Ep 74: World Cup Chat – Part 2

Posted by Donny on Aug 29, 2010 in Episodes | 0 comments

Bookbabble Episode 74: World Cup Chat – Part 2
Recorded 21 June  2010
Babblers: Marcel, Bjorn, Donny

Synopsis:

This is one of the strangest, most languid chit-chat in Bookbabble’s short history.  This episode drops you right in the middle of a football match watched by the boys in three different countries – simultaneously.  And still somehow manage to talk about horror movies, private parts and racism.  Oh, and football related books and movies too.  (Yeah, it would have been better if this episode came out, oh, about 2 months sooner, but hey, at least you get to see how well we did our predictions).

Be warned, this is a rambling, totally unedited show.
