Puzzled about this poll. What do you make of it? If you can’t arrive at a #plasticstreaty, teach people not to litter? Or research for next policies on EU level?

Update: I think it‘s the RSS the AI is drilling through. So I just disconnected the older episodes 2018-2024 from the feed, but they are now again public on the website and soundcloud. Let’s see what happens next 🤓

That’s why for now, I’m taking the episodes I made 2018-2024 offline. The 2025 episodes are still available for a bit. If you’d like to listen to the archive, please make a donation, write me an email including which of the episodes you’d like to listen to (or all), and I’ll make them available to you as soon as I can.
Many thanks for your understanding,
Anja

This podcast has been a passion project all along, and I am investing my free time and own funds into hand-making it. It’s made by a human being for other human beings, for you – and I do not want the research I’ve taken so much time to dig up, research and carefully compile to just be remixed and used freely by machines.

This month, December 2025, an unusual pattern emerged in the podcast statistics: Plays shot up by over 700%, with most of these downloads coming from just two locations: Parker and Denver, Colorado – an area with big data centers. The download pattern displays an unusual regularity in the numbers, and the only reasonable explanation I can find is that AI has started training on my podcast episodes and everything within it: Voices, stories, knowledge, research, music.
