  1. An Architectural Tour of Skopje

    An Architectural Tour of Skopje

    Take a tour through the architectural history of Skopje with architect Dragan Krstevski, as he leads me through the city I now call home. Skopje’s earthquake of 1963 was a significant turning point that led to a massive rebuilding effort, resulting in a master plan in metabolism style by Kenzo Tange that still defines the city's architectural landscape today. We also discuss Dragan’s involvement in the protests against the controversial urban regeneration program of 2014.

    Data Centres & The Anthropocene

    I’m taking a small dive into the Paris Digital Park for this mini-episode. This mega complex of four data centres, being built in the northern suburbs of Paris, is set to be the largest data centre in Europe. I’m asking, how useful is the Anthropocene framework when analysing data centres?

    How to Save a Building & DokuFest

    Let’s delve into the world of Dokufest, a documentary film festival in the city of Prizren in Kosovo. Pauline speaks with Alba Çakalli, the Festival Producer about the event's beginnings in 2001 and its growth into one of the most important film festivals in the region. We also learn about the festival's impact on the city of Prizren, its people, and the film industry and how the Lumbardhi building is at the centre of it all. The festival is now a major ambassador of Kosovo, bringing attention to the region's rich cultural heritage through qualitative programming and important partnerships with international organisations.

    The world’s most-watched non-sporting event is back this year in the city of Liverpool. But what does it mean for Liverpool to host Eurovision in post-Brexit UK on behalf of Ukraine? Along with Isis Menteth-Wheelwright, we discuss how this international event intersects with geopolitics and what its cultural significance is for wider politics and UK’s positionality on the global stage.

    Hash Brownies & 100 Screens With Martyra Peng: Berlin

    In this episode, I'm joined by Martyra Peng, a long-time Berlin resident. We discuss the impact of gentrification on Berlin and how it is affecting the creative and subculture scene. We discuss the creative class's double-edged nature and the social exclusion of many parts of Berlin society, including migrant communities, and the violence against the LGBTQ community and sex workers. Link to Martyra’s work: https://www.martyrapeng.com/ More about Martyra:  Martyra Peng is one of the most versatile writers in contemporary literature. Her work under changing pseudonyms consists of travel literature, 400 columns, numerous reportages, a highly acclaimed political non-fiction book, blogs, poems, photography and digital art.  Her blog "Hooker Republic" was the eponym for the celebrated play "Lulu - the Hooker Republic" by Volker Lösch at the Berlin Schaubühne. Her open letter to the German government "J'accuse" also found its way into the novel "Bricks & Mortar" by Clemens Meyer. Until the 1st Corona Lockdown, she mostly travelled abroad to create distance from Germany. Most recently, she published the non-fiction book "Sexwork 3.0 - and how we prevent forced prostitution". Her autofictional novel "Bread" is the world of a consequent struggle for advancement in a capitalist environment, where the rebellious outsider Nadine is sorted out as dysfunctional when she shakes the existential foundations of a broken system.
