I never listened to any podcasts and I don't believe I ever will. I heard the term before and had an idea what podcasts are. Obviously the presentations showed me some new things, but I still don't think I will look into the matter. I think mainly because I prefer to read about news and new things. I'm not a person that follows information daily, I'm more the kind of person that once in a while reads about all the things that happened since the last time I checked. Also I have long discussion nearly every evening with my parents, who are always well informed about the current events, to they are some sort of podcast for me :P. I do have a thing I am very passionate about, but I already made 3 presentations about that during this course so I think It's enough!

I haven't ever listen podcasts and there is no reason behind it. It is hard for me to listen something different than music and do something like working or learning, so I don't have many occasions to listen something like podcasts. I'm passionate about many things, about some of them I made presentations (decoupage, coca-cola). In most cases for me learning is having fun, because I've choosen college which are interesting to me.

I have listened some podcasts, most of them was about paranormal stuff which I was interested in some time ago. Right now, I don't really listen to them anymore and I think I would rather listen to recording.

I tried watching some podcasts a few years ago but not much came out of it. I watched a series about starting a consulting business which was nice because it dealt with more general problems. Problems like how to find quality customers. I couldn’t focus on anything else while listening though and other materials were the same. It wasn’t something I had to do so I eventually stopped.

Do you listen to podcasts? If you do - what are your favorite ones? If you don’t - is there a specific reason?
I never tried and I never will. Why? There is no reason. I am just not interested in podcasts. I heard about it some time ago but there is nothing special and interesting for me.

Are there any Internet shows you listen to / watch regularly that are not podcasts? Which ones? How are they distributed?
I watch TV sometimes and some TV series but not Internet ones. I don't really know any Internet show to listen...

I come out in this post as a hardcore podcasts junkie / podcast nerd. I don’t think I ever did talk about this to the extent before. Do you have things in your live that you are as passionate about? Movies? TV shows? Books? Music bands? Video games?
Answer is simple and I must extend this sentence to meet the requirements of 4 lines so the answer is: DOTA!! :D

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

By
Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and natura...

Week 9 [11.12 - 17.12.2017] Is Scientific Community Accepting of New Ideas?

By
We all want to believe that science is about pushing the boundaries of knowledge, breaking the status quo and persuading curious ideas, even if the majority of people find them unbelievable. But is it so? There are many cases of scientists who were disgraced and persecuted by the scientific community simply because their findings challenged the already existing beliefs. Humberto Maturana and Lynn Margulis Humberto Maturana is a prominent biologist who studied the examples of symbiosis between organisms: fungi that control the ants (there are farming ants that grow fungi for food) or the parasites that hijack the brains of snails. https://www.une.edu.au/__data/assets/image/0005/24791/leucochloridium-paradoxum.jpg Maturana wondered how is it possible that a symbiosis so complex as the one between a worm and a snail could ever take place? I t occurred it is actually a more general argument about the evolution. What comes first: the design or the applic...
