The rise of populism globally can feel like an unexplainable phenomenon. But maybe the answer lies in a relatively simple cause: discontent. We sat down with @rodriguez_pose to understand how regional economic decline leads to the rise of populist leaders https://t.co/R2JA3jLKVq

We learned that long-term regional economic decline can lead to distrust of "the system," creating a breeding ground for politicians across the political spectrum to provide overly simplistic solutions to complex problems. Tell us what you think, do you see this in your country?

After a long radio silence, we're back! 🎙️ With none other than @DonaldShoup, who turns the seemingly dull topic of parking into a fascinating discussion. 🚗 Explore the hidden consequences of where and how we park—and why it matters:

I hope you enjoy reading this article, part of my PhD project at Utrecht University together with @jaimesoza and Dick Ettema. Otherwise, you can check a podcast in @geoofeverything where I discussed the findings https://t.co/ymRaJFFdo1

Big congratulations to @philippmkoch on the publication of his most recent paper on talent migration! Check out the super interesting episode we recorded and, of course, the paper itself in Regional Studies

From #ChatGPT to #aigeneratedart, the #FutureOfWork, and the role of #ArtificialIntelligence in education, the new possibilities seem endless. On the other hand, we discuss the not-so-nice implications of this massive technological breakthrough

What's better than one episode on #AI with @pa_balland? Two episodes, obviously! The AI space seems to have exploded in the last year, so we invited PA back on the show to catch us up on the new breakthrough and look ahead to their possible implications https://t.co/o2LPFPuJco

Q: How did you get to work or school today? We bet it probably wasn't by aerial cable car. But what if these high-tech ski lifts were a viable public transport option? We chatted with PhD candidate @SantiagCaUrrea for a Little Bits episode on the topic https://t.co/NiCynkqqiB

Thanks for sharing our episode Ilse!

And as a little reminder from the city of Amsterdam ;)

We learn how we got to the modern toilet and the edits we need to make going forward. We talk about innovative toilet tech, sanitation systems and consider the toilet as a place for racial, gender, and class struggle.

The toilet. We (hopefully) use it daily, and yet never think about it. But if you briefly ponder the porcelain pot, it's easy to see its fundamental impact on lives. In this episode, we chat with @chelseawald on the past, present, and future of the potty https://t.co/bHnub4engW

The Geography of Everything: several colleagues have already been featured in this unsurpassed podcast series, and this time it is Ilse van Liempt's turn! @RonniRavid and @ZenneHellinga talk to her about #migration https://t.co/aAKBf2fH1B @geoofeverything @ilsevanliempt @SGPL_UU

In this episode, we talk about the history of migration, how the different factors shape the migration experience, and the ways migrants influence their environments and vice versa. This episode was eye-opening and we learned a ton about the misconceptions surrounding the topic

Happy #WorldRefugeeDay everyone! Migration can sometimes feel like a political minefield. So, we thought the best way to ease these tough conversations is with an episode on migration with the migration expert herself @ilsevanliempt https://t.co/B2heMcpz6N

And if you haven't yet, feel free to give us a 5-star rating wherever you listen to us, and as always, every share matters. We can't wait to share what we've got planned for the next few months, exciting stuff! And of course special thanks to @UniUtrecht and @UUGeo

Huge news!!!!!! Today, our tiny but mighty podcast hit 15K downloads. So whether you've listened to one episode or you're a devout fan, whether you're located in Argentina or Belgium, we thank you. Here's to the next 15K 🥰 To celebrate we made a map, obviously.

We loved having you on!

We talk #NFTs, #cryptocurrency, #bitcoin and whether anything can actually be #decentralized. We chat ethics, the dark web and the future of finance, let us know what you think! Is crypto any different than the “traditional” financial system? 🤔

Ever found yourself in a conversation about #crypto and felt like you were listening to what was essentially alphabet soup? Yeah, same. Don’t worry, we made a podcast with @mattzook about it for the next time you’re in a room with crypto aficionados 😉 https://t.co/sdFDbxq2IM
