Tässä jaksossa Jenni ja Joonas perehtyvät seksiasentoihin. Niiden moninaisuuteen, merkityksiin ja siihen, miksi “oikeat” asennot ovat aina yksilöllisiä. Miksi asentojen merkitys jää usein huomioimatta ja miten pienikin muutos asennossa voi muuttaa koko kokemuksen?Jaksossa avataan myös seksin ja pornon eroa — sekä sitä, miten esimerkiksi pornon seksikuvasto muokkaa odotuksiamme.Lisäksi pohditaan, miten flirttiä ylläpidetään pitkässä parisuhteessa, ja miten pienet arkiset eleet ylläpitävät yhteyttä. Entä voisiko seksin harrastamista “harjoitella” kumppanin kanssa — ja miksi se kannattaa?Seuraa Himocastia Instagramissa @himocast — jatketaan keskustelua siellä!
Pitkä poditauko on ohi! Seuraavan MIETI VÄHÄ!n vielä vähän hautuessa Joonas ja Vade ovat jälleen lukeneet, vähän. Venäläis-yhdysvaltalainen Emma Goldman on yksi historian tunnetuimpia anarkisteja, jonka palopuheet villitsivät työkansaa taisteluun ja esivaltaa sortotoimiin. Miltä Goldmanin tunnetuimmat tekstit vaikuttavat nykyään, mitä niistä voi löytää nykyhetkeen? Miten anarkismi eroaa demokraattisesta osallistumisesta? Voiko politiikka olla iloista? Miten Goldmanin tekstit suhtautuvat viime aikaiseen filosofisen anarkismin paluuseen, puhumattakaan viimeaikaisista konkreettisista uusista yhteiskuntakokeiluista? Missä on osuuskuntaliike kun sitä tarvittaisiin? Ja mitä on "boomer metaphysics"? Lähde mukaan lukumatkallemme kohti Leipätubea ja sen yli. Lähdeviitteet: Goldman, Emma.

Nyt on luvassa tajunnanräjäyttävä jakso. Jenni ja Joonas saavat vieraakseen ihmissuhdedynamiikkoihin erikoistuneen psykologin ja Ensitreffit alttarilla-ohjelman asiantuntijan Iida Mäkikallion! Jaksossa syvennytään haluun ja seksuaaliseen vetovoimaan. Miksi joskus koemme vetovoimaa toiseen ja taas toisinaan emme? Miten kontakti omaan haluun ja tahtoon vaikuttaa ihmissuhteisiin? Entä miten erillisyyden kokemus vahvistaa vetovoimaa?Iida tuo esiin oivalluksia halun kokemuksesta ja kyvystä ilmaista omia tarpeita. Miten jo lapsuudessa opitut roolit ja yhteiskunnan normit vaikuttavat kykyymme olla sinut halujemme ja tarpeidemme kanssa? Tämä jakso tarjoaa käytännön vinkkejä ja syvempää ymmärrystä siitä, mitä itsemme kohtaaminen todella merkitsee ihmissuhteissa. Seuraa Himocastia Instagramissa @himocast ja liity keskusteluun!
I dag er Dina og Joonas tilbake i studio! Vi tar et nostalgisk dypdykk tilbake til barndommen vår. Som to 2002-barn snakker vi om ikoniske spill som Club Penguin, Panfu og andre klassikere vi vokste opp med. I tillegg tar vi en titt på de nyeste spillnyhetene — blant annet Twitchcon drama, ryktene rundt Battlefield 6, og det uventede samarbeidet mellom Fortnite og The Simpsons! I studio: Dina og Joonas
Toni, Tobias og Joonas tar deg med på en heisatur på det rustne, slitne møkkatoget vi kaller Krenkelseskanalen. Toni beklager seg, og setter fyr på studio i det nye stikket "Kansellerbarz", Tobias hisser seg opp over lydbøker og har blitt digitalt ertet, mens Joonas bringer inn en innsenderkrenkelse. God hælj! Produsent: Joonas Tomas Tuomikoski Ansvarlig redaktør: Vilde Havn
Tällä kertaa Jenni ja Joonas nostavat pöydälle kiinnostavan teeman. Mitä itseasiassa tarkoittaa halujen eriparisuus? Halujen eriparisuudessa ei niinkään ole kysymys psykologisesta tai fysiologisesta ongelmasta, toki ne voivat olla vaikuttavia tekijöitä, vaan sosiaalisesta ongelmasta. Halujen eriparisuuteen liittyy vahvasti ihmisten välinen dynamiikka. Miten voimme parhaiten luoda tilaa keskustelulle aiheen äärellä, silloin kun halut eivät kohtaa? Jaksossa tuodaan esiin käytännön vinkkejä ja konkreettisia esimerkkejä, jotta voisimme löytää yhteisen sävelen kumppanin kanssa. Sekä lisätään ymmärrystä, miten yhteiskunnan odotukset hiipivät makuuhuoneen puolelle tuoden oman vivahteensa halujen eriparisuuteen.

Jaksossa Jenni ja Joonas sukeltavat syvälle halun syvyyksiin. Vastauksia etsitään moniin kysymyksiin aiheen ympärillä. Miten halu syttyy? Mitä on halujen eriparisuus? Miten parisuhteessa oma tila ja erillisyyden kokemus voivat lisätä halua? Miten kulttuurilliset asiat muokkaavat haluamme? Yllätyksellisyys ja yhdessä nauraminen voivat olla yksi tie kohti halun valtatietä. Joonas kertoo meille myös uutispommin - miehet eivät aina halua.

Joonas Plaan, a board member of the Estonian Fund for Nature (ELF), discusses the importance of sustainable investing, the role of NGOs in guiding corporate responsibility, and the challenges of quantifying nature's value. Joonas shares insights on successful restoration projects in Estonia and the growing trend of companies supporting environmental initiatives, highlighting the need for a shift in how businesses perceive their relationship with nature. Fiona Alston interviewed Plaan live at Impact Day festival in October 2024. Takeaways The Estonian Fund for Nature focuses on marine issues, climate change, forestry, wetlands, and volunteer work. Investors should prioritize sustainable projects over fossil fuels and greenwashing. Collaboration between NGOs and companies can guide sustainable investments. Nature restoration projects are becoming legally mandated in the EU. Companies can be profitable while being environmentally responsible. The value of nature is often difficult to quantify in monetary terms. Successful restoration projects can attract corporate support without expecting returns. Mastercard's initiative shows how companies can contribute to environmental causes. The future of corporate responsibility includes more investment in nature. Changing perceptions about nature's value is crucial for sustainable business practices. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
