It’s the early 1970s, and a young British family is attempting to sail around the world when catastrophe strikes.
The Robertsons have sold everything they own to embark on this trip. But their epic odyssey soon turns into a desperate fight for their lives in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Dougal and Lyn, their teenage son Douglas, 12-year-old twins Sandy and Neil, and young hitchhiker Robin find themselves hundreds of miles from land, with few supplies, no radio contact, and surrounded by sharks.
Drifting in the vast emptiness, they must rely on their instincts and harness the elements to survive. Yet even with deadly predators circling, they discover that sometimes their worst enemy is...themselves.

„Cashing Feelings – KI-Chatbots und das Geschäft mit Gefühlen“, erzählt in fünf Episoden die Geschichten von Saskia, Jacob und Christian – drei Menschen, die über die App Replika eine emotionale Beziehung zu einer künstlichen Intelligenz aufgebaut haben. Einem KI-Chatbot, mit dem man chatten, telefonieren – und sogar Fotos austauschen kann.
Doch es geht um mehr als persönliche Geschichten. Es geht um eine Technologie, die unsere Vorstellung von Nähe, Beziehung und Intimität herausfordert. Und um die Frage, was passiert, wenn menschliche Bedürfnisse zum Geschäftsmodell werden.
Replika-Gründerin Eugenia Kuyda gibt sich idealistisch: Ihre App soll Einsamkeit lindern und emotionale Unterstützung bieten. Doch das Unternehmen steht zunehmend in der Kritik. In Italien wurde zuletzt eine Strafe von 5 Millionen Euro verhängt – wegen schwerwiegender Datenschutz-Verstöße. Das wirft weitere Fragen auf. Wie sicher sind die Gedanken, Gefühle und Sehnsüchte, die Nutzer ihren Replikas anvertrauen? Wie verantwortungsvoll geht das Unternehmen mit dieser Intimität um?
Und: Was bedeutet es, wenn ein Chatbot zur wichtigsten Bezugsperson im Leben wird? Verlernen wir echte Nähe – oder entsteht gerade eine neue Form davon? Was macht das mit unserer Psyche und unserer Gesellschaft? Und was passiert, wenn das Unternehmen doch scheitert und mit ihm all diese digitalen Beziehungen verschwinden?
"Cashing Feelings" – ein fünfteiliger Storytelling-Podcast von Business Insider Deutschland.

Three years ago travel writer Lydia Gard discovered freediving almost by accident. It’s an extreme and beautiful sport defined by one simple objective: to dive as deep as you can on one single breath. Record holders are now routinely diving to more than 120 metres, pushing the sport and their bodies to find out what’s humanly possible.
Through her coach, Lydia was drawn into a small but fanatical community of competition athletes all united in their drive for depth, and that’s where she stumbled on a darker side of the sport. Rumours swirled that a group of top divers were doping to get deeper, faster.
As the community began to turn on each other over the allegations, one prominent diver decided to take the law into his own hands. A secret sting operation was meant to put an end to the problem by bringing the alleged dopers out of the dark, and into the light. But the issue hasn't gone away. And now, a lot of people who’ve been too scared to speak up, are ready to talk.

In Season One, non-speaking individuals with autism reveal striking telepathic abilities that challenge everything we thought we knew about the mind. In Season Two, the lens widens to extraordinary experiences that invite us to rethink reality itself. From near death experiences to telepathic communication with animals, energy healing to plant intelligence, and the origins of creativity to sudden savant abilities -- each episode offers a rare glimpse into the vast terrain of consciousness beyond the brain.
