Was macht Männlichkeit heute aus? Auri und Sebastian sprechen mit Autor und Aktivist Fikri Anıl Altıntaş über Rollenbilder, Feminismus - und rufen Sebastians Papa an. Zwischen Macho-Klischee und Unsicherheit: Wie findet Man(n) da seinen Platz?
Johanna Kurkela is the lead singer of progressive folk group, Auri. If you open heart and ear to the mesmerizing, hauntingly beautiful soundscapes of AURI, you might find a beacon of light inside a sonic realm untouched by today's often scary, grim realities; a dreamscape that can be profoundly uplifting. On their third studio album, III - Candles & Beginnings' the stars have aligned yet again. Propelled by the unique and celestial voice of Johanna Kurkela, the magical textures of Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen and the almost unlimited musical palette of Nigtwish multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley, Auri have presented a world to be unlocked with the senses, blending folk, progressive and symphonic elements, world music, pop and avantgarde. Right after completing Nightwish's 2024 monument Yesterwynde, the songwriting for the third chapter in Auri's musical adventures started in 2023, with Troy writing in Yorkshire and Tuomas and Johanna working their creative magic in Kitee, Finland. By Autumn 2024, a 10-song demo was complete, setting the stage for what would become another breathtaking Auri journey. The band and their trusted engineer Tero "Teecee" Kinnunen took the mixing process to sunny Spain, letting the Andalucian vibes infuse the music whereas in March 2025 mastering was wrapped up by Tim Oliver at the legendary Real World Studios - a ground-breaking recording complex started by Peter Gabriel in 1989. The album is a tapestry of emotions - each song a world of its own, touching on childhood memories, vivid life experiences, and even a nod to one of the group's most beloved places on Earth - The Lion Inn at Blakey Ridge, a historic spot nestled in the North York Moors and one of the most remote pubs you will ever find. Visually, the cover artwork by Pete Voutilainen, layout and watercolors by Mikko Pankasalo plus calligraphy by Johanna Kurkela provide wonderful illustrations perfectly capturing Auri's unique musical visions. With guest musicians like Frank Van Essen (strings), Jonas Pap (cello), Juho Kanervo (basses), and the incredible drumming and percussion courtesy of Nightwish's Kai Hahto, Auri III - Candles & Beginnings is as lush as it is atmospheric and provides astonishing dynamics. Having been a studio endeavour in the past, Auri is finally going on tour with their first-ever live European trek kicking off in August 2025, followed by summer festivals in 2026, allowing you to hear, see and feel songs from their previous two albums, as well as brand new pieces from III - Candles & Beginnings (such as the atmospheric new video's ‘Shieldmaiden' and ‘Museum Of Childhood'). Its been a long time coming, but coming it is...

Inspired by an action figure, Auri goes to put her face on. We ship an all-time bad episode as we fail to remember anything about the proceeding books and try to talk about what Kvothe thinks of Auris' gifts, who else Auri hangs with, the real-world history of cosmetics, and where Auri goes to poop. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Auri discourses on her knowledge of the true nature of things. We talk about how magical this page feels, and on the precise nature of that magic (despite technology crapping out!).

Auri debates doing something drastic to get this candle made. We open with our most sizzling open of all time, before discussing the nature of the moon as it relates to alchemy, how Rothfuss tantalizes us with the details (and lack thereof) of alchemy, and what Auri's relationship with Mandrag can tell us about the timeline of events. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Für den großen Knall am Ende der 14. Staffel haben Auri und Sebastian ihr Reportermikro eingepackt und haben es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, dem Schmuddelimage von Pornos auf den Grund zu gehen. Gibt es wirklich Anbläser? Wie bleibt der Penis so lange steif? Und wird in einer dunklen Industriehalle gedreht?! Auri und Sebastian sind bei einem Pornodreh der Pornoproduktionsfirma Cheex dabei. Und sprechen mit den Verantwortlichen hinter der Kamera: Was macht einen fairen Pornodreh aus? Und wohin muss sich das Pornobusiness verändern, um den shady Ruf zu verlieren? Aber auch mit den Leuten VOR der Kamera haben die beiden gesprochen: Wie sucht man sich einen Pornonamen aus? Und ist dirty talk auf Deutsch immer cringe? "Im Namen der Hose” - das große Staffelfinale!
Auri laments her mistake… or does she?. We finish our talk about modern film trailers before talking about numerology, the significance of the moon's appearance, and Auri's instinct to blame herself. Content warning: at about 10:30 we discuss the page's implied sexual assault. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
Am Samstag kommt unser großes Staffelfinale raus - Auri und Sebastian beim Pornodreh mit dem Schwerpunkt dirty talk! Um euch schon mal darauf einzustimmen, haben sie sich Unterstützung bei Meini und Tschuggi von "Das schaffst du nie!” geholt. Die vier waren bei der 24h Live-Challenge im Livestream auf YouTube zu sehen - und mussten aufpassen, keine schweinischen Wörter zu benutzen. Meinis und Tschuggis Aufgabe war es, den dirty talk aus Auris und Sebastians Reportage in ein YouTube-konformes Deutsch zu übersetzen. Ohne, dass sie von YouTube gesperrt werden. Haben sie es geschafft?
Jordana is back as Auri's mind wanders and she takes a bad fall. Jordana clears up her whereabouts while we talk about the Parable of the Monk's Cup, the wider strategy of making us care about a character before destroying them, Fulcrum's characterisation of having jumped away from Auri, and come up with a new theory about when poetry shows up in the prose. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Sie sind oft weich, verstecken sich gerne mal bei Kälte, schwitzen im Sommer und sind ziemlich empfindlich: Hoden. Aber gerade weil sie so empfindlich sind, kann es auch Spaß machen, sie ins Sexgame miteinzubeziehen. Auri und Sebastian erzählen, welche Erfahrungen sie damit schon im Bett gemacht haben - von super nice bis Aua. Und Urologe Nico sagt, worauf man unbedingt achten und ab wann man(n) ins Krankenhaus sollte.
Auri eats some pretty mid pea soup. We talk about the phrase “to a tee”, the wordplay in how Auri names things in the underthing, and give Jordana some advice.

Waxen, rasieren, epilieren: Warum schämen wir uns für manche Körperhaare so sehr, dass wir sie mit viel Aufwand, Zeit, Geld und manchmal auch Schmerzen entfernen? Auri und Sebastian machen einen Deep Dive in die Geschichte des Enthaarens und bekommen Input von einer Körperhaar-Expertin: Autorin und Journalistin Franziska Setare Koohestani. Sie hat iranische Wurzeln und sich schon sehr früh mit ihren eigenen Körperhaaren auseinandersetzen müssen. Ihre Erfahrungen und warum sie z.B. schon in der Grundschule ihre Oberlippenhaare hat bleichen lassen, hat sie in ihr Buch "Hairy Queen” gepackt und mit Auri und Sebastian darüber gesprochen.
