Florian talks to his friend Nico who lives in the neighborhood of La Condesa in the heart of Mexico City. They talk about the current situation in relation to the Corona pandemic in Mexico and how it evolved over the last months.
Usually Nick writes something very witty here. Today not so much. Because Nick wasn't involved in the creation of this episode.

Many failed attempts at podcast professional segues.
What podcast from two guys would be complete without talking about their other favorite podcasts? Or working from home? Or Burning Man? We cover all the cliche topics in this episode on top of weirder things like company-internal podcasts, binge writing show notes and two BIG pieces of news from our host.

A return to Spanish speaking countries and low quality audio! Florian (literally!) phones in from Mallorca to while Nick (metaphorically) phones it in while folding laundry. Talk of travels missed and travels made, including Nick's grand return to Mexico on his brand new Chilean passport by way of a Denver rehab facility. Finally: SEND US YOUR DRAFT IDEAS!

Nick's new life with two dogs, two cats and (at his) girlfriend('s house).
Even though we recorded this on the same day as the previously released one, we're releasing it several months later. Somehow, Nick knew this so there's a handy recap of the prior episode going into this one. We meet Nick's girlfriend from the nature center and hear a bit about his new life right after reminiscing about his old life...and the old version of this podcast.

6,000 Diesel Chugga Chuggas before a Single Satellite Choo Choo.
Nothing says dystopian future podcast like calling in from a Satellite phone while riding cross-country trains in the USA. As you'll hear in the first few seconds, sound quality was not the first priority on this very remote edition of SW2L, where Nick talks all about saving the world through planting trees and riding trains while Florian tells us about the start of his burgeoning music career.
