Zeitgeist: If they don't respond in 20 minutes, they're missing
<p dir="ltr">It's time for another Zeitgeist episode: a grab bag of Vienna, history, and whatever else managed to distract us this week. We start with an update on everyone's favorite controversial statue: Sexy Karl. After his dramatic encounter with vandals, we ask the important historical questions llike whether the ancient Egyptians had the right idea by completely erasing their least favorite pharaoh from history.</p> <p dir="ltr">Then we return to the ongoing saga of the Nuns of Goldenstein and catch up on the latest twists and turns since our original episode. Along the way, we decide that if someone doesn't respond to a message within 20 minutes, they should probably be reported missing.</p> <p dir="ltr">Finally, we turn our highly qualified and deeply researched attention toward Eurovision and the World Cup, proving once again that confidence is not the same thing as expertise.</p> <p dir="ltr">For more, check us out on social media at viennapastandpresent (viennapastandpres on Instagram) or at viennapastandpresent.com.

Red Vienna (Part 2): Millimetternich Strikes Back
<p dir="ltr">In the second part of our Red Vienna series, the grand experiment collides with political reality. We follow the rise of Engelbert Dollfuß, the emergence of Austrofascism, and the escalating tensions that culminated in the Austrian Civil War of 1934. Along the way, Karl-Marx-Hof goes from model housing project to battlefield, and Vienna's socialist dream comes to a dramatic end.</p> <p dir="ltr">Of course, we can't leave Red Vienna behind without reflecting on its lasting legacy, debating proper laundromat etiquette, and agreeing that "Millimetternich" might be one of the greatest political nicknames ever coined. Join us as we explore how a conflict that lasted only a few days helped shape Austria for decades to come.</p> <p dir="ltr">For more, check us out on social media at viennapastandpresent (viennapastandpres on Instagram) or at viennapastandpresent.com.

Red Vienna (Part 1): Socialism, but Make It Viennese
<p dir="ltr">What happens when a city decides to reinvent everyday life from the ground up? In this episode, we dive into Red Vienna—an ambitious socialist experiment that transformed the city in the 1920s with massive housing projects, public baths, and a bold vision of "luxury for everyone." From the monumental Karl-Marx-Hof to the world of communal laundries, we explore how Vienna tried to build a better society, one apartment block at a time. Along the way, we (once again) fulfill listener demand for more washbasin and washing machine facts -- because apparently that's what the people want. And just when things take a dramatic turn in 1933, we leave you with a cliffhanger… of a cliffhanger.</p> <p dir="ltr">For more, check us out on social media at viennapastandpresent (viennapastandpres on Instagra) or at viennapastandpresent.com.
