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
1 pinch salt

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.

Sooooochiiiiiiii

As you can hear from the first few seconds, this is not the typical SW2L. Recorded ON A BOAT in the "Little Venice of Mexico" where the flowers grow, Florian and Nick take a step back and let Jahshua and friends do pretty much all of the talking. Whether it's the origins of the ancient Xochimilcas, uncovering how Porfirio Diaz was a player or why Reggaeton is so popular today, our special guests have a little something for everyone.

Peri-ferry-GO!

In this "emergency podcast" episode, Nick and Florian reminisce about the upcoming episodes they just recorded and really stoked about! While there was no actual emergency, despite the unexpected downpour, the crew hopes this mold-breaking episode will help properly set the stage for the upcoming two-episode Xochimilco special!

Why Mexico City rocks!

Finally, our intrepid Güeros get around to recording in an actual taco restaurant! What a perfect preface for the "Why Mexico City rocks" draft. Florian sticks to the concrete reasons, while Nick rambles on with the conceptual before inviting some of the Quentin locals and employees to tell us what makes CDMX extra special.
