Summary

After watching "Greyhound", an incredibly good movie about antisubmarine warfare in WWII, I fell in love with the actual hero of the story. Not Tom Hanks, but the USS ¨Keeling¨ (call name ¨Greyhound¨), the Fletcher-class destroyer under Ernest Krause´s command, a delightful performance from Tom Hanks, who is becoming the Spencer Tracy of the XXI century. Given my current fascination with scale modelling, I got a set of Polish-made papercraft templates that will enable anybody with enough patience to build a 1:200 scale model of a Fletcher. More precisely, the US ¨Leutze¨ DD-481. This episode is also available as a blog post: https://mirkotc.wordpress.com/2021/09/13/the-great-fletcher-experiment/

Manche kündigen sich lange an, andere treffen einen völlig unerwartet – mitten aus dem Hinterhalt.In „Schiffbruch mit Jesus“ sprechen wir genau über diese Bruchstellen aus gefühlt „tausend Jahren“ Glaubensleben. Gemeinsam mit Gästen holen wir persönliche Schiffbrüche aus den dunklen, verstaubten Ecken unserer Erinnerung hervor – und schauen sie uns ehrlich an: staunend, stöhnend, lachend, kopfschüttelnd, manchmal auch mit Tränen in den Augen. Und wir fragen uns:Was sagen uns diese Erfahrungen heute? Und was könnten sie uns für morgen mitgeben?Können sie uns inspirieren? Uns warnen? Oder Antworten liefern auf Fragen, die lange offen geblieben sind?Die Schiffbruch-CrewModeriert von Mirko Sander.
