    EP 7 > ALI

    Film journalist, paleontologist, certified gamer, but also biggest feminist out there: Ali Arkani came to my bathroom (yes, we recorded this episode in my bathroom) to have a passionate talk about the issues of beauty norms, patriarchal structures, and inclusivity norms in the film industry and beyond. From the sexualization of Wonder Woman, over genderswapping, to blackwashing and radical feminism, he tackles them all!  .

    EP 4 > ANGIE (2/2)

    This week, Angie and I discuss my thesis about how women perceive the male-dominated porn industry and what positive and negative influences it has on society. We also try to make sense out of the taboo around female porn consumption, the double standard around sex and why the billion-dollar sex industry is so heavily judged by the people that are the reason it actually exists. As I spent a year of studying on this topic, this episode is especially close to my heart! If you want to read my thesis on the female perception of porn in a patriarchal society, hit me up on Instagram @letterstowastemen!

    EP 3 > ANGIE (1/2)

    This week, Toronto-based and my partner in crime Angelica joined Letters To Wastemen. Angie also hosts her own podcast called 'Raw Talk'. We split up the third episode in two parts: this week covers various topics such as Angie’s view on wastemen, toxic masculinity, excuses, integrity, the fear of promises and why living up to your own norms and values is the only way of winning at life.  Enjoy!

    EP 2 > VIKTOR

    In the second episode, my good friend Viktor and I talk about what love means to us, key values, the challenge of long-distance relationships, the importance of learning about yourself in connection to others and feeling every emotion instead of fleeing the bad ones and much more! If you are on a tight schedule, fast forward to the second part (around 24min) in which Viktor shares his point of view on wastemen. Enjoy! Because of circumstances, the sound quality is not optimal. Clipping and background noise may occur depending on your listening device. Please try to focus on what is being said instead.
