Episode 2 - Abgekocht & fas(s)t gewonnen (English Version)

In Episode 2, we jump right in – grateful, honest, and with a
healthy dose of self-irony


about our launch, the feedback, and the minor technical glitches
from Episode 1. And


then something happens that can only happen with
"Abgekocht": the community


chimes in. From Google Maps insights to train sightings to the
question of whether


Matthias was actually sitting in a different room.


We take it all in stride – and all with humor.


What you can expect in this episode:


We're discussing the initial reactions to our podcast and
can't help but laugh when we


realize how the algorithm seems to be running its own charade
with Matthias. Why


does he keep getting shown slightly risqué content? No idea – but
it's definitely


something to talk about.


The big barrel giveaway


A stack of animal species, a wooden barrel from Augustiner am
Platzl (thanks Oliver


Wendel!) and the attempt to guess the weight of a barrel –
that's all you need for the


first “Abgekocht” challenge.


LinkedIn – Observer Mode, Currencies & First Times


We're revisiting an open question from Episode 1: How
does LinkedIn really work?


What counts – followers or connections? Do companies now need all
their


employees to be mini-creators? And then Uli tells us about his
"first time" – at the


"Alles für den Gast" trade fair in Salzburg. A
conversation about relevance,


authenticity, and practical no-gos.


The Big Breakfast Topic


We're tackling a question that's surprisingly on
many people's minds: Does hotel


breakfast need a cultural shift – including in pricing?


Fan Club & Fancy Features


We've got the first fan club nominations and a call for
your input:


What fancy features have you experienced in hotel rooms?


From mirrored ceilings to "Call the Butcher" –
we're collecting the top 3 for the next


episode.


Finally





A short commercial break, a heartfelt farewell, and looking
forward to December.





Thank you for all your feedback, every message, and every idea.
Abgekocht is


growing – with you, and thanks to you.
