Folge vom 10.06.2012HolidayFor everyone who's on one or who wants to go on one - we're on a tour around various locales and taking in the sights. There's a musical journey in Europe with a virtually organised group, there's an exotic island - of course - and we discover what it means to take a dream holiday in someone else's nightmare. There's even a story about not wanting to go away at all - Let's Go Home, by Natalie Kestecher. Plus there's August in New York - it's when all the psychiatrists head out of town for their summer vacation and when the patients are left to their own devices. Who knows what could happen.
