No-Prep Talk

"Humanity has asked if there is life outside of earth for many generations. Do you think they are out there?" - Joana, Romeu and Postiga landing on the otherworldly discussion of life "abroad". For the second episode of the second season, during the second race to space, Joana touches the ET theme.

"What drives us to come together every week to talk about the world and how we see it?" The second season of No-Prep Talk starts with the group expanding on the purpose and drive behind their conversations.

Joana proposes a discussion on sex work, taking into account the judgement of society, or the reality of society that leads to that phenomenon. The group, Joana, Romeu and Postiga unexpectedly revisits another social stigma, in another episode with no preparation.

Postiga brings the topic of homelessness, and the awareness/response of people to that phenomenon, particularly when compared to the activism surrounding animal rights and wellbeing when in similar conditions. The group discusses another theme without prior knowledge of the theme, and hence, with no preparation.

Romeu challenges the group to explore the extent to which each may be considered an artist if the act of creation is not professional or specialised. Is it still art? What purpose does it serve? In parallel, at each episode of No-Prep Talk, as Joana, Romeu and Postiga unpreparedly are challenged with a surprise theme.

Joana questions the group's views on the boom of online dating, and its parallel to the offline reality - in general and specifically in each of their experiences. The group, as in every episode, unpreparedly elaborates on a surprise topic.

Joana proposes a small wander across the life of an expat. Herself, Romeu and Postiga take turns in expanding on how that came to be for each of them, as well as on how irreversible that may be. This is a small introduction to the group, who will, at each episode, face a surprise topic with no previous preparation.

Romeu calls for a debate on what it is to be of a certain nationality. In particular, since all in the group are Portuguese, their national identity is questioned under that context. Once again, the group exposes a bit of their personal background, as they face, at each episode, a surprise topic for which they had no previous preparation.

Postiga brings to the table a discussion on social media: should each's online presence impact the outcome of their professional lives? The group, Postiga, Joana and Romeu, comes together for another episode, in a discussion of a surprise topic for which they had no preparation.
