IT CAME FROM THE 80S
2 xennial best friends reminisce about the greatest decade in their lives, the 1980s. Join Jay and Tony as they jump back in their Delorean to travel back to a much simpler time in their lives. In each episode, Jay and Tony will “Choose Your Adventure” on a 1980s topic that had a large influence on their early lives and still has a lasting impact today; nearly forty years later. Journey back to initial “Virgin Stories” as the two friends share stories of their favorite toys, movies, and tv shows. Plus, they add a 21st century twist…”would our children be interested if the topic of the week came out today?!”

FORCED TO FLEE
Persecution. Violence. War… Forced To Flee, the new podcast from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, tells the extraordinary stories of people who lived through some of the most tumultuous events of the past 70 years. The story of the mother who fled Vietnam by sea and fell into the hands of pirates, and of the orphaned schoolboy who found his calling thanks to a disposable camera. The story of the Venezuelan musicians who found hope with a new orchestra, and of the daughter of refugees who joined the rescue effort during Rwanda’s genocide. And stories of the many humanitarian workers who for seven decades have endeavoured to protect the forcibly displaced. Over seven episodes, we revisit some of the major emergencies of the post-war that have forced millions of people to leave their homes in search of safety and peace.We discover why they fled, what they endured, and what happened next. And as UNHCR and the 1951 Refugee Convention both mark their 70th year, we also look to the future and ask how the world must respond to record levels of forced human displacement.

ALDRIG MEHR PODDEN
Rivningarna av Stockholm och andra stadskärnor under efterkrigstiden är ett ämne som aldrig slutar att uppröra och fascinera. I Aldrig Mehr podden samtalar Rikard Gustavsson och Eric Palmcrantz om försvunna platser och rivna byggnader med människor som på ett eller annat sätt försöker förklara hur det kunde ske och varför eller varför inte det ”aldrig mehr” borde hända igen. För det kan det väl inte göra? Producerat av Figaro Music & Media Group.
