More guests join in on the conversation about identity and the secret to 'the animal question'.  

In part 2 of our Hair of the Dog mini-series, we discuss 'the' question: what are your favourite 3 animals?  The answers define you...listen in to find out how!

In part one of the Hair of the Dog mini-series, I sit with veteran nomad Ulrich from Germany and discuss the one rule he thinks overrules them all!  The Golden Rule.  But how does it measure up to scientific thought?

Be go controversial after Hunyar shares his thoughts on looking after a very old man here in Budapest.  I pose tough questions.  We hear about stamps.

Plus, two lovely women from Kazakhstan teach us a little of the mother tongue, describe your typical steppe, and discuss a new wave of politics in one of the biggest country's in the world.

And we don't even bring up Borat*

Local historian and gamer Robbie, a regular at the wonderful Kis Uzem bar in the 7th District of Budapest, steps in and poses very delicious questions, based on medieval history, about the way viruses shape, and perhaps manipulate, society.  An example of history having power over current events.

For my first official podcast from Kis Uzem Budapest, I sit down with resident gamer/historian/all-round distinguished gentleman Robbie to talk about how viruses affected medieval societies, before being joined by a rowdy group of young men who discuss East and West politics in Europe, followed by discussions about mixing races, nature killing old folks and what their value is to society in Corona days and lastly ending with a pair of girls from Kazakhstan who teach us the ways of the most misunderstood country in the world.  

Was a gas.
