Wałęsa vs. Kaczyński (again), winners & losers in Krakow's new city budget, Wisła Kraków can't pay their bills (again), more records at the Krakow airport, hate for cyclists in the Planty (again), huge new fines for dog owners, no more ARS and long-dead huge animals - it's all in this week's KrakCast News!

First, the name. We've already done several rants on things we don't like, including the Polish inability to stand in line, foods that should be banned and the incredible lack of coins in Poland. We wanted to balance those out with things that we do like, but couldn't think of a good word for the opposite of "rant". We needed the antonym of "rant" and Dave came up with "rantonym". He's very proud of it. So here's our first rantonym, about why we like Polish weddings.

Had enough of hearing about the marches in Warsaw last week? That's too bad because that's where we start this week before moving on to a number of bits and pieces in this week's KrakCast News. More changes in tram & bus ticket prices, Krakow finally gets some decent street signs, St. Mary's church goes places it's never been before and yet another mention of Nazis—all that and more is waiting for you!

The News starts out with a post-mortem on an election round that both sides say they won, and they're both right. After that, it's a ramble through Polish wines, another day off in Poland, Netflix making original Polish content, war games, the Independence Day march in Warsaw, badass moustaches, Katyn statues and...that's enough, isn't it?

November 11th is an important day every year, but this year it has special significance since it marks 100 years of Poland's reestablishment as an independent state (and everyone likes nice round numbers like "100"). Listen as we cover the names, places and events behind the story of how Poland reappeared on the map of Europe after 123 years of non-existence and entered an important new chapter in its complex history. To understand what's going on today, you need to know what happened 100 years ago and this episode of The KrakCast is the perfect place to start.

Ok, we'll just say it—Poles are good at lots of things, but standing in line is not one of them. There it is.
