Deutschrap-Desaster, Reality-TV-Hölle und die Frage aller Fragen. Willkommen zurück bei 2G7! Nach einer unfreiwilligen Pause durch Krankheit und Arbeitsdruck melden sich Dobbi und Käthe zurück – mit einer Folge, die tief in die Untiefen deutscher Popkultur eintaucht.

Dobbi kontert mit filmischen Enttäuschungen: Der neue Denzel-Washington-Film endet in einem Rap-Battle hinter Gittern (Fremdschäm-Alarm!), und der Bruce...

We've brought on a new host to Rock Your Retirement. Henry Shapiro, host of Retired Excited. Henry IS retired, and when he started thinking that managing a show was too much for him, I invited him to bring his past episodes to Rock Your Retirement so they wouldn't be lost. We'll be bringing an archived show over each week for your enjoyment. Then as he has times, he may bring some additional episodes over. We hope he does. So when you hear “Retired Excited” don't feel that you're lost. Our plan is to release the Retired Excited episodes with Henry on Friday...
