    We travel to Germany to trace techno's history from Detroit to Berlin. The story of how, after the Wall fell, Berlin exorcised its brutal past with a very strange, decade-long party. A mission that takes us all the way to the gates of Berghain.

    Why didn’t Chris and Dan get into Berghain? (Part 1)

    Why didn’t Chris and Dan get into Berghain? (Part 1)

    Two Americans embark on a quest: fly across an ocean to try to get into the most exclusive nightclub in the world – Berghain. A German techno palace where the line outside can last 8 hours, and the bouncers are merciless in their judgments. The club does not explain how it makes its decisions about who can enter, but one foolish podcaster will try to explain anyway.

This is why podcasts were invented.

PJ is a natural born host, but the show’s greatest asset is that it seeks out experts to generate truly unique and thoughtful content.
