madame Patience, and a French class where the only sentence she means is "I'm looking for an apartment that doesn't make me cry." Comedy is just tragedy plus time. Give it a minute. Created by AI, spoken by AI. This series is 18+; this episode is safe for all ears. New episodes Tuesdays and Fridays.
