This episode of What's The Mate brings together three familiar favourites; Angie Cornwell, Jenna Stone and Blake Farha of Kaleidoscope, this time under the umbrella of Macaroni Raincoat Shoe. Their choice, not ours. Stories of Yassification, pet dryers, 3D printed steaks and an unlawful house party get turned into the wackiest improv skits with bizarre magicians, a family who takes rules into their own hands and Duckie the overworked Dog. This episode is brought to you by Bear Radio. Thanks again to Tom Evans of Particle Sound for the theme song and to Hindenburg for their support.

In this bananas episode of What's The Mate, we bring you wonderful tales from our very own Berlin, and improvisers Kevin Napier, Tina Joaquim and Blake Farha spin hilarious sketches throughout. This episode has everything: horse wars, uranium-laced fireman suits from Chernobyl, and an uppity hospital patient named Oscar. This week's stories include Julia's experience with the cute vintage hat that tried to kill her, the 23,000 (!!) charming gas lamps still burning in Berlin, and how Tina's cat's reputation at the vet precedes her…and that's not always a good thing.

Welcome to the March installment of URSA! In this episode, we take the opportunity to address the Ukraine war, taking a look at where the conflict began, the demonstrations in Donetsk, Russian sanctions, Putin's fight for power over Eastern Europe, and more. We also explore the major role that energy and natural resources play in this conflict and how the EU's energy insecurity remains a core part of the issue.Our feature story takes us to communist Poland in the 80s as we learn the story of pole vaulter and Olympic gold medalist, Władysław Kozakiewicz. Then, we dive into the almost antiquated world of sister cities and find out which German city is ‘related' to Louisville, Kentucky. As always we have Jane Silver of Exberliner, our food correspondent, this time telling us all about the French food scene in Berlin, and how a teenage Tesla stalker found his new passion. Jonny Tiernan, our culture correspondent, from Lola Magazine joins us to chat about what's happening in Berlin - from a 4D Darkroom experience by Pornceptual, to MaerzMusik, the launch of Synchron Magazine, and more.Closing with original music from Blake Farha.
