When disaffected teens in East Berlin first heard the Sex Pistols on British military radio in 1977, they couldn’t have known that those radio waves would spark a revolution. In the DDR, or East Germany, everyday life was obsessively planned and oppressively boring. To be punk was to be an individual, someone who wasn’t having any of the state’s rules. That didn’t exactly endear punks to the Stasi, the DDR’s dreaded secret police. Punks lost their jobs and families, were spied on for years by their own friends, had their homes searched and trashed by the police, and were even thrown in prison for dissidence. But every time the state cracked down, the punks only fanned the flames of resistance, ultimately firing up a nationwide, mainstream protest movement. American writer, translator, and former Berlin DJ Tim Mohr joins us on the podcast to tell the story of how punk rock brought down the Wall. This episode originally aired 29 years to the day after it came tumbling down, November 9, 2018.Go beyond the episode:Tim Mohr’s Burning Down the HausFor photographs of East German punks, peruse the online gallery for the exhibition Ostpunk!

Radio GDR host Shane Whaley shares 38 Things I learned about East Germany from reading Burning Down The Haus by Tim Mohr. I thoroughly Burning Down The Haus and you do not have to be a fan of punk rock to enjoy it. The book reveals the sub culture (and bravery!) of the East German punk scene. By reading Tim Mohr's book we learn a lot about life in East Germany.

In Burning Down the Haus: Punk Rock, Revolution, and the Fall of the Berlin Wall (Algonquin Books, 2018), Tim Mohr examines East Germany punk rock and its role in the collapse of the East German dictatorship. Starting in the late 1970s, a small group of East Berlin teens started listening to the Sex Pistols through British military radio broadcast to troops in West Berlin. Punk became life-changing. With so much future dictated for teens by the East German dictatorship, punk was a revolutionary philosophy that gave the youth a way to reject the society around them and build a new one. In Burning Down the Haus, Mohr shares the stories of the early punk scene as it formed in East Berlin, as youth formed bands and created sites of resistance. Mohr relates how the youth endured torture by the Stasi (East German secret police), being spied on by friends and their families, being fired from jobs and expelled from school, and imprisoned and beaten by police. The punks fought back, pushing to bring down the East German government throughout the 1980s. Instead of leaving East Berlin, the young people chose to remain and fight against the regime, creating revolution in their own communities. Through interviews with individuals who were part of the scene as well as letters, Stasi files, and other primary research, Mohr presents a comprehensive exploration into the lives and histories of the young people who openly fought to end the East German dictatorship by using the ideologies of punk rock and creating their own scene. Rebekah Buchanan is an Associate Professor of English at Western Illinois University. Her work examines the role of narrative in people’s lives. She researches zines, zine writers and the influence of music subcultures and fandom on writers and narratives.

When disaffected teens in East Berlin first heard the Sex Pistols on British military radio in 1977, they couldn’t have known that those radio waves would spark a revolution. In the DDR, or East Germany, everyday life was obsessively planned and oppressively boring. To be punk was to be an individual, someone who wasn’t having any of the state’s rules. That didn’t exactly endear punks to the Stasi, the DDR’s dreaded secret police. Punks lost their jobs and families, were spied on for years by their own friends, had their homes searched and trashed by the police, and were even thrown in prison for dissidence. But every time the state cracked down, the punks only fanned the flames of resistance, ultimately firing up a nationwide, mainstream protest movement.

The ;conversation with Tim Mohr will be moderated by WBAL-TV anchor Andre Hepkins.The story of East German punk rock is about much more than music; it is a story of extraordinary bravery in the face of one of the most oppressive regimes in history. It began with a handful of East Berlin teens who heard the Sex Pistols on a British military radio broadcast to troops in West Berlin in 1980, and it ended with the collapse of the East German dictatorship. When the East German punks became more numerous, more visible, and more rebellious, security forces—including the dreaded secret police, the Stasi—targeted them.

Greetings podcast listeners! Everyone in the industry has had questions about the Horizon Hobby buyout of Hobbico, and I mean EVERYONE. Hobby shop owners, manufacturers, even your average basher, wants to know what's happening to some of their favorite brands. We recently had the honor of being invited to sit down with Joe Ambrose, the CEO and President of Horizon Hobby, and ask him a bunch of questions that we had and knew that our readers had. When we were finished with the interview, we left with some great answers to our questions as well as learning a little more about the true passion Joe has for the RC industry. For the regular listeners of the podcast, this episode features Big Squid RC's Brian Smolik and Tim Mohr doing the question asking, while Tim Gluth did the intro and Editing. This all happened while we were down in Champaign IL during the 2018 Horizon RC Fest. We know not everyone wants to listen to a podcast, we were hoping to have the transcript for this up at the same time, but it's taking a little longer to make that happen. As soon as we have that done, we will let everyone know. We can't thank Joe and Horizon Hobby enough for the amazing opportunity to sit down and chat, and hopefully answer some questions people had about what's been going on.
