Rat Bois United
I’ve met my podcast partner Jonathan in real life for the first time and guess what? We didn’t hate each other enough to stop the show.
Last week, my good friends Jonathan and Halefa – collectively operating the GegenWind photo studio – visited me in the Rhineland. We hung out together, visited the Landschaftspark in my home town of Duisburg and then went to my place in Düsseldorf for food and cocktails. While we were at the Landschaftspark, Halefa took some photos of Jonathan and myself to promote our podcast. These turned out really well and I’ve updated the show’s album art and website accordingly.
This marked the first time I’ve met Jonathan and Halefa in person, having talked to both of them a lot over the last two years while playing games online and streaming together. As I’ve discovered with many other friends I have made online, when you meet in person it’s almost like you’ve actually know each other and have hung out before. Therefore, it’s no surprise that we had a lot of fun on our day out together. Jonathan and me are planning to talk about this experience on the next episode of Escape the Talk Show, which should be recorded and released later in the week.
Until that episode is out, you can listen to the previous four episodes of the podcast, if you want. By design, the show covers a wide variety of topics and includes the occasional light-hearted moment as well as some frustrated rants. Both because of the topics we are discussing, but also because we are playing Escape from Tarkov while we are recording and are liable to get killed mercilessly any minute.
We’re playing the new patch of Escape from Tarkov after the wipe and we’re getting killed more than usual while trying to talk about the TV show Bosch and static site generators. Also fruit bats. Can’t forget the fruit bats, Jonathan’s special friends.
→ Episode 3: A Shower, Not a Grower
Jonathan and Fab hit the Woods of Tarkov, casually kill Shturman and talk about the European football championship, the health benefits of video games, new features in Escape from Tarkov and nudity in German spas.
In the second episode, Jonathan and Fab discuss crazy rich people and pride parades. This includes a discussion of the Danish submarine murder, submarines in general and also Zamonia and Dirk Bach.
→ Episode 1: The Stormtroopers of Gentrification
In the inaugural episode of the podcast, Jonathan and Fab introduce themselves and the idea of this show. They explain how they met and why they are doing this. Also: The truth about random German towns like Witten, famous for its satanic murders, and Hannover, famous for nothing at all.
