Episode 66: Torschlusspanik

Post-Rock Paper Scissors is a twice-a-week podcast about post-rock and all things tangentially related.

Today's show is the ninth episode of our untranslatable series. Our word today is "torschlusspanik", which literally translates to "gate-closing panic," but its contextual meaning refers to "the fear of diminishing opportunities as one ages."
