FOR REAL is a podcast on human dignity, made by Resonate Productions.
In this episode: making your own table - selfcare of a grandmother - carrying your country's responsibilities - abortion.
Recorded on 8 May 2025 at Frascati in Amsterdam.
(01:38) Sarah [°1996 - Utrecht]: “I really struggled being taken seriously because of my age, being a young woman in a very male dominated environment.”
(06:50) Juan Andres [°1996 - Caracas, VEN]: “I’ve been leading marketing teams since very early in my career and I was always amazed at how, being so young and so tiny, I was able to do that.”
(10:05) Raquel van Haver [°1989 - Bogota, COL]: “The moment you don’t speak up, the moment you keep silent, the moment you just look away, that’s the moment you’re actually the loudest.”
(15:15) Kristina [°1979 - Moscow, RU]: “Everything that I loved and admired so much, actually broke down and shattered.”
(19:03) Adi [°1996 - India]: about seeing his grandmother in scarce moments of selfcare, oiling her body.
(24:38) Alydia [°1974 - Oranjestad, Aruba]: “When I was 18, I had my first boyfriend and I got pregnant. I decided not to have that child because I’m a child myself. I was 18 and I had dreams, I had visions, I need to study, I need to move, I need to do things. So I had an abortion.”
(35:40) What do you deserve? “To be immune to those that can hurt you” “To have tears, to have feelings and to share them.”
For each episode of FOR REAL, 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).
