S1 E6: Cuisine
Black Pudding, Sauerkraut and Pancakes, lots of them! Join us in this delicious episode of Bridging the Barrier, where we talk about what we eat in our countries, especially pancakes! Pádraic sounds more crisp than ever and FutureTim makes his first appearance correcting past Tim.Also, this episode is late, because the editor, Tim, managed to lose about half the editing and then had to redo it. That’s why the editing is also not up the standards set by the last episode. FutureTim was very upset, you can be sure. Also Ben's PC felt like failing on us delaying the upload even further. Nonetheless, here it is! Our theme music is Wallpaper from Incompetech and all sound effects are from Orangefreesounds and Freesound

Or rather in our four countries. Also, this is the first episode that Tim edited and he can praise his editing here, since he’s also writing this, what a conniving plan.

I want to hear more from the Irish guy
Best podcast ever and really they should replace Tzuf with his mother, Ben with his girlfriend, Tim with a Russian but keep Padraic!
