Maria Montessori on “the sorry spectacle of the teacher who...must pour certain cut & dried facts into the heads of the scholars...[and so] finds it necessary to discipline her pupils into immobility & to force their attention. Prizes & punishments are ever-ready & efficient aids to the master who must force into a given attitude of mind and body those who are condemned to be his listeners.”
Bingo. A traditional fact-based curriculum necessitates traditional bribe-&-threat classroom management.

Thanks to a tip from @neurovagrant, I have cancelled my audible subscription and I have created an account with libro.fm.
As I listen to audiobooks alsmost exclusively in English, any Dutch services do not cover my audio/listening needs and wishes.
To check if libro.fm was a good fit for me, I compared my wishlist at audible (currently at about 30 titles) with the libro.fm catalogue: apart from 1 title it was a complete fit.
Next up: copying over my wishlist from one to the other, check out the specific membership options (probably going for a 2 credit/month version again) and get ready to listen.
Biggest perk: you can Download Your Purchased Audio Books!
Second biggest perk: supporting an independent bookstore, unfortunately only in the USA at the moment.

Why are radios so generic? I mean why do they always have to play songs that already everyone knows about?
Their strength in times of the internet and algorithms is to get people out of their bubbles and present them good music from more unknown bands. Especially because algorithms support bubbles, radios could be a movement against them. They could support small artists and make it easier for them to get big.
Do #radio stations like this exist? And if not, am I missing something?
