Why didn’t Chris and Dan get into Berghain? (Part 2)
We travel to Germany to trace techno's history from Detroit to Berlin. The story of how, after the Wall fell, Berlin exorcised its brutal past with a very strange, decade-long party. A mission that takes us all the way to the gates of Berghain.
Music Credits: Original composition in this episode by Armen Bazarian. Additional Tracks: Game One - Infiniti, Dead Man Watches The Clock - Marcel Dettmann & Ben Klock, The Call - Marcel Dettmann & Norman Nodge, Quicksand - Marcel Dettmann. Full playlist here.

Why didn’t Chris and Dan get into Berghain? (Part 1)
Two Americans embark on a quest: fly across an ocean to try to get into the most exclusive nightclub in the world – Berghain. A German techno palace where the line outside can last 8 hours, and the bouncers are merciless in their judgments. The club does not explain how it makes its decisions about who can enter, but one foolish podcaster will try to explain anyway.

How much glue should you put in your pizza?
An internet breaking news story. As we told you last week, Google has begun offering AI-generated answers to search questions. But some answers, it turns out, are strange. Users were told, for instance, that glue was an appropriate ingredient for homemade pizza. We talk to reporter Katie Notopolous, who baked and ate her own homemade glue pizza.

Customer Reviews
Great stuff
PJ is still at it, always questioning, formulating the problem and exploring in a systematic yet thoroughly engaging and entertaining way. I’m a fan!
Patron subscriber feed no longer maintained
As someone who has contributed financially to this podcast, I would love to have written a 5-star review, but lately the ad-free "patron" feed is no longer maintained and the latest episodes have not been posted. I hope I'm just missing something in which case I will adjust my review.
Love!
I love PJ’s podcasting, so glad to have another show from him!
