Messy conversations about love (in all its forms), entanglements, and pop culture with cultural analyst and communicator Estela Ortiz and psychologist and sexologist Beti Badia.

In this episode, we delve into romantic relationships with artificial intelligences: starting with the case of Astrid, an AI that has become a man's partner, we ask ourselves if we can fall in love with a machine and what that says about our emotional needs. We also revisit the reflections of couples therapist Esther Perel on the limits of these relationships. In addition, we travel back in time through an old sexuality manual to talk about the persecution of sodomy, myths about homosexuality, and the G-spot. And we end by recommending Come as You Are, by sexologist Emily Nagoski, to better understand desire and sexuality.

Every first Friday of the month, listen to a new episode on all platforms: Ara.cat, Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcast.
