After a few more mugs of Glühwein, we round out our twelve days of Christmas market scandals with some Schwabenhass and culture wars.

We also have an announcement about an upcoming live show! We will be teaming up again with our friends at Corner Späti for a live show on January 9 to celebrate(?) the new traffic light coalition and Scholz cabinet. We had planned on having the show at Donau115, the same bar in Neukölln where we hosted our election night live show, but recent restrictions in Berlin mean we'll likely have to move the event online. Watch this space!
