We are all going to die!!!

Nick and Florian put on their best holiday cheer for what is probably their most depressing podcast to date: How (Western) civilization will end. Because we wanted to cheer you up before the 35C3. Naturally, it was taped at a Starbucks in an Airport.

Florian, Nick and a Special Guest enjoy "vaguely authentic" Mexican in Mannheim

In a return to their vaguely Mexican food related podcast past, our co-hosts and a special guest feast on Baden-Württemberg's finest....tacos. Warm up to the faint sounds of this past summer's World Cup as our hosts opine on the usual set of topics: Beer, Language, Food Authenticity and (Reverse) Culture Shock. Also, for the first time on the podcast, food orders are placed in three different languages.

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.
