The usefulness of useless knowledge

Breaking news: knowing random stuff is officially a personality trait. We’re at TSAN are publishing an ode to gloriously useless knowledge — the kind that won’t help you file taxes but will make you the most interesting person at brunch. From accidental Nobel-worthy discoveries to delightfully pointless facts (yes, sloths really do not poop on the trees where they live), we’re proving that curiosity > perfection. If you love fun facts, a chaotic mix of new information and connecting dots nobody else sees… this episode is your playground!

In this warm and thoughtful episode, the TSAN crew dives into the idea of home — how it changes, multiplies and sometimes disappears altogether as we go through life. From the initial thrill of moving abroad to the nostalgia of sleeping in your childhood bedroom, we explore how shifting places can shift our sense of self at the same time. Can you have more than one home? Do your friends back home still get you? What happens when you imagine the “what if” versions of your life? How many alternative homes could you have built? As always included: laughter, reflection, a few existential detours... Marie & Belén talk about giving yourself grace through change, being kind to yourself in transition and embracing the constant evolution that life is about. Final cringe moment: at the end of the day, home isn’t just a place — it’s an ongoing process and you are the one shaping it.

In this episode, the TSAN crew gets into all things aging — from imagining ourselves at our grandparents’ age to questioning if we’ll ever really retire (or just become 80-year-old Uber Eats drivers 👀). We unpack how aging looks different for men and women, how pop culture shapes our fears about getting older (yes, including that billionaire getting blood transfusions from his kid), and whether money can actually buy youth — or just delay the inevitable. It’s equal parts humor, honesty, and “oh god, we’re getting older” energy - a conversation for anyone thinking about the future and trying to make peace with it. 🕰️ Hosts: Marie Heimburg and Belén Sabroso Ballesteros This is a podcast from K103 Gothenburg Studentradio

Welcome to another immersive experience into the minds of the very opinionated girls that make up The Show About Nothing! This episode was part of Musikhjälpen 2024, which was aiming to collect money to ensure women’s right to survive their pregnancy all over the world. Immediately, we thought about the importance to survive an unwanted pregnancy as well and we embarked on an episode where we discuss why defending the right to a safe abortion is of the utmost importance. During the show, we take a look at our own experience with access to abortion, the societal stigma women who decide to abort face, as well as the state of abortion rights in different countries. Judging by how the world looks a few months after this episode aired, it is as good a time as ever to have a listen and reflect. Enjoy!

Welcome back to a fresh(ish) episode of your fave radio show/podcast, The Show About Nothing!! On this occasion, we invite you to come on a journey with us down our sporty memory lane as we reflect on the influence that sports had on our lives from the very beginning of unicycle shows, swimming medals, mean ballerinas, and pleasing our parents; followed by our teenage glory days of belonging to basketball and volleyball teams and basing our personalities on it. We also go through falling out of love with sports in early adulthood and finding our way back to them whilst trying to avoid all the expectations on female bodies and the constant pressure society bombs us with.
