Did you ever wonder what dish would pair well with music by Eros Ramazzotti (probably spaghetti carbonara) or which song fits best to your favorite meal? No? Well, these two young and pretentious guys, Calvin and Lennart, just somehow did. And started a podcast pairing food and music, while making bad jokes and discussing today's pop culture.

Ep. 14: (A)city Music

July 05, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 56.8 MB

It has been a long time. Didn't these guys have a schedule? What's their deal? But we are kinda glad that they are there. Crazy times call for crazy podcasts. In this episode Calvin and Lenni talk about the issue of the category "Urban" music and why "City" music just does not make any sense. Like at all. But sounds great.  Additionally, we discuss what we do with leftovers like e.g. the 'fried rice'-principle or preservation. Also, during our food and music-pairing, we get very close with o...

Ep. 13: Quanteen

April 27, 2020 21:00 - 1 hour - 51.5 MB

We are calling each other in these weird times so that Calvin can tell all about his hydration projects and Lenni can develop a new conspiracy theory around cheese. The guys make strong statements and give sometimes stupid tips in regard to online live concerts and coordinating all these little instruments.

Ep. 12: Ming Ling, 32, (Home) Chef

March 29, 2020 20:00 - 1 hour - 48.3 MB

The guys are talking about whitewashing food and Calvin explains how authenticity that's only based on heritage can be a weird concept sometimes. There's not much talk about this virus situation, but there is some food for thought for home-cooking projects instead and at one point some watermelons get sliced in the air - or just in Lennart's head.

Ep. 11: Soupervillain

February 20, 2020 23:00 - 1 hour - 51.7 MB

In this episode we are discussing the bad side of hacking food and maybe crack the code to healthy living. Calvin underlines the fact that Bleach should not be involved in the cooking process and explains James Bond theme songs. And Lennart actually manages to sum up a sentence with 'et voilá! That's life!  And a big warning, we unfortunately hum so many melodies that this might leave you with songs stuck in your head. Buzzfeedy content sites might get insulted here.

Ep. 10: Thunburger, very Greta!

February 02, 2020 21:00 - 1 hour - 48 MB

The boys are having a second go on the topic of hacking food and establish that white chocolate, shallots and olives are not a good combination (Lennart almost throws up). They define a new plural for thesis and Lennart cannot hide his sarcastic reaction (while also saying "exactly" a lot) for Calvin's choice of very short and, thus, pressuring songs. Disclaimer: Romanians and Greta-haters might get insulted in this episode.

Ep. 9: Hacking Food

January 22, 2020 00:00 - 1 hour - 44.9 MB

The guys are smoothly flowing through this sweet episode in the middle of a construction site. Calvin wants to talk about hacking food and Lennart turns out to be illogically stubborn on his purist views and justifies it with a connection to his hunting ancestors. And while Calvin struggles with French pronunciation, sticky whinegum is possibly responsible for Lennart's sweet mood.

Ep. 8: That's a wrap!

December 29, 2019 01:00 - 1 hour - 61 MB

This is a name-dropping episode, because we are looking at our Spotify Wrapped report for 2019, talk about the struggles of starting a podcast and make goals for 2020. Calvin tells about his musical development and the alcohol-consumption during the past days clearly hit Lennart's language center more than usual. Also, we might have a small surprise for our follower's <3.

Ep. 7: Bits, Bytes & Beats

December 15, 2019 23:00 - 1 hour - 43.3 MB

In this very late but controversial episode we talk about if AI will replace human art and Lennart is clearly struggling with finding the right words to describe his concerns, while Calvin is already looking forward to the next big robot band. He also decides to pick a really difficult song for pairing and enjoys Lennart's complaints, who suddenly has to leave.

Ep. 6: Eye Candy

November 17, 2019 22:00 - 1 hour - 48 MB

We are listing our favorite Youtube food shows, Calvin reveals who got him into experimenting and shares a business idea. As his legal advisor Lennart tells him not to, sings a bit too much and sounds like a douche when he repeatedly uses the word "bro". 

Ep. 5: HOT Cuisine

November 03, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 45.5 MB

Equivalent to the recently released hot mess of a gospel album, the unquestionably, undoubtedly, greatest music and food pairing podcast is releasing a week later. During the episode that doesn't tell you what to do, Calvin talks about the opportunities of koji - even for the zero waste movement. At some point Lennart talks about anime highschool girls with food orgasms and how he has to perfectly time his date playlist.

Ep. 4: Better Lat than Never

October 13, 2019 21:00 - 1 hour - 45.9 MB

The boys are sick and still we found the creative energy to compose a three dish course during this Sweden special. There are some melancholic vibes as we get to our Swedish food ranking, we realize Synesthesia might be a game where you can level up and Lennart inappropriately mixes up hillbillies with rockabillies. What a wild episode.

Ep. 3: Round Notes

October 09, 2019 17:00 - 1 hour - 52.3 MB

This is not a short one (that's on Lennart) and it still has sound quality issues (Calvin refuses to use a pop filter). Cal eventually lets out the inner fanboy and finally discusses an album he fully likes. We discover who might has synesthesia (it's not us) and Lennart brags inappropriately often with low Japanese language skills at the end.

Ep. 2: Summer Boogaloo

September 27, 2019 07:00 - 1 hour - 59.6 MB

In the first real episode the audio quality gets worse and worse - if that's even possible. We start with a lot a self-doubt and then somehow discuss cultural appropriation while probably being inappropriate. Calvin discovers why we sometimes might not like food although it tastes great and Lennart is talking about how he secretly wants to be as cool as a 17 year old.

Who the Heck Are We to Actually Do This? (Testisode)

September 19, 2019 15:00 - 1 hour - 42 MB

It's the first episode - or testisode - and it is chaos. Your new favorite hosts explain themselves. With (pretentious) attitude. Calvin conceptualizes sweet-sour pork made of chicken and Lennart discovers that he might suffer from food fetishism while starting a lot of sentences he doesn't finish.
