    Mona und ihre seltene Krankheit

    Mona und ihre seltene Krankheit

Bei einigen Yoga-Übungen fällt es Mona allerdings schwer, das Gleichgewicht zu halten und auch beim Laufen hat sie Probleme. Das liegt an ihrer Krankheit HSP. Jana findet heraus, was es mit dieser Krankheit auf sich hat.

    Icons and iconoclasts part 1

    Icons and iconoclasts part 1

    We live in a highly visual culture — the image is king, and image-breaking is a key form of protest. But this is hardly new; idols, icons and iconoclasts have been part of the human story for millennia. We’re all familiar with these words though, even if they carry slightly different meanings outside religious contexts. So what’s going on?

    Vrasidas Karalis is Professor of Byzantine and modern Greek Studies at the University of Sydney.

    Michael Galovic is an artist and iconographer who has spent at least five decades painting icons, mostly from his studio on the New South Wales Central Coast. A book of his work, called Icons + Art is available.

    Sophie Matthiesson is Senior Curator of International Art, Auckland Art Gallery in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the initiating curator of Heavenly Beings: Icons of the Christian Orthodox World.

    Jane Clark is Senior Research Curator at MONA — the Museum of Old and New Art — in Hobart Tasmania, where you can see the Heavenly Beings exhibition until Easter 2024.

    Ep. 122 | Outhouse of horror | Man is in relationship with Mona Lisa

    Ep. 122 | Outhouse of horror | Man is in relationship with Mona Lisa

    A 40 year old woman in Washington state fell into an outhouse toilet while trying to retrieve her cell phone. And now I'm really scared to go in one.

    Each episode of Stranger Things costs $30 million, while each episode of House of the Dragon is under $20 million. Just more reasons for me to be mad at Game of Thrones.

    An artist and painter named Domingo Zapata is claiming to have a romantic and sexual relationship with the Mona Lisa.

    Some guy got caught with two pounds of gold up his butt at an Indian airport.

    What question is on YOUR mind?

    What question is on YOUR mind?

    The first season of Am I Normal? centered around the questions of data journalist Mona Chalabi. In Season 2, launching in September this year, we want to answer the questions on YOUR mind. If you’ve ever wondered if something’s normal–whether that something is about you or the world AROUND you–or you just have that nagging question you simply NEED the data on, then Mona’s excited to figure it out with you (or to at least try to)! Leave a voicemail at (919) 446-5131 OR drop us an email or voice message at aminormal@ted.com

    Should you break the law?

    Should you break the law?

    The obvious answer: no. Though you haven’t exactly committed to a life of crime if you jaywalk on an empty street. But if we bend the law on jaywalking, why not drunk driving? Well, there was a time when people thought drunk driving didn't really matter either. So what changed? How do we decide to follow a law or not? What even IS a law? Mona meets with social psychology of law professor, Kenworthy Bilz to understand how laws can (and can’t) shape our behaviors.

    Which box do I check?

    Which box do I check?

    We’re constantly checking boxes on forms, whether it’s for eye color or sexual orientation. Those categories can be empowering or, they can make you feel invisible, like when Mona painted a portrait of 100 New Yorkers based on the New York Census data, and realized she couldn’t see herself. There was no “Arabic” box to check in the census—the closest being “white” or “other.” So what happens when someone spends their whole life checking that box for “other”? Mona talks with nonbinary British Iraqi drag queen Amrou Al-Kadhi about embracing the contradictions of having multiple, wonderful, identities, that SOME people see as conflicting.

    The Spermageddon is coming

    The Spermageddon is coming

    "You should start thinking about kids at your age! Your biological clock is ticking!” When we talk about fertility, there's one section of the population that's consistently subjected to fear mongering: the people with the ovaries. But is that worry backed up by data? Should we be stressed out about sperm too? Scientist Joe Osmundson divulges his own fears and findings on the journey to save his sperm, and Mona breaks down the scientific, cultural, and psychological elements that have shaped the way we think and talk about fertility.

    Should I move home?

    Should I move home?

    Did you consider moving over the last two years? If you did, you’re not alone. People all over the world for so many different reasons considered moving: to be closer to family, to live somewhere more affordable, to kick back in a warmer climate. When Mona wrestles with this question, she pulls out a spreadsheet and weighs her options: Want to maintain current friendships? Stay in New York. Want to be close to family? Go back to London. Money? New York. Self deprecation and sarcasm? London. As she wrestles with her decision, something weird happens. A bird THWACKS against her window, falling dead. Could this be a sign to fly back home, or a coincidence? Mona looks into the data to see the chances and then discovers something that will eventually tip the scales.

    Is my dentist scamming me?

    Is my dentist scamming me?

    When a dentist tells us something is wrong with our teeth, we tend to follow their advice. But when Mona visits two different dentists, they give her two wildly different diagnoses (with wildly different price tags). So how do we know who's telling the tooth? Mona digs up the dental data to look for answers, and finds that in reality, the study of dentistry is riddled with holes.

    How many friends do I need?

    How many friends do I need?

    Time with friends just isn’t the same with a screen in between you. That’s a struggle many have faced recently, with half of Americans saying they’ve lost touch with at least one friend during the pandemic. It can be sad, but is falling out of touch with friends normal? How many relationships should we maintain, and what are the different kinds of friendships we need anyways? Evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar has been studying social relationships for 50 years, and he has answers. Mona maps out her own relationships against the averages, and invites us to do the same.

    When will I get over my breakup?

    When will I get over my breakup?

    Search “How long does it take to get over a break up?” and you’ll find answers ranging from three weeks to three-and-a-half years. Despite heartbreak being one of the most universal human experiences, we know very little about what—and how LONG—it takes to get over someone. On the mend from a breakup herself, Mona set out to find a number while enlisting help from a psychology professor, her relationship counselor, and  yes—her Mum. We’ll find that much like relationships themselves, the answer here is a little … complicated.
