What's The Mate‪?‬ Bear Radio

In this episode we are joined by the talented Tina Marie Serra, Salim Fadhley, Zhenya Armazov and Johanna Gustin, at Podfest Berlin with a live studio audience!

The nightmare story of someone's morning routine, the phanton rain from trees in Berlin and the time Zhenya swindled a child for a game of Jenga are turned into hilarious improv skits with the sisters Hildie and Hilda, two sneaky sorceresses, a new improv podcast called What The Aphid and the turbulant tale of a family and their prized collection of boardgames.

This episode brings a fun but not unfamiliar change of pace: two-prov! This time we’re joined by Kevin Napier and Andrew Blumhagen of Bloodthirsty for a slow burn that gets weirder and weirder the longer you listen.

Stories of smart appliances locking people in, abandoned e-scooters and Christmas Market bouncers inspire a newsworthy but unmemorable robbery, an emotional rollercoaster in a cellphone store and a festive season thug who’s been getting the wrong end of the stick this whole time.

This episode of What’s The Mate brings together three familiar favourites; Angie Cornwell, Tina Joaquim and Carl Clancy.

Stories of camping gone wrong, horrendous choice of advertising space, and viral videos of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz get turned into some of our favourite improv skits with little ticks and their “Blood Mothers”, political activists turned entertainers and employees who should seriously read the fineprint on their contracts.

*Not Safe For Over Thirties* This episode contains content that will make you feel old, but don’t worry, everyone behind the mic is with you.

Matilde Kaizer, Trevor Silverstein and Lauren Sedger from the Comedy Cafe Berlin house teams join us for another raucous episode of What’s the Mate?. Julia shares news from the Langenscheidt Publishing House and what the public have determined is the 2022 German Youth Word of the Year, a real-life story about what happens at her adult sleepovers, and Matilde walks us through the experience of trying to adopt a cat in Germany.

These stories inspire scenes of hip grannies trying to connect with their grandchildren, a touring band called The Tucks and their absurd connection to burritos, and an adoption interrogation turned pet sacrifice - enjoy!

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.
