#46 – Talking Heads

A24 is arguably one of the most exciting production companies in film, in the past years. They have been part of so many fantastic productions, looking through their filmography is quite dizzying. I’d wager that all of you have watched at least one of their feature films, e.g. Ex Machina, Room, Swiss Army Man, Moonlight,…

#45 – Raavi & the Houseplants

Aaaaaand we’re back! One thing that has definitely changed from my times as a German-market SDR is that people outside of the good ol’ Germany don’t really go by calendar weeks the way Germans do.

As this might be the last pre-holiday working day that all of us (?) are not off yet, I am sending you one of my favorite Christmas song today. It ponders one of the key questions that get’s mentioned for too rarely, if you ask me! On the fourth day of musical lead-up, my colleague…
