FOR REAL

FOR REAL is a podcast on human dignity, made by Resonate Productions. In each episode, 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). This episode was recorded on the 30th of October 2024, Schuur, Haarlem, 17u30. In this episode: (01:25) Jolanda [°1969 - Terschelling, NL] "We need the other 50% too, to start to make a difference. I would love to find men who say: I was one of those men and I'm sorry." (04:50) Tuhin [°1988 - Kolkata, IN] "When I work with women, I see they put in 20 times the work. They question if they belong here. That confidence will take a lot of time to build. This is very counterproductive to the ecosystem. We all play a role here." (10:05) Francesca [°1991 - Montepulciano, IT] "The responsibilities... towards my daughter. Her education, giving her food, transmitting values. Breaking the chain of traumas I am inheriting from the past. Which might be one of the hardest responsibilities on my shoulders. Transmit her the feeling she is not alone in her struggles in the world. She does not need to surrender to the individualism around us." (14:19) Gina [°1990 - Amsterdam, NL] "Everybody listens to my brother all the time, he talks all the time. That frustrates me. I wanted my family to listen to me. I raised my voice, the response was: 'Gina! You put all the attention on you! You are probably drunk.' I had to laugh and then I got really sad." (19:34) Rachel [°1983 - Leeds, UK] speaks with Tabitha [°1987 - Albuquerque, USA] who was thinking about her mother a lot. "I was a responsibility on her shoulders. She cleaned houses and felt invisible." Rachel speaks about the fear to speak out, and experiments with expressing herself in public, for example in her own music. It takes a lot of courage. (24:35) Marelie [°1978] meets Durga [°43 years old, I think]. "I said no to be interviewed by Andrea. I think only sad stories about women will be remembered. I was worried people only remember sad stories. I deserve a strong voice. We deserve strong stories." Marelie: "My mom was sent off as an au pair, her brother was allowed to go to college. I am so happy to hear different stories from the people in their 20s now."

All interviews are carried by improvised music, made by George Dumitriu (viola, guitar), Sarah Jeffery (recorders) and Andrea Voets (harp). This episode was recorded on the 27th of October 2024, POM, Eindhoven (NL). In this episode: (01:25) Saskia [°1970 - Groningen, NL] on the position of women in physics. "I am full of stories. I have been interviewing female physicists of color and I was crying behind my laptop. And then a colleagues is telling me I am making things up." (06:42) Arnoud [°1978 - Zeist, NL] "I am the oldest son of the oldest son. So responsibility becomes a big issue. Be in control." And a U-turn that had to be taken. (12:37) Mauricio Diaz [°1981 - Mexico City] "A very important thing is to matter and to be respected. And to be alive." (18:23) Inge [°1988 - USA/NL] recently became a mother herself, which started conversations with her own mother. "It's so similar, what we experienced. Which makes me sad. Women are still so pushed as women." (21:47) Astrid [°1990 - Columbia] "I loose my voice. I do want to say things, but feel that nothing that I would be capable to say is meaningful. Because I have been harmed, I don't want to harm." (26:44) What do you deserve? To be more proud of myself. To be able to speak my mind. To be respected as a man in my vulnerability. To be loved and be happy, as we all do.
