Willkommen auf den Unusual Ef’pod! In episode 18, we discuss all things Germany! From the national team to the Bundesliga, from Tim Wiese to Alexandra Popp, nothing is off the table!
Self-described Bundesliga Buddies Kirsten, Megan, and newcomer October discuss what makes the league unique and why they keep watching. The podcasters imbibe various amounts of alcohol as they discuss everything from emo Foals to worst tattoos. It’s “Off the Rails, Part 27” in this episode.
We discuss our favorite tifos (Kirsten, Megan, October) and explain how “our” teams came to be. And what exactly is in the water in the Ruhrpott that creates such interesting footballers? And who has the worst tattoos (Leroy Sané or Lukas Podolski)?
Listen with Megaphone (or download using your favorite podcast app–we can be found under “All for XI”) and let us know your faves, or chime in on what you’d like covered on upcoming Pods.
