[S1E5] From Austria to Outer Space

Schnitz & Giggles

Prepare for space travel as Mr. Giggles challenges our very own Dr. Schnitzel to an Austrian trivia face-off that will prove the Austrianness of this podcast once and for all!
But we're not just here for the trivia – oh no – we're dishing out intriguing tidbits, from Alpine roads eyeing UNESCO's seal of approval to a certain spa town that snagged a spot on the world heritage list.
Our chat takes an unexpected co(s)mic swerve with the help of modern technology labeled 'Austroficial Intelligence,' where the edelwisecrackers conjure up a podcast voyage that will boldly take you where no one has gone before.
From the sensitive topic of Austria's Nazi history to the whimsical realm of Space Nazis as depicted in the Finnish flick "Iron Sky," we explore how the Voyager spacecrafts might be carrying a slice of dark history into the universe.
By the end of this episode, you will have learned more about the depths of the Austrian soul and how the "Waldheim Waltz" echoes through time. So, sit back and let us take you on an auditory escapade and see for yourself if it is as educational as it is entertaining. From Austria's historical haunts to hypothetical space invaders – we'll talk you to the moon and back!
