UNMOTIVE SHOW
Unmotive is the process that searches for answers. Like skipping rocks we skim the surface of a topic to open a dialogue. We are here inspire and support our listeners through insightful dialogue. Join host Rotimi Ajayi-Dopemu on this explorative journey. This is a seasonal released podcast with each season on a different overall topic. The first season is set to explore technology and related subject from the inside out through interviews and discussions with technology professionals.
STORY ORTI'S PODCAST
Ich mache Geschichten. Ich erzähle sie gerne und freue mich über jene, die Gefallen daran gefunden haben sie zu vernehmen. Sie sollen fantastisch sein und einladen, wieder mehr in der Welt zu sehen, sowie sich mehr in Ihr vorzustellen. Manchmal mit ein paar schwarz-humoristischen Einlagen , jedoch immer immer mit einem schönen Ende. Oder auch nicht. (Schimpfwörter manchmal enthalten)
EVERYTHING THEY KNOW
What happens to society when human beings are reduced to data points? What happens when our behavior, our movements, our relationships, and our obsessions are all tracked with near perfect precision? What happens when that information is indexed for the purpose of selling us products and influencing our political viewpoints all under the guise of “building community” and “making information free.” Well, look around. That’s the world you live in. Tech monopolies have built trillions of dollars of wealth watching and recording everything that you do in a day, building a database of YOU that’s so nuanced they can predict everything you’ll do next. Join Ari Andersen, a curious generalist, as he talks to data scientists, Internet pioneers, government officials, and various other people who understand what the heck is happening. If anything is going to change, first we have to understand what’s going on.
YOU KNOW THE PLACE
Every day, you drive by hundreds of businesses you've never stopped at, shopped at or (sometimes) even noticed. That's where we come in. From crematories to coffee buses, bee farms to bodegas, shooting ranges to scuba lessons, You Know The Place explores the Idaho stores, shops, clubs, and pubs you always pass by, but never seem to visit.
