SW032 An apartment in La Condesa

Usually Nick writes something very witty here. Today not so much. Because Nick wasn't involved in the creation of this episode.

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.

SW030 At Home (Not Alone)

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.

Many failed attempts at podcast professional segues.

Nick returns to his apartment in Mexico City and absolutely fails to eat any actual Mexican food. Florian absolutely fails to find any good beer in Germany. Plans about the future of the podcast are hatched in the draft.

SW028 Valldemossa

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!

Unprepared, and drunk.

SW027 Kristin's Place

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.

Nick's new life with two dogs, two cats and (at his) girlfriend('s house).

SW026 BMW X3 (2004)

Having covered Trains, we skip past Planes and move on to Automobiles while bringing you only mildly higher audio quality. Nick actually completely forgot about the long-awaited podcasting appointment, along with his microphone and laptop, so Florian goes with it and does a first ever podcast recording over Skype. Also guest starring: Nick's Mom.

How many different codecs can you use to record a podcast?
