    What if the solution to a deadly disease... was more mosquitoes? Welcome to Colombia, where scientists are turning the tables on dengue fever by breeding and releasing special mozzies with a mission. In this episode, we buzz into the world of high-tech mosquito matchmaking, discover how bacteria are making bugs less deadly, and ask the big question: can these tiny winged warriors really save lives?

    Sun, Sand, and Scandinavian Angst
    Jun 17 2025
    Pack your bags and prepare for a detour—this week on The Fascination Station, we're getting wonderfully lost in La Palma, the sun-soaked Norwegian film that fakes a vacation but delivers an emotional layover. Join us as we unpack the impulsive getaway of Kristina and Harald, a couple whose spontaneous trip to the Canary Islands turns into an unexpected odyssey of mistaken identity, existential musings, and maybe a bit too much Sangria. We talk about the film’s disarming blend of indie whimsy and Nordic melancholy, the bizarre beauty of finding yourself by pretending to be someone else, and why this low-budget gem deserves a stamp in your cinematic passport. Is it a comedy? A drama? A travelogue for emotionally stranded millennials? Tune in to find out.
