We Break the TunesThe Dark Wave - EmptinessEmptiness delivers a captivating blend of 80s gothic and 90s Britpop: a dark bass, screeching guitars, and frantic vocals, interspersed with catchy choruses and Beatlesque harmonies. Beneath the catchy sound lies an urgent message: a sharp critique of a world where money and social media have taken over and social cohesion is slowly disintegrating. Emptiness captures what it's like to live in a time when we spend more time looking at screens than at each other; confrontational yet danceable!

Normal Curves: Sexy Science, Serious StatisticsHPV Vaccine: How close are we to wiping out cervical cancer?Could a preteen vaccine wipe out a global cancer? In this episode, we examine the bold claim that cervical cancer could be eradicated in much of the world by the end of the century—thanks to the highly effective HPV vaccine. We unpack statistical modeling, microsimulations, and how Markov chains make good date-night conversation. We also explore why vaccine uptake has been uneven, how a splash of vinegar is helping screen for cancer in low-resource countries, and why HPV isn’t just a women’s issue—it now causes more cancer in men than in women. Plus: dangerously tight corsets...

We Break the TunesSpiny Norman - Veil of the MoonA cosmic love story, told in reverb and rhythm. A fever dream of sun-drenched guitars and cosmic longing, Veil of the Moon is a sonic mirage where surf rock tides crash into psychedelic horizons. With echoes of Khruangbin’s hypnotic grooves, Babe Rainbow's kaleidoscopic shimmer, and Manu Chao’s restless wanderlust, Spiny Norman weaves a tale of celestial romance—the eternal chase between the sun and the moon, meeting only in the fleeting embrace of an eclipse. Beneath its shimmering surface, cryptic voices emerge—samples whispering of a fractured timeline, a lost Apollo 11, a history that never was. The song drifts...

Beter | BNRVia de tandarts kun je naar je hele lichaam kijkenJe mond is een spiegel voor je gezondheid. Een tandarts kan in je mond zien of je bepaalde ziektes onder de leden hebt. En dus moeten we die mondzorg veel serieuzer nemen, vinden de experts. Nina van den Dungen spreekt in deze aflevering met Albert Feilzer, voorzitter van het Ivoren Kruis. Hij vindt dat de tandarts weer in de basisverzekering zou moeten. Want als steeds meer mensen de halfjaarlijkse controle overslaan omdat ze het te duur vinden, zorgt dat uiteindelijk alleen maar voor meer kosten. Bovendien kan die tandarts dus al veel eerder ziektes opsporen, zeker als...

We Break the TunesFRA! - Dandan Woho (Featuring Yung Pabi & Nyamekye)“Dandan woho” basically means “twirl.” It is our upcoming single, and it speaks to the
insecurities that many women face. We want every woman to know that she is bold, beautiful, and worthy—just as she is. Society may set unrealistic standards, but true beauty lies in confidence, self-love, and embracing one’s uniqueness. Women should celebrate themselves, their strength, and their individuality because there is no one else like them. You are powerful, you are enough, and you deserve to shine.
