The WePod Podcast

In this episode, host Javi Caminero tries to find out what the relationship between podcasts and mainstream radio is like in some of the countries with the biggest podcast markets in Europe. To do this, he talks to Bertrand Spinelli, Director of Skyrock Public in France; Andrea de Cesco, Director of Chora Academy at Chora Media in Italy; and Ana Alonso, head of SER Podcast in Spain. 

Podcasts can be very useful when it comes to analyzing a society. That’s why we’d like to dedicate some episodes of Sounds Like Europe to dive into the insights of podcasting in different countries of Europe. In this episode, Javi Caminero is joined by Márton Bede, Hungarian journalist and podcaster from 444, our Hungarian partner in the WePod project. 

It’s been now more than four months since we began this adventure. Many of our cross-border productions are already underway and we are lucky enough to see them unfold and grow. Our colleagues of the University Roma Tre are playing a crucial role documenting everything related with the WePod Project and the process of every coproduction. In this episode, Javi Caminero is joined by Marta Perrotta, professor and investigator at he University Roma Tre.  

Even though our professional and personal goals keep us busy, it seems as there’s always room for more. We usually feel the need to be well-informed, for example. That’s why listening to a format like daily news podcasts can be helpful. In this episode, Javi Caminero is joined by Ana Fuentes, host of Hoy En El País, Spain’s biggest daily news podcast, to analyze the importance of this genre.

Finding a new podcast to listen can be a challenging task. To discuss which are the best ways to discover new podcasts, Javi Caminero is joined by Andrea de Cesco, Director of Chora Academy at Chora Media, our italian partner in the WePod project, and founder of ‘Questioni d’orecchio’, the first italian newsletter dedicated to podcasts. 

Podcasts can be a very useful tool to learn new things. They can also be funny, engaging, or exciting. Podcasts can talk to kids about things they know or introduce them to a wide range of unimaginable topics. To understand how a good podcast can impact a kid’s mind, Javi Caminero talks to Dan Simpson, host of one of the UK’s biggest kids and family podcasts: ‘Fun Kids Science Weekly’. 

Im Laufe der Jahrzehnte hat die technologische Revolution die Art und Weise, wie die Menschen ihr Leben führen, verändert. Mit der Entwicklung der Technologie und der Einführung von künstlicher Intelligenz in verschiedenen Bereichen haben die Menschen Angst, dass ihre Arbeitsplätze durch Technologie ersetzt werden. Bestimmte Fähigkeiten wie kritisches Denken, zwischenmenschliche Fähigkeiten und Einfühlungsvermögen sind für die KI jedoch unerreichbar. 
 

Avec le développement de la technologie et la mise en œuvre de l'intelligence artificielle dans différents secteurs, certains d'entre nous craignent que leur emploi ne soit remplacé par la technologie. Est-ce le cas ? Peut-être. Mais certaines compétences, comme la pensée critique, les compétences interpersonnelles et l'empathie, sont hors de portée de l'IA.
 

Con el desarrollo de la tecnología y la adopción de la inteligencia artificial en distintos sectores de la sociedad,  algunas personas temen que la IA pueda quitarles el trabajo. ¿Esto podría suceder? Quizá. Pero algunas habilidades, como el pensamiento crítico, las habilidades interpersonales y la empatía están fuera del alcance de la Inteligencia Artificial.

Na przestrzeni lat rewolucja technologiczna zmieniła sposób, w jaki ludzie żyją. I teraz wraz z rozwojem technologii i wdrażaniem sztucznej inteligencji ludzie obawiają się, że ich praca zostanie zastąpiona przez technologię. Jednak pewne umiejętności, takie jak krytyczne myślenie, umiejętności interpersonalne i empatia, są wciąż poza zasięgiem AI. 

With the development in technology and implementation of Artificial Intelligence all over different sectors, some of us are left with the fear that our jobs will be replaced by technology. Is that the case? Maybe. But certain skills like critical thinking, interpersonal skills and empathy, are out of AI’s reach.
 

Nel corso dei decenni, la rivoluzione tecnologica ha cambiato il modo in cui le persone vivono la loro vita. Con lo sviluppo della tecnologia e l'implementazione dell'intelligenza artificiale in diversi settori, gli esseri umani temono che il loro lavoro venga sostituito dalla tecnologia. Tuttavia, alcune competenze come il pensiero critico, le capacità interpersonali e l'empatia sono fuori dalla portata dell'intelligenza artificiale.
