From the pride of MA48’s working-class heroes to the vision behind Vienna’s social housing, he shows how thoughtful planning creates diverse, connected neighbourhoods. He also reflects on religion, recognising both its conservatism and its enduring role in shaping values, charity and community.

    31. The districts of Vienna - 7th district, Neubau

    In this episode, we explore Vienna’s 7th district, Neubau, together with Maggie Childs. Neubau is known as Vienna’s hip and creative quarter – often described as a “bobo district” (bourgeois bohemian) full of energy, diversity, and cultural flair.   The area is home to Mariahilferstraße, Austria’s longest shopping street, offering endless retail opportunities. But shopping in Neubau goes far beyond the mainstream: you’ll find vintage shops, tailors, designers, concept stores, pop-ups, craftmanship shops, and stylish cafés, alongside countless galleries and gallery openings. With its vibrant mix of artists, professionals, and international residents, the district has the vibe of a 20–25-year-old at heart – young, dynamic, and forward-looking.   Maggies hotspots in the 7th:  Glacis Beisl (entrance via Breite Gasse 4), her go-to restaurant. https://glacisbeisl.at/Less is More (Kirchengasse 22), her favorite hair salon.Kirchengasse, Siebensterngasse, and Siebensternplatz, all lively and unique spots worth exploring.Rinkhy (Zieglergasse 29), her regular hangout – diverse, funky, and full of character. https://www.rinkhy.com/  For Maggie, Neubau is truly the heart of Vienna’s concrete jungle – a cool, creative district that millennials especially love to call home.

    28. The districts of Vienna - 4th district, Wieden

    Get to know the 4th district in this episode with Eugene. After our Neighbourhood Tour through the 4th district, where Eugene took us to the roof terrace of the Technical University and we had a fantastic view over Vienna, I sit with him in our recording studio, and we reviewed the tour.  He doesn't just talk about Karlsplatz, the Freihaus neighborhood or the Naschmarkt, no, he also tells us how Vienna SMELLS and we also go in search of the drug scene in Vienna - okay, without success :( He also introduces us to the VOLLPENSION, a coffee house with a ‘lazy & easy atmosphere’, where pensioners bake cakes and tarts according to grandmother's recipe. He recommends trying the very famous SACHER TORTE at Demel and not at Sacher, he recommends the Falter as a weekly newspaper and event calendar and is an enthusiastic FM4 and OE1 listener. He also recommends a visit to Schwindgasse in the 4th district.  Enjoy this episode!
