  • Was ist das brilliance

    I asked Siri to play me a podcast for expats in Austria and was thrown this gem. As an Australian (slowly learning German), I can generally only understand half of this but it’s still hilarious and I appreciate the random stories, very insightful into Wien life.

    These guys are getting me through living in the States until I move back to Austria. I listen to them every Monday while I make my Palatschinken. ♥️

  • Hmm

    The topics are very interesting, but the Austrian guy is very rude and hates everything 🧐 to every single topic he is always unhappy. It is not nice to hear.

  • Amazing

    As an Australian coming to Vienna for an exchange, I randomly found this podcast about a 2 months ago. I love it. You boys genuinely put a smile on my face every week (even if I can’t really understand Gabi)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Selling Fire Safety in Flip-Flops
Q: The first one is, do we have to have had experience in a fire to sell fire safety equipment?
Anja explains that while prior experience with fire safety is advantageous, it is not strictly required if the candidate has a strong technical background and a genuine interest in safety; training and on-the-job learning are emphasized.
#221 Thomas Brezina über das Leben, seine Arbeit & Tom Turbo
Q: What tip do you have for all of us to access our inner child?
Distinguish between two aspects of the inner child: the wounded inner child from childhood that needs healing, and the intrinsic playful, curious life force. Address past wounds through therapeutic exercises like writing a letter to those who hurt you, reading it aloud to a neutral listener, and then burning it to symbolically release the pain.
#219 ESC Beginner’s Guide mit Eurovision Song Contest Professor Mario Lackner
Q: What do you think about the potential for Cosmo and younger artists—can they realistically reach the finals?
Cosmo has a strong fanbase and clear ambitions, but success will depend on both the song's universal appeal and the competition's broader voting dynamics, including regional preferences and performance quality on the night.
#219 ESC Beginner’s Guide mit Eurovision Song Contest Professor Mario Lackner
Q: What makes the voting system (jury plus televoting) so compelling or controversial?
The mixed system adds excitement because it combines assessed quality from juries with the spontaneous, popular reaction of viewers, and the way it can swing in the final moments keeps audiences engaged until the last vote.
#219 ESC Beginner’s Guide mit Eurovision Song Contest Professor Mario Lackner
Q: How would you explain the Eurovision Song Contest to somebody in a small town in rural America that has no idea what it is?
I would say to watch reaction videos on YouTube to get a sense of the immediate, often humorous human responses while also recommending watching performances to understand the spectacle, diversity, and musical variety that define the event.
