September 17, 2018 KrakCast News - Are you SURE you don't want a metro? Also, minimum wage increases, even more airports and a BOOZE BAN!!!
Like Elvis, we can never be sure if the issue of building a metro in Krakow is truly dead. The subject is back in the news this week along with discussions of a rise in the national minimum wage, a new airport that costs more than buying everyone their own private plane and - OH MY GOD!!! - an upcoming ban on alcohol sales in Krakow.

September 13, 2018 KrakCast News - WTF is the Ministry of Sport & Tourism, (no) trees on Slawkowska street, more hate for cyclists and stats on Polish names
Dave's out this week so we're joined by our good friend Dr. Mike for commentary on this week's news items, the first of which is the existential question of just what the Ministry of Sport & Tourism does all day. After a discussion of some stats on tourism to Poland, we question the logic of the government official who decided that we can't have trees on Slawkowska street because there have never been trees on Slawskowska street. We then move on to the effort to ban evil cyclists (that is, all cyclists) from the Planty and finish with some government statistics on Polish names that prove that 97% of all Polish boys are named Kuba.

September 10, 2018 KrakCast - Poland, are you really going to eat that?
Every culture has culinary dishes that make outsiders ask "Do you actually eat that? Like, seriously?" In this episode, we talk about the Polish foods and ingredients that seem to us like something out of a North Korean prison. We then go in the other direction and make the conversation about things we do like and the Polish food & restaurant scene generally. Smacznego!

September 07, 2018 KrakCast Movies - "303. Battle of England" - Part 2 - THE REVIEW!!!
Better late than never, right? We went to see "303. Battle of England", also known as "Hurricane", on Cheap Wednesday at Cinema City. We have mixed feelings about what we saw but, on balance, there were more positives than we expected. Check out our full review and check out the movie soon if you're interested—based on the empty seats we saw, it might not be around for long.

September 04, 2018 KrakCast News - The EU can't decide what time it is, Airbnb complicates Krakow and murder in the Planty. Oh, and Nazis again.
The news is back and the title says it all. This week we talk about the EU's ongoing battle against changing the clocks, a new development in Krakow that will have twice as many tourists staying there as permanent residents and a murder with strange circumstances that took place early Friday morning in the Planty. Then, as apparently required by the rules of The KrakCast, we somehow land on the subject of Nazis before wrapping up.
