Humour all over the world has its own varieties and peculiarities. The podcast by Noel, Karen and Lisa introduces you to the basic principles of Eastern European humour.
Why are bad movies funny?
Do you ever find yourself watching a really bad movie and laughing about it? We know that feeling all too well and that is why we decided to investigate what makes bad movies funny. In order to find a possible answer to this question we watched an unquestionable classic of the genre, “The Room” by Tommy Wiseau.
Give our podcast a listen and maybe you will find yourself willing to watch the movie…
but you are doing it on your own responsibility so don’t be mad at us if you go crazy in the process :)
Humor in relationships
“Inside relationships” is the podcast to help you with your relationships. Each week we invite people to deal with certain themes that we can meet inside a relationship and invite them to share their point of views and personal experiences. The theme of today is “humor” and for this episode we are with Philippa, Joshua and Florence. Good listening!
Humor as a Coping Mechanism
Failed an exam? It is what is it. Did not get the job? It is what it is. Anxiety and Depression? It is what it is. Self-depricating jokes? Hell yes! Why the stress and tears if you can just laugh about it, right? Right..?

The effects of humor on the human body and mental health
This giggly feeling you have when you are laughing, the slight stomach pain after laughing your ass off – have you ever wondered what laughing does to you and your body?
In our podcast we will dive into the positive effect laughing has on your health and psyche. Thanks for listening!
What‘s funny anyway? – Memes
Memes are one of the biggest pop-cultural phenomenon we have right now. But what even are they? What is their history? How are they made? And what role do they play in our society and especially in the young generation? These questions will I, Mila, discuss with my fellow students and friends Aziza, Isabel and Simon.
I‘m looking forward to your feedback and your thoughts on the matter, so please get in touch!
