Ep 49: Roasted & Toasted

On the show this week:

Simon has broken the seal and cooked his first roast dinner of the year and Nic is desperate for the details. How were the roast potatoes, did the Yorkshire puddings get all fluffy, and what was Simon’s secret recipe for the vegetables? To accompany the food mood music, Nic is preparing for his annual favourite meal in Germany, although he’s not exactly sure how it’s made.

We dive into the deep waters of German football to ask why Bundesliga tickets are so much cheaper than tickets for the premier league. We talk about the German matchday experience, the joy of the standing section and the best stadiums to watch football in Germany.

We see out the show with a quick discussion on the possibility of cannabis legalisation in Germany. What’s changed in supposedly conservative Germany, how will Germany’s cannabis culture develop and what comparisons can be drawn from the US experience of a legal, taxable cannabis industry?
