Feuer & Brot
Alice and Maxi have been best friends since year 5, sharing a unique bond that turns their conversations into something special. One is a writer, the other a voice actor, and every two weeks, they meet up to chat about something that fascinates them—sometimes over a laid-back Zoom call, sometimes face to face in Berlin. The topics range from the latest social media trends to classic film tropes, masculinity, motherhood, and conspiracy theories. They mix humour, personal stories, and wry observations in an entertaining way, making every episode a fresh and engaging listen.
Inspired by the film Silent Men, Alice and Maxi ask: Who is responsible for emotional care—and how can we protect men while also protecting ourselves from them?
