Babbel-Net Podcast #136 (formerly known as Folge #131): Und wieder scheinen Äonen und Myriaden seit unserer letzten Folge vergangen. Doch nach langem Umherirren im Wahnsinn der Podcasthölle scheinen die Sterne jetzt richtig zu stehen, um uns in andere Welten zu wagen. Wir erforschen die Mysterien der Tiefsee, des Weltalls und ganz anderer Dimensionen in fernen Galaxien. In dieser zweiten offiziellen Episode des Jahres 2016, die eigentlich als Folge #131 kurz vor Weihnachten den Weg zu euch finden sollte, vollenden wir nun ein scheinbar verfluchtes Werk, an dem wir schon seit gut einem Jahr arbeiten. Unser Trio Dennis, Paul und Dennis B. setzt sich mit dem Schaffenswerk des US-Autoren H.P. Lovecraft auseinander und durchwandert dabei, wie gewohnt, die altbekannten Kategorien Film & TV, Games, Musik, sowie Comics und Bücher. Zwischenzeitlich nehmen die drei euch sogar mit auf einen kleinen Ausflug, um einen Verwandten von Dennis B. in seinem neuen... Domizil zu besuchen, in dem nicht by Babbel-Net - Podcast
