In the best Ballermann mood, the game veterans welcome you to a new off-topic episode, in which there are important tips for surviving in Italian traffic and reports on music-cultural lows and highs. Before venturing into the off-topic departments, they start with fresh news, current game reports and a portion of mail from the listeners. In the second half of the episode, for example, they discover hot Motown oldies, browse through a musical novel, study an SF classic, experience Asia after midnight and marvel at the brainlessness of a new 200 million spectacle.

Episode 31-2022 (#279) of the game veteran podcast with Heinrich Lenhardt and Jörg Langer has a running time of 1:38:59 hours.
