Episode 47 sees Liam sit down with write and all-round top guy Tim Mohr.
 
Tim is the author of 'Burning Down the Haus' A book that exposes the secret history of punks in East Germany and how the dreaded secret police, the Stasi – targeted them and made there lives a living hell.
 
In this episode, you will hear Tim talk about the ordeal that these punks had to go through, like being beaten by the cops, imprisoned and sent to 'reform camps' just because of the music they listen to and how they looked.
 
You will also hear how the Lutheranism church supported the Punk Movement, and Tim will also explain how these punks that included members of Rammstein, fought back and played a role in the underground movement that helped bring down the Berlin Wall.
 
Away from Punk, I discover why an American wanted to go to East Germany in the 80's, and Tim relives going to a British pub for the first time and not knowing if he was going to get into a fight!
Below are a few links to some of the East German bands Tim talked about
