Before we recorded FOWL 8, we had a small discussion on Web 2.0 and if it deserves its name or if it's just a buzzword. This is the first in a series of non-language discussions. Without telling Chris, I've gone ahead and named it "GOT" or "Getting Off Topic". Come get it.
Tell us what you think! We want feedback, we neeeeeed feedback!

- record some audio feedback and email it...
Chris: Here is the new show - enjoy! Notes below, courtesy of Simran.
This week we stray away from language and decide, that it's totally cool, that we do so - better than scrapping FOWL anyway. We just want to chat about stuff other than language sometimes and don't want to set up yet another podcast... (any objections? they're welcome too btw)
The song this week is by a jazz, Swiss band that Chris (knows personally? and) is g...
Dialects and diglossia.
Debate in Switzerland as trigger / PISA. PISA Polizei Podcast (German).
New word(s?) of the week: Nerd Valhalla.
The Queen's English, a.k.a. Received Pronounciation (thanks Joel!).
Next week's topic is slang and two friends of mine might come on the show (Bhavna and Clive).

This week we talk about humour, how it's universal and how it's different.
Stereotypes, French humour (how the French didn't have a word for humour till the 1930s) and how we love British humour and the TV series, Black Adder. Also, a few jokes, a poem and a new word coined.
Here are the links we promised:

Here we go again! In this show, we're unfortunately back to two producers. Good luck to Torsten for his thesis, which has to take priority over a podcast, of course.For some factual information about Switzerland, check the CIA World Factsbook. But maybe, you're into ...
Torsten Kathke joins us as a third show-host and we discuss:
What the $§%&# is a Rechtschreibreform? We take a trip to the history of German spelling. Plus: Mark Twain makes an appearance and complains about the awful German language.
PS: This is our first episode with three people so please bear with a few more hiccups.

We made it to our second episode! Hopefully we get the snyc problems right this time around.
You gotta give us some credit though, eh, this is Switzerland to India - we're continents apart!
In this episode we cover India, Hindi and more stuff about and India.
We also play a cool song by "Donnie Davito" - not Danny! It's called Das Leben des Ph...
FOWL, once more, is an acronym for "Fun Of & With Language".
Our podcast is and going to be about Hindi, German and English - in English.
Chris, from Switzerland is interested in Indian culture, Hindi and podcasting.
Simran is a German language student from India interested in Swiss-German and more.
We both hope that we can learn a bit or tw...
