101_Joss Whedons Angel 25.03.2025 51:30
Man I love this old show. I just finished watching Angel season 1 to 5 after so many years and i really have to say, it's worth every second. I personally enjoyed it a lot more than Buffy, but that is because of the darker tone the story overall had. Aside from some really crazy episodes like the puppet episode on season 7. (genius) I'll start rambling about the new reboot being planned, s...
100_Mortality and Sense of Purpose 16.03.2025 55:01
Hey everyone. I've been hitting episode Nr. 100 in this podcast, but I can't seem to find anything remotely cool to talk about, except that I have been thinking a lot about mortality lately. And with it, the choices I made and the time I have left to create something of meaning for myself. Because I am and always will be an artist by heart. Time is short and it only becomes shorter. So take all op...
099_emotionally broken men 24.02.2025 1:07:10
On Marriage.com, I found an article that I find a bit difficult to take seriously. Take a look here:' https://www.marriage.com/advice/relationship/emotionally-broken-man/ I'm not saying that these points are invalid, but I don't see how this article helps shedding light on current issues in society. Not all men going through rough phases become emotionally broken. Using a term like &qu...
098_Ditching pseudo friends 07.02.2025 53:22
Hey, I'm back sooner then expected. I wanted to talk about a guy from work whom I offered friendship which he squandered completely due to jealousy and paranoia. Unfortunately, he will never be able to learn from his mistakes.
092_Online Dating Scams 21.10.2024 40:47
Scammers are getting worse and worse on platforms like Facebook dating, Instagram or Telegram and many many more. My experiences are often the same, with reoccurring patters. This crap will never stop any time soon...
090_My Brother / A.I. as a teacher 07.09.2024 1:00:12
boy oh boy, I'm getting slow here... Th fist half of this episode is about my only blood brother in the family and our falling out. It's the first 30 minutes. The other half is about a subject, that I firmly disagree with. A.I. will not be able to replace teachers. Why I am in favour of A.I. over a human being and how we as a people could benefit from it. Never underestimate the A.I. broth...
086_New Mini ITX Machine 15.07.2024 53:30
Something that I always love to do, is play and experiment from time to time with PC Hardware and Linux. Currently, I'd like to replace an old system with a newer and better one, for retro gaming, Internet, Netflix and other streaming sevices, as well as playing real media such as blu-rays. Before we get there, the first 20 minutes are updates to my life and some woman I'd like to date, bu...
082 - My Trip to Athens 23.05.2024 39:36
So there I am back again at my desk after returning from my vacation in Athens. It was a blast for me to see my friends there and had a great time. This episode is all about that trip, the food, the landscape and some other things :D If you haven't been there, get off your ass :D
081_Why hobbies are so important. 21.04.2024 54:28
Hello everyone. I find it quite troubling, that we live in a world in witch some people claim hobbies aren't so important, or not having hobbiees doesn't matter too much. It's the question as to how you regenerate yourself with distracting activities. But I don't think that anyone should just look for pure distractions. And I think I might be able to explain why. Cheers!
079_Francisco Ibáñez 21.03.2024 56:41
Francisco Ibáñez was during my teenage years my absolute favorite artist in thr world. My favorite comic book artist, that is. His gag-comic style was so profoundly exciting and provocative, brutal and insanely creative, that it knocked me off my feet when reading them for the first time. He was the main reason, why I started to see comic book art as a profession, instead of just a hobby. (look wh...
078_Eric Barone - the one man army 11.03.2024 19:55
Eric Barone is the developer behind Stardew Valley. It took him 4 years to develop the game and a very tight cycle of dedicated work. Even managed to maintain a relationship with his long term girldfriend, to my surprise xD. If you have never heard of this guy and his efforts, check him out and search for some good articles or even interviews online. His success is truly inspirational. Cheers!
075_Pro choice & childfree 18.02.2024 1:14:40
The first part will be an update on my artworkt, including something that I have posted on instagram recently. The rest is a rant about the ongoing debate in america: Is it better to be pro life or pro choice. I personally can't see a good argument for pro life in any way. In this day and age, I find it shameful that we still need to talk about this crap and why it is imprtant to let others ma...
074_Ghostbusters are back 03.02.2024 31:49
Yes, they are back. Old and grey but here to save the day. Just rambling away at the new Frozen Empire movie comming out and how excited I am to see it. I cna't share the criticism from some folks on social media. What good does that do? We have the original cast once again back together in... well. what seems to be a longer screen time for the whole bunch. The new stars fit the universe just...
073_Can Money Make You Happy? 26.01.2024 56:50
I like ranting about this topic, since I strongly believe, that I know what money is good for and what you can and should do with it. I noticd that I go a little off the railes sometimes when I rant and talk to much, but in the end I do mean well. Money is a tool after all. Cheers and c u soon!
072_New Year 2024 31.12.2023 35:24

065_Things to do when you are single 29.10.2023 1:06:55
Hello again. Long time no speak... Today I wanted to get some ideas off my chest about which activities to follow when you are single. It is vital to stay occupied is what I am trying to say here, as well as maintaining a stable and healthy lifestyle. It might be true that I am mainly talking out of my ass here, because it all sounds really simple, even thought the battle with our own loneliness c...
63_Immature Friends 21.09.2023 42:25
A friend of mine from work, is behaving a bit like a jealous big baby, because I have spent a bit more time with a different person. We are talking about grown men here, and this phenomenon is something I have experienced more often, with this level of educated people, this level of social competence. Troubling, what there is SOMETIMES... not that much you can do about it :/. I use this experience...
059_ clichés and stereotyping women 17.06.2023 1:00:41
There is an article about persistent and present clichés of how many men still see women these days. It was published/posted by the "Stern" magazine in Germany earlier this year. While some points are quite valid, not everything is that simple. You can't always bring the 1950's into an argument, as if all men have inherited the same dogma since this time period. Further more I do...
058_Peter Gabriel in Cologne 2023 14.06.2023 57:01

052_Tinder Germany is loosing members 19.02.2023 59:50
Covering a topic that deals with the decline of memberships on Tinder in Germany. The newer platforms such as Humble or Bumble seem to attract more attention towards those who believe they can find a long term relationship. You can probably guess how I view these things and cynical as I am, I don't trust this development at all, nor do I believe anybody should be using one of those three apps. But...
046_Peter Gabriel's new Album and Tour 10.11.2022 32:13
This is it boys and girls, Gabriel is back with new material and going on a world tour in 2023! I'll be sharing my thoughts and excitement on the album not knowing what exactly might be on there. I did forget the track "Love can Heal", wich was played live during the Rock Paper Scissors Tour in the US, with Sting on stage. I did not mention it here, but i think it might pop up on the album. Other...
045_Peter Gabriel - Here it is 22.10.2022 46:42
It's time to talk about Peter Gabriels latest cover of Leonard Cohen, Here it is. My thoughts on the track, my thoughts on why and when Gabriel fans have been divided over the years, when ever something new came out, or of course the ongoing Genesis era vs. his solo career. Stay tuned :D
044_Wife tricked Husband 02.10.2022 34:08
Guys, this is a real story of someone I knew from work. Someone who was looking for love all his life and thought he finally found somebody. He was absolutely convinced that she was worthy of being his wife and mother of his child. But things go south rather quickly. The reality his harsh and painful at this time. I think you know where this is going, so tune in and hear the story. Cheers :-) ...
042_Vacation in Athens 14.09.2022 36:53
Back from my vacation! Just wanted to talk about my experiences down there, the friends I have met, the food I ate the visiting the great acropolis up the mountain top. Great view of the entire capitol. Some major differences come to mind comparing Germany with Greece, the mentality and their behaviour, overall kindness and hospitality. I miss those people already and made me sad to travel back ho...
