This band has me super excited! Finland is killing it right now for new talent. Melankolia hail from Oulu, Finland and bring with them Heavy riffs with scream vocals blended into melancholic melody.  Perfect blend for my dopamine chasing brain!    Join us as we chat about their musical journey and message and so many laughs along the way, despite their deep music.

Oulu liegt im Nordwesten Finnlands an der Ostseeküste. Dieses Jahr darf sich die Stadt mit dem Titel „Europäische Kulturhauptstadt 2026“ schmücken. Oulu ist mit gut 200.000 Einwohnern die nördlichste Großstadt der Europäischen Union und fünfgrößte Stadt Finnlands.In Oulu lebt der Underground. Der „Schreiende Männerchor“ und die Weltmeisterschaft im Luftgitarre-Spielen kommen aus Oulu. Und an einer Wand prangt seit den 1980er-Jahren ein Graffiti-Schriftzug „Paska Kaupunni“, was „Scheiß Stadt“ heißt. Doch die Ouluer tragen diesen Titel mit einem gewissen Stolz.Oulu ist ein Paradies für Radfahrer. Fast 1.000 Kilometer umfasst das eigene Radwege-Netz, fast immer fernab vom Autoverkehr, kreuzungsarm dank Unterführungen und mit eigenen Schnellradwegen - so kommt man fix von A nach B. Ein Navi braucht man auch nicht, da die Radwege gut beschildert sind. Radfahren ist die DNA von Oulu.Das Stadtzentrum mit dem Marktplatz und dem Marktpolizisten „Tori Polliisi“ ist kompakt, dafür ist die Natur nie weit. Fast im Zentrum liegt der Strand Tuira am Oulu-Fluss. Hier kann man schwimmen, chillen und Volleyball spielen. Außerdem schwimmt im Fluss eine kleine Sauna: Kesä-Sauna (wörtlich: Sommersauna), ein beliebtes Freizeitvergnügen bei jedem Wetter.Oulu 2026: Europäische Kulturhauptstadt mit Sauna und Sámi https://www1.wdr.de/radio/wdr5/sendungen/neugier-genuegt/feature-oulu-kulturhauptstadt-2026-100.html

Frischer Wind für Gothaer Antiquariat. Nicht nur kleine Verlage haben dieses Problem, auch kleine Buchläden: Wer führt sie weiter, wenn die Aufbau-Generation in Rente geht? Oft gibt es niemanden, der Lust hat für sechs Tage die Woche – für wenig Geld – Bücher zu verkaufen. Und doch sind es gerade kleine Läden, in denen am liebsten gestöbert wird. Auch bei Andreas Zink in der Bücherstube "Hannah Höch" in Gotha. Dort fand sich in allerletzter Minute jemand, der den Laden übernommen hat. Blanka Weber mit einer Reportage.Leipziger Übersetzerin Stefanie Bose ist Stadtschreiberin in Trenčín. 2026 ist, neben dem finnischen Oulu, die slowakische Kleinstadt Trenčín Kulturhauptstadt Europas. Im vergangenen Jahr gab es einen regen Austausch mit Chemnitz (der Kulturhauptstadt 2025). Auch jetzt sind die Verknüpfungen – in dem Fall zu Sachsen – nach wie vor eng. Denn Stefanie Bose, die Stadtschreiberin der westslowakischen Stadt im Kulturhauptstadtjahr, stammt aus Leipzig. Am 1. Mai hat sie offiziell ihr Amt angetreten. Vor ihrer Abreise hat Grit Krause sie getroffen und stellt sie uns vor.Trauerarbeit und Literatur – Ein Buch für den gefallenen Cousin. Die Ukrainerin Anhelina Olijnyk, 25 Jahre alt, hat einen der wichtigsten Menschen in ihrem Leben verloren. Ihr Cousin Maxym, der sich freiwillig zur Armee gemeldet hatte, ist im Donezbecken gefallen. Ihre Trauer hat Anhelina literarisch in kurzen Texten verarbeitet. Sie meint: So könnten auch andere Trauernde besser mit ihrem Schmerz umgehen. Nun hat sie ein Buch mit ihren Texten veröffentlicht, im Eigenverlag, und es bei mehreren Lesungen präsentiert. Sie blickt jetzt wieder positiver in die Zukunft.Peter Sloterdijk: Der Fürst und seine Erben. Der Autor sieht sich selbst als "philosophierenden Schriftsteller". Trockene Akademiker-Prosa ist nicht sein Ding. Er liebt es, in freien Assoziationsketten zu denken und zu schreiben. Da mag es überraschen, dass sein neues Buch "Der Fürst und seine Erben. Über große Männer im Zeitalter der gewöhnlichen Leute" eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem nüchternen, kühlen Klassiker Niccolò Machiavelli verspricht. Holger Heimann hat den Essay gelesen.Sebastian Haffner: Der Teufelspakt. Eine "Geschichte der deutsch-russischen Beziehungen" – das ist ein Titel, der einige Menschen triggern könnte, in jegliche Richtungen. Verfasst hat das Buch Sebastian Haffner. Nun mag man denken: Der lebte 1907 bis 1999, der Journalist und Historiker, was mag er uns über Russland und Deutschland Erhellendes erzählen, es ist ja so viel passiert inzwischen? Eine Frage an unseren Kritiker Matthias Schmidt.Maike Luhmann: Einsamkeit. Warum sie uns alle betrifft. Einsamkeit, nicht zu verwechseln mit Alleinsein, ist ein gesellschaftliches und individuelles Problem, das sich auch politisch auswirkt. In Deutschland gibt es das Kompetenznetz Einsamkeit der Bundesregierung, in Großbritannien gar ein Einsamkeitsministerium. Mehr dazu steht im Buch der Professorin Maike Luhmann, die dazu im Gespräch ist.

Learn Finnish by listening to the Finking Cap Podcast!Finland is said to be the happiest country in the world, however, we have people here who don't have enough money to cover the basics like food. I wanted to make an episode about how food banks in Oulu work. In this episode of the Finking Cap, I interview Katja Suhonen, the food aid expert and director of the "hub" where food donations are sorted and distributed to different locations. This hub is called Prikkakeskus, and their operating model has proven to be so successful that the city of Oulu has made it a permanent service, starting from 2026.After the interview, I point out a few Finnish words from our conversation and I explain them to you, in Finnish, of course.I have made the PDF transcript available for members of the Finking Cap Club: https://finkingcapclub.com/.The Finking Cap Club has lots of Finnish listening content, grammar courses and exercises, so if you're thinking of spending your summer learning Finnish independently, check it out.

In this episode of the Living in San Diego Podcast, Chris and Cass sit down with Jason Farnan, better known as Lieutenant Facemelter, the 2013 U.S. National Air Guitar Champion.Jason gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the wild world of competitive air guitar, from local San Diego competitions to the U.S. Nationals and the Air Guitar World Championships in Oulu, Finland. We talk about how routines are judged, what “airness” actually means, the costumes, the stage personas, and why this fringe art form is a lot more serious than people might think.We also get into Jason's story of moving from Rochester, New York to San Diego, how the documentary Air Guitar Nation pulled him into the scene, and what it has been like performing as Lieutenant Facemelter for more than a decade.Plus, Jason shares another side of his career as a professional graphic and UX designer, including the story behind creating a trumpet-themed logo for New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz that ended up being sold as official merchandise at Citi Field.And if you're in San Diego, there's an upcoming San Diego Air Guitar competition happening Saturday, May 30th at 7:00 PM at Booze Brothers Brewing Company in Vista.

Tällä historiallisella päivämäärällä Ruotsin kuningas Kaarle IX päätti, että Pohjois-Suomeen tarvitaan kaupunki ja niin syntyi Oulu. Aleksanteri I taas siirsi Suomen pääkaupungin Turusta Helsinkiin ja Tampereelle avattiin oma Stockmann. Myöhemmin taikuri David Copperfield hämmästytti maailmaa kadottamalla Vapaudenpatsaan suorassa tv-lähetyksessä ja Yhdysvalloissa nähtiin ensimmäinen jakso kulttisarjasta Twin Peaks.

If there has ever been a weirded contrast of topics, well, here you go. Talk about the new and improved ways of ordering your Kutte with Pandaemon of TJ Satanika and add a drunk conversation about a stranger (“Which Jugend stuff”) who repeatedly shat in a public pool in Oulu, Finland and made TJ Oulu come up with an incredible MVP, a “Most Valuable Patch”. Certainly not the first (and last) DUMP focused patch. Let´s keep´em dumping!

Kate Adie presents stories from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Latvia, South Korea and FinlandThe US-Israeli war with Iran saw a marked escalation this week with strikes on some of the world's biggest gas fields. Israel's attack on Iran's south Pars gas field triggered a swift response from Tehran, who launched strikes on the Ras Laffan terminal – the world's largest liquefied natural gas facility, and other gulf countries. The attacks caused oil and gas prices to spike. Frank Gardner has been in Riyadh and Doha.In Venezuela, billboards and banners of former President, Nicolas Maduro still line the roads of Caracas after he was seized in January by US forces. Washington has outlined a plan for Venezuela and eased sanctions but hasn't provided a timeframe for elections. And many young Venezuelans are sceptical that much will change, says Ione Wells.Next week the BBC's Russian Service marks its 80th anniversary. The service's editor Jenny Norton reflects on how the team have found ways to adapt after the clampdown on media freedoms and the invasion of Ukraine, and setting up a new base in Latvia.In South Korea, a new genre of movies is taking the entertainment world by storm: the “micro-drama.” They're carefully curated one- or two-minute-long shows with intense plotlines, made to be watched on your phone. Jake Kwon in Seoul went behind the scenes.The BBC's climate editor, Justin Rowlatt, isn't just interested in our warming world, he's also a keen cold-water swimmer. And he recently found himself competing in the Winter Swimming World Championships in Oulu, a town in northern Finland, about 100 miles south of the Arctic circle.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinators: Katie Morrison and Sophie Hill Editor: Richard Vadon

Viaggio nella città finlandese di Oulu, affacciata sul mar Baltico vicino al Circolo Polare Artico, che si prepara a vivere un anno eccezionale come capitale europea della cultura 2026 coniugando tradizione locale, creatività contemporanea, partecipazione pubblica e innovazione tecnologica.Un tempo nota come “la Silicon Valley del Nord” - perché negli anni ‘80 la Nokia vi installò il suo quartier generale trasformandola in un polo tecnologico di livello mondiale – una ventina d'anni fa la città ha vissuto una crisi industriale gravissima, ritrovandosi improvvisamente con migliaia di disoccupati e un'economia locale da reinventare. Ma proprio da quella frattura è nato un percorso di trasformazione virtuoso, con il passaggio da una monocultura industriale a un ecosistema più aperto, fatto di startup, creatività, tecnologia, cultura digitale e partecipazione civica. Il titolo di capitale europea della cultura 2026 rappresenta un riconoscimento simbolico e concreto: Oulu racconta come una città colpita dal declino di un colosso tecnologico abbia saputo ripensare la propria identità, trasformando una crisi industriale in un progetto di futuro. L'ampio programma di iniziative di quest'anno si propone, tra le altre cose, di valorizzare le tradizioni e la cultura dei sámi, il popolo indigeno che abita le regioni artiche.

Looking for a smarter way to travel and a richer way to live when you get back? We're launching Season Eight with A for Airbnb, sharing how a long road trip through Finland and Norway transformed from a checklist of sights into a string of homes. From a lakeside house with a wood-fired sauna in Puolanka to an RV in the Inari village, from the Arctic Circle at Rovaniemi to Norway's brooding fjords, we used Airbnbs to slow down, meet neighbors, and absorb the quiet routines that define Nordic life.Along the way we chased the northern lights near Levi, learned why Finnish apartments feel so peaceful, and discovered how to spot the small details that make a stay effortless: strong Wi‑Fi, laundry days, clear entry instructions, local tips, and respectful house norms. Historic Kittilä surprised us with an artist-host who kept stories alive along with salvaged wood and open-hearth cooking. Oulu and Turku balanced old-town charm with modern coffee culture and kid-friendly spaces. The big takeaway wasn't a single perfect property; it was how the right stay turns a map into a neighborhood and a night into a lesson you can use at home.We also flip the script and talk about hosting. Back in Waco, our 1916 fixer-upper doubles as an Airbnb where guest nights help fund restoration. We share our playbook for five-star experiences on both sides: how to filter and book smarter, how to be a great guest who communicates and respects the space, and how hosts can elevate comfort with small, thoughtful touches like printed Wi‑Fi, bedside charging, clear guides, and a warm welcome.

Dr. Anna Krzywoszynska is a social scientist at the University of Oulu in Finland who studies how farmers and scientists can collaborate to foster regenerative agriculture. An expert on soil knowledge and values, with experience farming organically in Italy, Dr. Krzywoszynska examines the knowledge systems shaping food production. Currently, she's investigating how to transform agricultural research to support local communities, including turning research stations into hubs for collaboration between farmers and scientists. Her projects aim to align scientific inquiry with local needs, promoting community-driven innovation and sustainable land use. In this episode, John and Anna discuss: How farmers see soil as a resource to manage, while scientists seek broad, universal insights. How academic and agri-business structures favor research on general trends over practical, local farming solutions. The community's role in regenerative agriculture, enabling farmers to learn and innovate together. Research stations as potential community hubs integrating local farmers needs into science. Regenerative agriculture's ability to restore hope and reconnect farmers with nature. Celebrating mistakes as essential for learning and growth in farming.
