These are the words that famous R&B musician Drake sang in his massive hit ‘Hotline Bling’. That was back in 2015, and now, five years later, Drake’s words are more in tune with reality than ever. In 2018, figures from the Danish Energy Agency and the phone company 3 showed that the Danes are increasingly turning their backs on phone conversations. That year, the Danes spoke one billion fewer minutes on the phone than in 2017. And if we glance at the statistics since 2005, one in every four phone calls have disappeared. In other words, phone conversations may slowly end up being over and out. In this podcast, Jesper Tække, Associate Professor of Media Studies at Aarhus University, and Bent Meier Sørensen, Professor at the Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy, each give their professional perspectives on what makes phone conversations so unique, how they contribute to our conversation skills, and what the consequences would be if we stop calling each other.

Stress levels among Danish students are skyrocketing. Since 2013, the number of students between the ages of 25 to 34 who feel stressed has risen from 29.3 to 41.3 percent. And there’s nothing to indicate that the curve will stop its upward climb. But what’s the best way to handle the familiar cocktail of physical stress and guilt that crop up during the exam period? We got hold of Line Jønsson Vørre who changed her exam routine and has gone from being an unhappy, stressed-out student to being calm and relaxed. Plus, we ask theologian Camilla Sløk to help us understand what this constant barrage of bad conscience and guilt is all about, that’s crippling Danish students. And of course, we ask the question: What can universities like CBS do to reduce the amount of guilt that exams can create? Participants: Associate professor Camilla Sløk and CBS-student Line Jønsson Vørre.
