Two Brits in Vienna on all the most important Austrian news of the week or at least all the bits we found interesting enough to talk about.

Headlines this week:

  • Strache prepares to throw his toys out of the pram

Continuing our coverage of HC Strache's kerfuffle-laden bid for power in the upcoming Viennese elections, we discuss Team Strache's contingency plan for if (when) the election doesn't go their way. 

  • Keeping abreast of the uplifting news

We learn all about the public money going to a certain private clinic, the details of which the former regime were hoping to keep very close to their chests. 

  •  Raving mad? 

As clubs across the nation remain in fear of their survival, we discuss the Save the Rave demo in Vienna, the Salzburg festival and an obscure British political movement of the late 90s.

BONUS: Football Fever

We're joined by the Great Tom Middler from Austria's first, best and only English language football podcast The Other Bundesliga  to hear how corona is affecting the Austrian game.

  • Setting some boundaries

In this week's integration question Sam tries to decide just how many countries Austria used to own. He attempts to over-complicate matters, as usual.
