KRAWALL IN MIR - eine kongenial-desaströse Reise zum Mittelpunkt von Roman Shamov. Krieg, Drogen, Sex, friedvolle Hintergrundmusik und philosophische Erschütterungen durchziehen diesen Podcast wie Erdbeeren das Erdbeerjoghurt, manchmal lecker, manchmal erschreckend sauer, oder süß und manchmal aber auch einfach nur zum heulen schön. Immer aber im Gedächtnis bleibend.

Als leichte, unterhaltende Satire gedacht, erscheint uns, der Leserschaft von heute, die die Folgen des Holocaust immer mit sich trägt, die darin beschriebene Geschichte alles andere als lustig.
