Lecturer PhD Andreea Cătană presents to Mihai Morar what wonders genetics can already do. 'Discoveries are happening even now, as we speak,' declares Andreea Cătană, who reveals how, in just 20 years, genetics has come an incredible way. From a science in its infancy, to curing diseases considered, until yesterday, incurable! And this is just the beginning. Where is too much, though? Where should ethics stand in the way of science to prevent us from...

One of the most important cardiologists – Gheorghe Cerin – presents to Mihai Morar the unexpected approach through which he heals people. Gheorghe Cerin is a primary care physician in Cardiology, doctor in medical sciences, member of the European Society of Cardiology. And yet, his area of interest in treating heart diseases is... nutrition. It may seem surprising, but studies and clinical practice have convinced him that heart diseases are generated by the completely wrong way we eat...

Mihai Morar and Cristian Presura take us through the world of those who change the world we live in through their inventions. Cristian Presura's name is linked for many to a gadget encountered everywhere today: the smartwatch that monitors our biological functions. A fantastic, extremely useful invention that has changed the way we can monitor our health. An achievement that, as its inventor reveals, was in danger of remaining in a drawer due to lack of vision...

Mihai Morar îl are ca invitat pe CEO-ul care nu și-a negociat niciodată salariul: Virgil Șoncuțean, omul aflat la al treilea mandat în fruntea Allianz Țiriac Asigurări România. Lumea asigurărilor este departe de a fi cunoscută și apreciată la justa valoare de către români. Posibil pentru că mulți o percep ca parte din obligațiile fiscale impuse de către stat. Însă întregul concept al asigurărilor depășește cu mult polițele obligatorii RCA sau PAD, de altfel soluții eficiente în gestionar...

Monica Ion presents to Mihai Morar her first novel: Power on Heels. Today's guest on Fain & Simplu is one of the top 50 world experts in reshaping the human brain and how it dictates our lives. A quality she obtained after a prolonged study, hundreds of cases transposed into thousands of hours spent with her patients. Experience that is also found in her first book: Power on Heels, a story inspired by real experiences...

In one of the darkest periods of the Roman Empire, when emperors barely manage to reign for two or three years, we have an exception that is talked about far too little (but not on the history podcast, of course, where we manage to have a short 3-hour discussion). Gallienus, the son of Valerianus, not only shares the reign with his father, but resists for another eight years at the head of the empire, totaling about 15 years.

Mihai Morar takes us back in time, to Romania in the '90s, alongside the one who framed the music scene of today: Radu Fornea. He was neighbors with a world-renowned doctor who changed his life. He hesitated between several possible brilliant careers - neurosurgery, robot production, journalism - but he chose the thing he didn't even think about as a teenager. Music! And he took it to another level. Because Radu Fornea is the one who has hits with over 100 different artists...

Mihai Morar takes you on a unique journey through the world of a unique artist: Irina Baianț. Entering the world of music at the age of 3, in front of the piano, Irina never left it, becoming one of the little musical geniuses that Romania has offered over time. Accustomed to awards from a young age, present on the famous Scala stage in Milan, Irina still chose a difficult path on stage. She decided to leave the country when she considered that the exchange proposed by the music industry against...

Mihai Morar has as guest the manager who achieved the greatest performance for Romanian football after 1989, Mihai Stoica. Meme Stoica's CV impresses from several perspectives. He is the man on whose business card was written both Steaua and FCSB. In both cases, as leader of the club. He achieved the greatest surprise of the championship, winning the title with the newly promoted Unirea Urziceni, with whom he achieved a series of extraordinary matches in the European cups. No...

Cum ne protejăm banii din conturi? Alin Becheanu și Mihai Morar ne ghidează prin complexitatea siguranței financiare. În anii '90, România era tărâmul oportunităților, dar și al fraudelor majore. Din cauza lipsei educației financiare, au apărut cazuri notorii de corupție, ca CARITAS. Astăzi, la 35 de ani de la Revoluție, românii sunt vulnerabili la fraude, mai ales online, din cauza lipsei educației financiare, dar și a...

Looking at Valerian's reign, after so many short and fragmented reigns, it might seem impressive. Enough time to do enough things, you'd say, and when we go into a bit of detail, and find that he divided the empire in two and has even less empire to defend.

The doctor who saves our children – Mihai Craiu – shows Mihai Morar what are the big mistakes made today by parents. There is no child-rearing manual. It is an old expression since the world began. Or is there? Well, the book launched by doctor Mihai Craiu - 'Your Child's Health Book' - can be considered a real manual for parents. Written by a doctor who has been caring for the future of the country for decades, no more no less. The children. Don't miss the opportunity to discover...

The doctor who saves our children – Mihai Craiu – shows Mihai Morar what the big mistakes made today by parents are. There is no child-rearing manual. It is an old expression since the world began. Or does it exist? Well, the book launched by doctor Miha Craiu - 'Your Child's Health Book' - can be considered a real manual for parents. Written by a doctor who for decades has been taking care of, neither more nor less, the future of the country. The children. Don't miss the opportunity to disc...

Mihai Morar presents a phenomenon: the most followed Romanian on TikTok, Andra Gogan. With over 10 million followers on TikTok and over 6 million on YouTube, Andra comes to the Fain & Simplu studio directly from the Book of Records. But what we find out today is much more than statistics; because Andra reveals to Mihai what lies behind her success, what she sacrificed for it, and how much more she is willing to follow this path. Having been in the spotlight since she was 5 years old, in its various forms, And...

The man aiming for 100 million euros this year - Dragoș Petrescu - reveals to Mihai Morar the key to his success! About Dragoș Petrescu we can say that he is a true avatar of hospitality, but also a living image of the Romanian Entrepreneur. The man who opened the phenomenon that conquered the capital, the La Mama restaurants, who developed the City Grill network and put back on the map the emblematic Pescăruș, Hanu’ Lui Manuc or Caru’ cu Bere is far from slowing down. A real promoter of...

With over three decades of experience in the press, Mihai Tatulici has witnessed the most important moments in Romania's recent history. He was in the middle of events, in the street, in the studio, live. He broadcast the 1989 Revolution in real time and lucidly followed Romania's difficult path after the fall of communism. He is the man who told Călin Georgescu, directly and without mincing words: "You will never be the president of Romania.". A remark ignored then by many, a prophe...

This is not a political speech. It is not a plea for a party or a politician. This is the manifesto of those who still believe in people. In Romania that doesn't blame, but lends a hand. We live in times when it is easy to shout and hate, but harder and harder to connect and love. In a world full of noise, Mihai Morar chooses to say what he believes. With honesty. About Romania. About elections. About voting, but not as a trivial "Sunday gesture," but as an act of profound responsibility. What al...

Pune-l la Dunăre să-l cunoști. Așa pare să fi fost în criză-n secolul III.

Un interviu neașteptat între Mihai Morar și Cornel Palade, un artist legendar al showbiz-ului românesc. Cornel Palade, sinonim cu comedia. Podcast surprinzător, neaxat pe comedie. Nu, sufletul lui Cornel Palade nu este trist, ci plin de...

Ionuț and Andreia Chiperi reveal to Mihai Morar how you can live your life always on the road and how much it costs to do that. Husband and wife, business partners, road partners. And not only metaphorically. Because the two have been away from home ... for 6 years already! Period in which they not only were all over the world, but also created and established as a landmark in online the travel vlog Haihui în 2, whose YouTube channel has gathered millions of views in this period! What is the reason however ...
