The Velvet Hammer Episode 6: We barely made it to the studio this week after an enormous storm hit the city and left streets surging with rivers of water. With storm drains overflowing, it was akin to the atmospheric river over California. In expat news, we discuss the local nickname for US citizens, “yankees” from “yankeelandia” before an update about Milei’s omnibus law and his visit to Israel. With a jump back to the USA, we review some of the voting results but get bored and share some of our favorite types of beer. After quick coverage of another university free-speech scandal, we celebrate South America’s first architectural award of its type. For those thinking about visiting, we cover renting a new apartment in the city and cheer Tom on with his search.

Coming every Thursday, this is The Velvet Hammer with your hosts, Jonny, Tom, & Tadeo, three American expats recording from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Brought to you by One Eleven Entertainment.
