AdriJona Podcast

Hola AdriJoners, What a sad sad few weeks it has been, hasn't it? But we are BACK in full swing, starting Season 2 of AdriJona Podcast with a topic that was inspired by a series of whatsapp voice messages that Jona sent to Adriana after the Christmas break was over. Why do we always have to hustle, she asked. Why is that what we produce the only thing that society values. Why can't we go back to the times where we were one with nature and just hung out, with no work stress, bad posture and zero free time for hobbies. All INCREDIBLY valid points, and thinking about them is just... pain. Adriana here says that she does not seem to suffer too much under the hustle culture, and the girlies discuss their different needs, different career and in general, you know, things and stuff. It's an improvised podcast, what else did you expect if not things and stuff <3 Anyway, we hope you don't spiral into an existential crisis, and also that a 4-day-workweek comes to our countries soon. Kind regards, AdriJona <3 Socials: @flyinginsects is Jona on ig @fundriana is Adriana on ig [email protected] for complaints or whatever 

HAPPY LAST DAY OF 2021 DEAR ADRIJONERS!! Here it is - the final episode of season 1 of AdriJona podcast. In this one, after looking through our Spotify Wrapped for the pod and nearly crying because of how much we love you for listening and supporting, we talk about our resolutions for the next year (this was prerecorded on the 13th of December so take this with a grain of salt - we most likely have come up with many more new ones by now), read yours, get very inspired by them, manifest loudly. We also announce that we will return with season 2, which will probably NOT be updated or different from season 1 in the slightest, in February. Anyway -  We had a good run and we hope you did too. Thank you for letting us into your lives, this is the biggest honour, like, ever. Happy New Year!! Talk to you in 2022. <3 HEAPS OF LOVE, AdriJona <3 @fundriana is Adriana on ig @flyinginsects is Jona on ig [email protected] is our email.

Hey our dearly beloved AdriJoners, After a little hiatus caused by truly stressful times, and three days later than originally supposed to purely because of Adriana's fault, the 20th episode of ze pod is here! In this one, we asked you guys about the fun stories of how you found out Santa wasn't real (one of the submissions SENT Adriana because of how long the person had managed to keep believing), and also about your worst and best gifts, which we sometimes could not distinguish between and they became just a n y  g i f t s. Even though it's later than on our regular Tuesday, it's kinda the perfect timing, because today is Christmas Eve anyway, and once your families become too annoying you can go into your room, put on your headphones and listen to us talk - in true angsty teenager fashion. And if mom asks why you're not coming down to talk to Auntie Carol about how university is going, just tell her "You wouldn't understand, mom." We love you so much, MERRY CHRISTMAS Yours FAITHFULLY, AdriJona Find us on our igs: @flyinginsects is Jona @fundriana is Adriana [email protected] is our email xx

Hola our epic loyal gang of AdriJoners, This fortnight (because the pod is biweekly, idk) brings with itself a very PrOfOuNd episode about loneliness. Not simple dry facts - it's more about understanding and changing the mindset behind feeling like you being lonely is a huge problem that needs to be tackled. Both of us (as most of you as well) have experienced loneliness - immigration, uni, other people, mental health, body image - all these are things that have in one way or another caused us to feel like we are the only person in the world, oh-so-terribly alone and misunderstood. But by continuously working on helping ourselves overcome these feelings, we have figured out some ways to not only act, but also think, in order to start productively (Adriana is a Capricorn, I mean, it HAS to be productive) dealing with the negativity that loneliness might bring into our daily lives. We hope you enjoy! AdriJona xx Wanna talk? We do too! @fundriana is Adriana on ig @flyinginsects is Jona on ig [email protected] is our email lol

Hola chicas (the last episode was 100% listened to by a female audience according to the stats we see, lmao where them boys at? Not here clearly.) One day Jona came to me and was like "hey girlie I think we should talk about virginity on the pod", and I said "sick elaborate pls" and Jona told me about how she grew up in a world where nobody really cared about when people Do The Deed for the first time, and how coming to Germany showed her for the first time that in this westernized culture of high sexual liberation there was a judgemental moment going on against young adult women who are virgin for whatever reason. Wasn't this a long sentence. Now I personally have somehow never really had a brush with this topic and with the judgements and with shamings, but I was definitely interested in hearing about my girl's experience. And I hope you are too! Love u xx AdriJona [email protected] @fundriana is Adriana on ig @flyinginsects is Jona on ig

Hey Jondrianers, How are ya xx WE ARE DOING FINE. In this one we open up a bit and share things that we never really share too much of online, but me, Adriana, I am going to do more of that on ig now that we have crossed this line lol. What to expect in this episode: Jona talks about her complicated relationship with her skin, Adriana with her weight, and some tips on making yourself and others feel more comfortable in the awful situation of body image issues are being exchanged. We really like this one, felt like a quite genuine sweet conversation and we hope that it resonates with you<3 Mit freundlichen Grüßen, AdriJona x Let us be friends: @fundriana is Adriana on ig @flyinginsects is Jona on ig [email protected] is our email lol

Hey AdriJonerz! We are BACK but one day late whops. Hope you forgive us, we are but simple humans stuck in this inevitable life. In this one we chat about how social media can be good and bad for body image. Pretty much. It's a very broad topic that we only barely touched on, and yet we sincerely hope u like. Until next time xx (it's Adriana writing this and I am AT WORK so I cannot think long about what I'm writing and so this is short) Love u, AdriJona<3 @fundriana is Adriana on ig @flyinginsects is Jona on ig [email protected] is our email xx

HIIIIIIIII We are bACK again with another epizodas (Lithuanian for episode. A little crashcourse to Adriana's language) on body image. Like the title says, we sat down and just talked about how our society plays a part in the whole body image thingie that is going on, ya kno:) we talk about how easily influenced by others people are, bash the patriarchy, wish for the loss of body fixation and the emerging of body neutrality, ponder if maybe caring about the bodies is impossible to get rid of. We also make a point that feminism demands equality, not higher rights for women, and fights for men too. FYI.  We sincerely hope y'all enjoy, and we will talk to each other again soon! (By we I mean Jona and Adriana, because let's face it, that's what this podcast be, you guys just listen, USELESS) Kind regards. AdriJona <3 @fundriana is Adriana on ig @flyinginsects is Jona on ig [email protected] is our email for Fragen and Anregungen

Hi Adrijoners <333 We are back at it again with another miniseries! This time we are choosing to talk a bit more about body image, because you can never be vocal enough about this issue. In this episode we are generally having a discussion on how we first started thinking about body image as a concept, what situations provoke these ponderings in general, and we also touch on the relevance of this topic. In the upcoming episodes you can look forward to us trying to analyze how society creates body trends, sharing our own experiences with body image issues/dysmorphia, as well as explore body positivity, how to practice it and if it can go too far. As you can see, there's a lot coming up, so stay tuned! As always, your reviews are welcome. Kind regards, AdriJona <3 Reach us: @flyinginsects is Jona on insta @fundriana is Adriana on insta [email protected] is our email address

Hey AdriJoners!! We are BACK with another episode that is NOT a miniseries. Finally something just random, amirite? People often are not very vocal about things they really like, because we tend to be judgy nasties a lot and can make others feel like their hobbies are stupid. They're not, as long as they don't harm anyone. And so we share some random stuff that we like, Adriana a bit more generic, Jona very cute (Adriana is typing this rn and she is Jona's number 1 fangirl). It's a chill episode, because we are about to dive into another miniseries that will be more serious, at least to us. Enjoy xx Yours truly, AdriJona Reach us on insta: @flyinginsects is Jona @fundriana is Adriana Email: [email protected]

Hola chickas! In today's episode, it's tea time, and watch out, because it's hot :* A while back we asked you about your worst online (or not) dates and breakups, and you must be UPS, because you DELIVERED. Some of them were disappointing, some disgusting, and some blatantly shocking? Listen and tell us which one was your favorite. And, if you have more in store, we are always down to listen xoxo Das wars schoma, AdriJona xx Talk to us>  Adriana is @fundriana on insta Jona is @flyinginsects on insta Our email is [email protected]

hola AdriJoners! We’re back again with another episode of the pod, and we are continuing our online dating&relationships miniseries. Both of us being epic researchers (Jona properly, Adriana temporarily), we dug out a couple of articles about people’s tendencies when using dating apps, so don’t take our word for it, take science's. Even though the articles are completely random and not reviews or meta analyses, Adriana literally picked the first two articles that google gave her, we still think some of the points they brought up were quite interesting to talk about! We really hope you enjoy this discussion of ours, and if you have any points of your own that you’d like to make, our dms and EMAIL are always open! Love yalls, AdriJona @fundriana is Adriana @flyinginsects is Jona [email protected] for insights and complaints xx the articles that we picked: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0243733 https://www.asanet.org/news-events/asa-news/love-me-tinder-love-me-sweet

HEY GIORLS (listen to get the reference) Jona and Adriana went on a holiday and lived to tell the tale! And who better to tell the tale to if not the faithful AdriJoners. There really isn't much to write about the tale, it tastes best if it is just told. In audio format. We had the most wonderful time in Corfu Island and can definitely recommend it as a nice holiday destination. Relaxation was going HARD my guy, and boy did we need that. That's it, that's the decription. We love you<3  AdriJona @flyinginsects is Jona on instagram @fundriana is Adriana on instagram [email protected] is our email for requests and complaints P.S. we do apologize for the apparent interruption of the online dating miniseries, but we felt this was a nice thing to chat about, and when you think about, it's not much of an interruption, as we DO talk about tinder adventures. Scratch that. It's not an interruption.

HIIIIIIIIIIIII Adriana almost forgot to upload this what a queen!!! We have decided to take it upon ourselves to discuss a topic we are most knowledgeable on, and that is online dating. We talk about our online dating experiences and share opinions literally every time we meet up, so we thought, why not do it publicly.  In this one we speak about online dating in general - we are ITCHING to make another mental health episode, but that's for later.  Meanwhile buckle up and listen to this, and (this will be spoken about somewhere in the episode) send us your best or worst first date, online dating or general dating or break up stories which we will then share later!! Anonymously or not!!! Love ya Yours respectfully, AdriJona @flyinginsects is Jona on insta @fundriana is Adriana on insta [email protected] is our email pls email us

HEY ADRIJONERS We are back again with another episode!! In this one we get tipsy and discuss why the heck experiencing strong love for your friends is never a centerpiece of any popular movie, show, song, etc - it's always the romantic love that seems to be the main point of most storylines, and we are nOT having it anymore. We also talk about what the word passion means to us, and Jona recommends a movie called Frances Ha. So go watch. The podcast episode we refer to: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5YDnkjzlOsGS76l5trN6lC?si=dae1231040754e84 The article we refer to: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/01/fashion/weddings/from-best-friends-to-platonic-spouses.html Would YOU marry your bestie? Let us know<3 mit freundlichen Grüßen, AdriJona [email protected] @flyinginsects is Jona @fundriana is Adriana

Hey AdriJoners xoxo In this episode we are finally wrapping up our Germany miniseries (not to say the topics will never come up again because I'm sure they will) by continuing to talk about the difficulties we had after willingly becoming immigrants. While we do not regret our choice to leave home and while studying abroad has given us a lot of good things, there are also aspects of it that are not so fun, and we just wanted to chat about that a bit more, because both of us have found that if you're being open with yourself and other people, it inspires others to be more open and accepting of their own issues as well. Let's break the stigma that everything always has to be sunshine and butterflies, one amateur podcast episode at a time <3 A couple of Germany-related links for seeking help. You can always also go to your GP and tell them you are going through stuff and get a referral to a therapist! Also, many universities have counselling where people are used to dealing with problems that stem from feeling out of place in a new environment, no matter if they're easier to deal with or more grave - these people can refer you to a specialist that will help out! And look out for some night hotlines that are often also anonymous and give you someone to talk to. https://www.deutsche-depressionshilfe.de/depression-infos-und-hilfe/wo-finde-ich-hilfe/krisendienste-und-beratungsstellen https://www.opencounseling.com/hotlines-de By the way - if you need a friend to listen to you, you can always dm us on instagram, we will gladly chat to take your mind off of things <3 @flyinginsects is Jona @fundriana is Adriana We love u xoxo -yours truly, AdriJona

Hi y'all! It wouldn't be a Germany miniseries for us if we didn't speak about what the HECK happened to us mentally when we moved. So we sat down, collected some bulletpoints that we found were the most significant in our JoUrNeYs - and we just spoke about that. In this episode we discussed the newly found independence, adult life responsibilities, loneliness and homesickness, while also touching on some positive aspects of these things at the end.  It's hard to say it all in just one episode though, we feel like each of these topics deserves its own bigger discussion, so maybe in the future. DISCLAIMER. We are kind of reluctant to post this because WE KNOW that our problems are not the largest and we are very privileged to be able to speak about these things (although the second part will have some harder topics for us, this is just the basics haha). However, even though they do not compare with what some people are going through, they still made an impact on our lives and it wasn't something we would overlook when observing our immigrant lives from where we currently stand. So ----- if you listen to this and think we're entitled - with peace and love, we're trying our hardest not to sound like that while still speaking about things that mattered and still matter to us.  Stay tuned for the second part and as always, we're excited to hear your feedback! Sorry this ep got a little long hehe, but do listen to it all because we love tho see the stats xoxo Yours truly respectfully lovingly, AdriJona Reach us on: [email protected] @fundriana is Adriana on Instagram @flyinginsects is Jona on Instagram Beat Provided By https://freebeats.io​ Produced By White Hot

Hi besties! This is episode 5 of our podcasterino and the second part of our miniseries about Germany!  This one's kinda chilled out, ya know. Just us talking and answering some of your questions. And seriously, SERIOUSLY building it up for the next couple ones where we will be discussing the impact that moving had on our mental health. Hope you enjoy hanging out with us<3  We love ya Sincerely, AdriJona

TL;DR, summary of this episode: making the decision to study abroad, why we picked Germany, our feelings upon arrival, do we regret it. Hi besties!  In this episode Adriana and Jona begin their miniseries about their lives in Germany as foreigners. In this instalment the conversation revolves around the WHY (top 10 questions science can't answer, honestly). Why and how did these two girlies end up in Heidelberg, Germany, despite coming from very different countries? How did it go at the start and are their minds filled with doubts or regrets? Maybe this episode will answer that, maybe not - I guess you'll have to wait and see. We wanted to make it good so badly that we ended up rerecording the whole episode two days before the ReLeAsE dAtE, and honestly, it was pretty darn worth it. We hope this reaches the target audience and we are always open to questions and remarks! You can dm us on instagram or write an email to [email protected] (if you're reading this please email us we want that excitement very badly) Hope you enjoy! xoxo AdriJona

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:  1. WE HAVE AN EMAIL! (us as your grandparents when they get their first computer and want to flex) [email protected] --- the main point is for YOU to SUBMIT YOUR STORIES. If you want to share a funny/sad/interesting thing, either anonymously or not, if you have any suggestions for the pod, any critique - email us there and we will share the stories, discuss the topics and take your criticism into account! <3 2. WE ARE FAMOUS NOW AND NEED A NAME FOR OUR FANBASE. Dm or email us or respond to the question sticker on our stories if you see this on the day of release and we might pick your name lmaooooo. ANYWAY. This episode is brought to you by International Women's Day and f e m i n i s m, except we don't give you education, we just give our conversation about the things that are happening, especially in relation to feeling safe as a woman. It's a bit more serious than what we would go for on another day, but it felt fitting this time, next episode will be more fun we promise (I think).

Yooo my guy! The 2nd episode is here and we are so excited for you to listen! We recorded this before publishing the 1st one, so there is no acknowledgment of your amazing support that we got in response to that, but that's coming in the 3rd one:))  In this episode we talk about Jona turning 26 (months, apparently), Adriana's special gift for her, then some profound discussions about getting older take place before switching to horror movie talk that almost sends Adriana into a panic attack. She afterwards shares her exciting dream and it all is followed by Jona's insane story about meeting an actual prince!!!! So staying tuned to the end is definitely worth it. Thank you so so much for following the podcast and listening, we screamed at every insta dm with feedback that we got, you were all so sweet! We can't wait to also start taking guests on the pod from time to time, so stay tuned for that!

Some weeks ago one short Whatsapp conversation ended in "okay we're definitely doing this" and so here we are. In this episode, Adriana and Jona introduce themselves and their idea for this podcast (kurzgesagt, they're geniuses and want to record their conversations), followed by some Valentine's Day ponderings from the perspective of single people, and then Adriana goes on a monologue about ghosting that is probably just herself trying to justify her toxic behaviour patterns. You live and you learn. Stay till the end to find out what Jona's favourite plant of the episode is and why. P.S. we hope to become famous and have many fans. We love u and hope you love us back <33333
