Recorded April 3, 2025 live at Another Country Bookstore with hosts Izzy and Dan, plus special guest host Antonia Bär. After addressing the great weather, recent strikes and a reminder to check out the kickstarter we’ve launched for the vinyl release of “How to F#€K Up An Airport” (LINK) , we delve into local Berlin news: Update on the progress of the Autofrei Berlin petition, neo-nazi intrusions into Berlin are escalating, there’s a crack in the A100 and it’s affecting not just drivers but public transit as well. We take a quick look at anti-musk protests in Berlin, a recent attempt to deport activists, a minor scandal for the local CDU and more…
The first interview guests of the episode are with Ester of 100% Tempelhofer Feld and Jolene, from Architects for Tempelhofer Feld. We discuss the history of the Feld and current threats to overturn the citizen’s initiative which keeps it open space free for all of us to enjoy. What did the CDU/CSU do in April last year to change the legal status of the Templehofer Feld? And what’s Merz got to do with it?
Dan addresses the facts behind rumors and tabloid reporting of a recent fentanyl positive test in Berlin’s drug supply, with help from Philipp Kreicarek KnowDrugs. And we conclude by chatting with Sebastian Thauer, local show promoter who recently co-founded the Cake Walk music festival. He hopes to support and celebrate the local DIY hardcore punk scene and encourages us not just to check out the festival but also get involved, by joining a collective or starting a band.
