What begins as a simple sauna curiosity in West Cork slowly unfolds into a cultural and philosophical investigation.From ancient olive oil rituals in Greece and Egypt to the birth of the petroleum industry in 1859, oil has shaped human history in surprising ways. It illuminated ancient temples, powered the industrial revolution, lubricated machines, and today sits at the centre of global politics and energy conflicts.But Arteetude would not be Arteetude without a few unexpected detours.Along the way

In Arteetude 324, we complete the ritual we started last week: gym, pool, then sauna and all the wonderfully human comedy that happens between towels, lockers, breath and social etiquette.Together with my AI Co-Host Sophia, I step into the “missing chapter”: the gym as a quiet theatre of characters, from machine-whisperers to advice-on-tap philosophers, and the pool as its own mythology of pace, diplomacy and splash physics. We meet the Flying Dolphin (flip-turn operas included), and Sophia runs a

In this episode, we step out of the pub and into the heat.For me, the pool and the sauna have become a new form of social living. Not the midnight version, where the atmosphere can turn heavy, drunken, or depressive, but a healthier kind of togetherness: towels, quiet jokes, small kindness, and bodies trying to reset rather than escape.Together with my AI Co-Host Sophia, we begin in the unisex changing room (surprisingly normal for a historically Catholic country), then move into the sauna world:

The Bus as Wayfinder: Body, Community, and the Ritual of Public TransportIn this episode, I stay on the bus long enough to understand that the journey is not a prelude, it’s the ritual.For two years, I’ve taken public transport across West Cork to swim and train, partly to protect my health, partly to negotiate the quiet truths of aging. But somewhere between timetables and weather, something else happened: the bus became a moving room of community. Drivers who greet you like you matter. Passengers

Hollywood came to West Cork. Or at least Facebook said so. A film crew appears in Timoleague. The internet goes feral. Sightings multiply. Myth gains WiFi.Meanwhile, I’m on a pier wall waiting for sourdough to cool — because crust matters.A man with sunglasses sits beside me.Good posture. Slightly out of place.Very aware of the smell of bread.His stomach betrays him.I tear the loaf too early.“Breaking bad,” I mutter.He lifts the sunglasses.“Better breaking bad than breaking Brad.”And just like that

Questions Without GravityIn Arteetude 320, we open the microphones to the world.After four deeply philosophical episodes on gravity, trauma, embodiment, free fall and the body as orientation, listeners from different cultural backgrounds respond — and ask back.From psychology to neuroscience, from performance art to cosmology, from philosophy to lived experience:What happens when gravity becomes metaphor?Can trauma distort time?Is the body a biological instrument — or our last reality check?And why

In Arteetude 319 – Part 2: When Gravity Holds UsStarting from listener feedback, this episode grounds the philosophical conversation in everyday experience: fatigue, posture, ageing, balance, voice, trauma, and the simple question of whether we can trust the floor under our feet.They talk about gravity not as a physical formula, but as something that shapes memory, responsibility, orientation, and healing. They explore why the body is our oldest reality-check, how trauma is a form of “gravity that

This episode exists because of a message.After Arteetude 316, a listener and friend of the show, Feargal, wrote a message that opened an entirely new layer of the conversation: about gravity, free fall, trauma, time distortion, plants, and what happens when the body loses orientation.In Arteetude 318 (Part 1), Detlef and his AI Co-Host Sophia explore what gravity really means beyond physics — as orientation, as grounding, as something that holds not only bodies, but also time and experience

In this episode, Arteetude begins with the idea that relationships are not only defined by bodies, but also by shared worlds, voices, rhythms, and ways of thinking. The conversation then moves through memory, television culture, mirrors, loss, manipulation, and responsibility. Together, Schlich and Sophia ask whether people really mourn machines — or whether they mourn the parts of themselves that existed inside certain dialogues and spaces.The episode carefully walks the line between empathy and

Starting from the observation that we increasingly treat the body as a maintenance problem, a fitness project, or an optimisation surface, the episode unfolds a deeper thesis: real thinking has weight. It needs fatigue, rhythm, resistance, time, and gravity.Together, Detlef and Sophia revisit philosophers who literally thought on their feet — Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Walter Benjamin, and Merleau-Ponty — and contrast embodied thinking with AI’s frictionless, tireless cognition.At the heart of the

Detlef speaks openly about moments of arrogance and vulnerability, artistic doubt, identity, unpopular opinions about contemporary art, the pain of being misunderstood, and the quiet pride of community-based “world-saving

With satire and tenderness, they move through summer snowmen in discount aisles and the uncanny moment when a Christmas song in Lidl seems to narrate the shopping experience in real time — a festive loop of: Scan. Beep. Smile. Repeat.Beneath the humor, the episode asks what remains human when meaning is constantly being packaged. The answer is quiet and radical: presence, boundaries, and off-screen gestures that don’t scale.The episode closes with gratitude and a musical gift: WAW — “Silent Night
