Frohe Weihnachten!

Benni und Max haben zufällig die Weihnachtsmänner und -frauen von Santa Claus on Road e.V. getroffen und wurden sofort von ihrer Herzlichkeit inspiriert. Die Damen und Herren fahren geschmückt mit Weihnachtsbäumen und Lichterketten durch die Stadt und verteilen Geschenke an Bedürftige. Klasse Aktion!

Diesen Weihnachtsspirit haben Benni und Max gleich zum Anlass genommen und treffen sich heute mal an einem speziellen Ort zum Rekapitulieren der bisherigen Episoden.

Dabei sprechen sie über ihre Lieblingsinterviews, Lieblingsorte, wo sie unbedingt noch hinwollen und warum der Podcast bald von Soundcloud zu Podigee umzieht.

Viel Spass und frohe Feiertage (und auch schon mal einen guten Rutsch) wünschen Euch

Benni und Max (und das kleine Pony)
