Upside Under: Recent Episodes
Michal Ostrý
I'm undergrad student, engaged in war with study motivation. This podcast is my latest attempt to grab the upper hand and defeat procrastination. The idea goes like this: Whenever I encounter ideas, people, facts & skills I want to know more about, I'll do an episode about them. I'll try to explore all that is under their upsides and hopefully learn something new along the way.
Wish me luck.
Pubs, cafes, hairdressers.... Everything stayed open here in Sweden. At the time my country (Czechia) decided no more than 3 people can meet (outside of family), Sweden recommended suspending meetings bigger than 50 people.
Why is Sweden not under quarantine? And does it have something in common with immigration and overall with the Swedish culture?
/Part 2 of talking with Majken
In this episode: Sweden and social distancing, immigration and English language

After three months in Sweden, it's time to ask someone for help to explain all the Swedish things. Together with Majken, we discuss what is it like to study here, how Swedish mentality copes with university group projects, especially when I'm not delivering the pages I'm supposed to write. Sorry for that.
In this episode: Sweden and education, Swedish mentality, Evaluating Brand Management group project and everything around it

Are you also so fascinated by all the processes, normally undercover, suddenly exposed by the whole mess around (Coronavirus)? Impact of media, errors in our decision making, heuristics, why people buy toilet paper... Are we behaving rationally?
In this episode: introducing Upside Under project and sharing my fascination with you.
