whO in the hel
The cheekiest cultural podcast Gdańsk didn’t ask for — but might secretly enjoy.
We’re outsiders with front-row seats to the everyday magic of Poland — navigating pierogi politics, linguistic acrobatics, and the unspoken art of queueing.
We talk to locals, check our facts (sometimes twice), and try to decode what makes this place tick. It’s not journalism. It’s cultural anthropology with punchlines.
That’s the show. We share our own stories, and mix curiosity with sarcasm until something vaguely intelligent bubbles up.
A Closer Look: The Dynamic Duo
Mannix (The Irishman)
Co-Host
In the green corner…
Standing tall at well over two meters of pure Irish determination — the man, the myth, the intellect! A 50-something heavyweight of wisdom with a bookshelf for a brain and the body of a retired rugby legend!
He’s a linguist, a music aficionado, a husband to a stunning Polish blonde, and the proud father of two. Currently on a mission to shed 35 kilos — armed with nothing but willpower, Pilates, and a dangerously disciplined diet — give it up for…
“The Celtic Philosopher of Gdańsk”… Maaaanix the Mighty!
Carlo (The Latin Lover)
Co-Host
And in the blue corner…
Standing well under two meters — but towering in confidence — the midlife-crisis-in-progress, the maestro of flavor and funk! A movie buff and music junkie! He’s got an eye for photography and a foot for the dance floor. Once heavy, now lean — and on a mission to get shredded!
Hailing from the sun-soaked land of Mexico, married to a gorgeous Polish woman, father of two and proud cultivator of a small but mighty garden of Mexican chiles — put your hands together for…
“The Dancing Diplomat of Gdańsk“… Carrrrloooo “El Capybara”!
WHAT’S THE POINT?
To make sense of Gdańsk’s quirks and character — one baffling moment, inside joke, and local staple at a time.
Podcasts
Two foreigners. One city. Infinite opportunities to get things slightly wrong. Each episode, Mannix and Carlo explore life, culture, and quirks in Gdańsk — from local legends to language fails — all with a sense of humor and genuine curiosity. It’s smart conversation with a side of self-deprecation.
Reviews + Sponsors
We’re on a mission to taste, sip, and stumble our way through Gdańsk — respectfully, of course. From cafés and craft beer bars to hidden museums and must-try pierogi spots, we review the places that make this city worth exploring. Think honest opinions, genuine curiosity, and just enough sarcasm to keep it interesting.
Events
Whether it’s a local festival, a new café opening, or a brand doing something cool, we’re here to help tell your story — our way. We create genuine, entertaining event coverage that connect with real people (because we are real people — just slightly confused foreigners with microphones).
