    About this Episode

    We sip locally sourced LSM Mystika Wermut and discuss a trip to the hospital ER in beautiful Leipzig.

    On this episode, we are drinking LSM Mystika Wermut - For this aperitif, LSM combines sparkling silvaner grapes with aromatic traminer grapes from their winemaking friends Bohme & Daughter from the Saale-Unstrut wine-growing region, refined with herb-flowery potent vermouth, mugwort and citrus fruit as well as herbs. The product is a harmoniously complex vermouth wine with fresh fruit finish!

    The Leipziger Spirituosen Manufaktur, a young Leipzig company, stands for uncompromising quality, sustainable raw materials and artisan art. All their products are hand-crafted with the aim of sourcing all raw materials from sustainable and regional sources - out of conviction. Sophisticated production methods and great attention to detail make their spirits a special taste experience, developed and produced from a combination of passion and science.
    Matthew has an Immersive ER Experience - Following a rainy morning bike accident, Matthew made his first visit to a German hospital and received a taste of what the Healthcare system in Leipzig has to offer. Together, they discuss the differences between health insurance and actual healthcare in the USA versus Europe and the difficulties and adventures in accessing facilities as an immigrant.

    EP 72 - Peter Seaton-Clark in "Uncharted" Waters

    Friend of the show, fellow Leipziger, and international actor Peter Seaton-Clark sits with Matthew and Justin for shots and to discuss his recent appearance in the newly released blockbuster film, Uncharted!

    Peter Seaton-Clark is a British stage and screen actor who is also a naturalized German citizen. Born in Barnstaple, England, he started his acting career on stage at the world famous Leeds City Varieties in 1994. Other regional theatre engagements were followed by a stint on local TV as a presenter. Moving to Europe he took on more voice work and became a founding member of an English speaking theatre company in Eastern Germany. He is known for Uncharted (dir. Ruben Fleischer), the award winning short film Swiped, in which he starred and produced, as well as Gute Zeiten Schlechte Zeiten, Germany's #1 soap and the Russian film Chempion Mira. His upcoming TV projects include JFK's Love for Europe and The Net and Diversant IV - another Russian production.

    Uncharted is a 2022 American action-adventure film directed by Ruben Fleischer from a screenplay by Rafe Lee Judkins, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. Based on Naughty Dog's video game series of the same name, the film serves as a prequel to the games. It stars Tom Holland as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as his mentor Victor Sullivan, with Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle, and Antonio Banderas in supporting roles. In the film, Drake is recruited by Sullivan in a race against Santiago Moncada (Banderas) and Jo Braddock (Gabrielle) to locate the treasure of the Magellan expedition.

    Antar Keith is an educator, activist, presenter and public speaker currently traveling around Germany lecturing on systemic racism and police violence in America. He joins us as the United States takes to the polls. 

    Visit antarkeith.wordpress.com

    I'll Take A Shot At That stands in solidarity with the ongoing protests against police brutality in the US, Germany, and everywhere. Here are more resources that I strongly encourage everyone to engage with:

    • Here is a massive list of resources regarding racism & anti-blackness & How to be a Better Ally: ANTI-RACIST ALLYSHIP STARTER PACK

    • Here in the Independent is a great article containing information on how to support the movement if you are unable to protest, including links to places you can volunteer, donate, amplify and more: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/black-lives-matter-protest-support-george-floyd-donate-petition-a9542576.html

    • This video project was created to offer people a way to donate to #blacklivesmatter without having any actual money or going out to protest themselves: https://youtu.be/bCgLa25fDHM
