#231 The Austrian accent gets you laid abroad w/ Nychos

Nychos is one of the most internationally recognised street artists to come out of Austria - specifically Styria - with his enormous anatomical murals appearing on walls around the world. In this episode, Jake and Nychos go well beyond street art. They talk about living abroad, how leaving Austria changes the way you see Austrian culture, and that strange in-between feeling of still being Austrian while building a life somewhere else. There’s also an important discovery: apparently, the Austrian accent can get you laid abroad. From there, things spiral beautifully into Austrian humour, identity, emotional weirdness, cultural habits and why German spoken with an American accent sounds completely ridiculous. They get into: + Growing up in Styria and becoming a globally known street artist + Being Austrian while living abroad + Seeing Austria differently once you leave + The international appeal of the Austrian accent + Austrian humour, identity and emotional baggage + Why leaving home can make you understand it better + German spoken with an American accent + Casually psychoanalysing Austrians as a people It’s a monster of an episode, but one worth sticking with until the end.
