We’re back with a video podcast where we discuss Jens Spahn’s resignation and the golden handshake Mayor Kai Wegner will be getting when he leaves office. Plus other Berlin news of the week!

We cover the biggest news of the past week including an AI book grab, a couple recruiting drug mules, the CDU still hating bike paths, the latest Berlin political poll, and Merz’ plan to curtail sick days.

We chat about the news, including a swimming hole near Halle where you have to speak German well to get in. We also have opinions about Friedrichshain.

We’ve decided to start talking a little about national news as well as Berlin happenings. So we did.

Huge shout out to Oliver, Carl, Walter, Denzel and Izzy (from Radio Spätkauf) for their contributions to the live recording. Maurice likes some neighborhood Italian in Neukölln and I like Kino Central. Here’s to the next 495 issues! Picture is thanks Zuhause am Tempelhofer Feld

We spend too much time complaining about things we hate in Berlin like cars and smokers but ultimately praise the place because it’s becoming more international. Bears’ knees: Monster Ronson and the Gardens of the World

Maurice and I talk about Berlin’s crime family getting revenge on prison officials, an out-of-hand graduation party, the pharmacy strike and Berlin’s cocaine usage. Our bi-weekly podcast! Now in video!

This should be a summary of the pod but I just can’t be bothered and you should just listen to it. I just screen capped the pic off Cem’s website. I hope it’s OK.
