Over half of the Danish population uses at least three social media platforms, but many have said goodbye to X and TikTok over the past two years.

Henrik Føhns recommends: 3 podcasts for your summer holidays
Henrik Føhns is the host of IDA’s weekly tech podcast Techtopia (In Danish). He is a major consumer of podcasts, whether about technology, music, social issues or politics. Here are 3 podcasts he looks forward to listening to during the summer holidays.
The 404 Media
The podcast is part of an independent media outlet that delves into complex tech corners with critical journalism and sharp reporting. They focus on topics like hacking, surveillance, censorship, tech worker culture, and digital rights.
The Vergecast
Here you'll find the most important tech news of the week with clarity and sharpness. The hosts focus on how technology shapes our everyday lives and future. A great place to stay updated for all tech enthusiasts.
The Economist
It's actually a classic magazine on paper. British journalism of the highest class, which now also has various podcasts about politics, economics, science and technology. The Economist has been Henrik's only consistent medium for the last 35 years. Simply the place where you become just a little smarter than everyone else.
The hard drive
One should never get in the way of shameless self-promotion, says Henrik Føhns. After being hidden and forgotten on a hard drive somewhere in the catacombs of DR Byen, the Harddisk's archive surfaced via the Royal Library here in 2025. Not all episodes from the program's 23-year lifespan, but enough for a summer's listening.
The hard drive was P1's technology program from 1994 to 2017. We engaged in future archaeology, and the archive tells you stories about the future that is now past or present - and in some cases still future.

DR Montage
Classic radio reports from the analog age, where you cut real tapes and had months to research, record and re-cut. If you're going to start somewhere with the good radio craft, listen to the incomparably skilled and hardworking Peter Kristiansen's "Elite from the Minefield" with technology by Per Åkjær. Two colleagues with whom it was always a pleasure to drink coffee in the Radio House canteen.
