Bavarian Podcast Works S8E4: Some BFW updates; Bayern Munich has a familiar face in camp and loaned out another youngster; Is Bayern making the right personnel decisions?; and MORE!

Hosted by Chuck SmithThe German national team destroyed Bosnia and Herzegovina 7-0 in a match that was just an all-out, thorough domination by the Germans from start to finish.Jamal Musiala’s early goal set the tone for the match, which was as good as the team has looked under Julian Nagelsmann. Somehow — even in a terrific performance — Musiala did not end the game as Germany most impactful player (which tells you just how good Florian Wirtz was).Needless to say, there was a ton to talk about. Here is what we have on tap for the Bavarian Podcast Works — Postgame Show:A look at the starting XI.A rundown of the scoring and substitutions.Wirtz and Musiala are incredible.Is the backline ready for a primetime showdown with a European power?Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Hosted by Chuck SmithLet’s get this out of the way — this is not a Bayern Munich podcast (for this edition only), so we want to give you a fair warning for anyone seeking Bayern Munich or German national team chatter. However, this “special edition” will not affect your normal schedule...a Weekend Warm-up Show has already dropped at its normal day and time!So...let’s talk about how this came to be...After the disappointing second season of House of the Dragon, we had a lot of chatter about Game of Thrones, its legacy as a show, the possibilities for it going forward, etc. From that, an idea was sparked for re-watching the show and assessing if we were all vindicated for feeling so bitter about the ending...or if maybe time had healed some old wounds.We will explore all of that and more. There are a lot of fun categories we take a look at...the good, the bad, and everything in between.With Bayern Munich on a hiatus, there was no better time to do this and have all of our minds take a little break from what has been a crazy few weeks for the Bavarians.So, enjoy this if you are into it...or don’t listen if you are not...just be rest assured, we will be turning back to our normal coverage ASAP!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
