Several Ways To Live In Mexico City

Nick meets Florian for a working lunch in Frankfurt.

What used to be a vaguely Mexican food related podcast is now a vaguely Air Cargo and Freight Hauling podcast. The lovely glass roof of the Frankfurt Airport Squaire shows you HOW LOW THOSE PLANES ARE FLYING OVERHEAD. You'll notice this point come up a lot as a jetlagged Nick meets a fresh-from-work Florian for their first face to face meeting since they both moved back to the countries they are citizens of. Also, for the first time on the podcast, Florian orders in his native language.

More special guests than headsets!

Recorded LIVE from the 18th Gulaschprogrammiernacht, using transcontinental "your mom joke technology" and enough callbacks to keep a field phone network busy, our intrepid hosts return from their six week hiatus with an all star cast of SW2L's best listeners! No Nerd topic was left behind, as the conversation drifted along topics as diverse as making music with Game Boys to the arcane process of compiling GPL software written by people who make money selling binaries. Our guests also discuss their experiences at the #GPN18.

Florian and Nick almost get thrown off a balcony

Call the waaaambulance, because Florian and Nick ended up getting solidly burned by our special guest and Florian's wife: Kathrin. Between those sick burns, the happy couple reflects on their time in Mexico and what heading back to Germany will be like. Nick does his best to be inoffensive and horribly fails.

Apple Betty:

4 Cups Apples
1 Cup Sugar
3/4 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup Butter
1/4 Cup Orange Juice
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

Butter the dish, throw the apples in, mash the rest and throw on top…

P.S. Too much Nutmeg can be poisonous.

Our favorite places in Mexico City

After taking care of some business from the brand new Mastodon account at Quentin, Florian and Nick get to talking about their favorite places in Mexico City. They both order shockingly non-Mexican dishes at Lalo. ticking off yet another mythical coffee filter recommendation.

The WTF episode

The draft idea was "WTF Moments", and we delivered. So much so we even had to censor ourselves. Nick really wanted to talk about the good times, yet utterly failed in that while absolutely crushing the WTF draft. Florian shared some amusing automotive tales and reasons your German web concern should hire him.

Nicks Mama gewinnt den Podcast

Nick's parents are in town visiting and well...now we know why he's so talkative! Ignore the preface and enjoy Florian, Paul and Bridget as they gang up on poor "Nick-O-Laaaas" while conversationally meandering through racism, being immigrants, getting drafted and other topics having not so much to do with food or Mexico.

Draft: Sounds of the City

The Cyberwehr, sounds of buried rivers, afternoon urban silences and other things that may or may not exist depending on your point of view smashed right up against some of the most iconic and real sounds of Mexico City. As is customary, Nick goes conceptual while Florian keeps it so real, he has audio proof to back him up.

The -Ism Episode

"These kinds of things are tattooed on the minds of the Mexican people," says Jahshua in our first episode where race, class and inequality are addressed head-on. While nothing so complex can be contained in a single podcast episode, many insights on how we arrived at today's Mexico come alive through the thoughts of Jahshua and Edgar in this very special episode of SW2L.
