FOR REAL is a podcast on human dignity, made by Resonate Productions.In this episode: humanity - someone being in love with you at work - being ignored as a junior at work - asking questions.Recorded on the 23d of November 2025, at BAM Brooklyn, Next Wave Festival, New York City.(01:20) Zack Glassman [°1993 - Suffolk, New York]: "You are bringing music to humanity here. In this world today, I wonder: do I have to prove my humanity? Nobody needs to prove their humanity. I wish we can all experience this moment for what it is, this afternoon. Because we are all here together. "(06:04) Helena de Groot [°1983 - Belgium]: "I have been in love with you from the moment I saw you. And actually, it is because of me that you got hired... I thought I had been hired for me."(11:30) Keileigh [°2001 - Tennessee]: "What is the best way to phrase this... I am younger in the creative field. I look up to my elders in arts administration, I admire them, I want to be like them. But then, they don't even say 'hi' to you when you are ushering."(15:37) Preeti [°1973 - India]: "My mother didn't get to have a career. But she has one now, in art. Her medium is what comes from domestic work, which she was made to do when she was young. I also took her for granted as a servant. She had so much more to say, that I was missing. It didn't end there."(21:04) What do you deserve? A powerful life - to take up space - dignity - to be able to do it all."All comments were spot on. That's what we deserve."For each episode of FOR REAL, we get together with a group of people in a theater, to look into what it means to matter as a person.
