The Bundesliga took this past weekend off - Talking Fussball didn't. Most of the action is over on our Patreon page, where you can get a slew of bonus material. This edition is a taster of some of the material you can get over there.

First up is an extract of Nik's interview with Marco Timmer, a Dutch journalist with lots to say about Mario Götze's move to PSV to work with Roger Schmidt. You can hear more from Timmer if you become a patron.

In the back half, you'll hear a portion of the newest Talking Fussball Extra, a show where we stretch out and go in depth on big issues facing the German game. Here Nik talks to DW's Felix Tamsut about some of the implications of the grand plan for German football's future set out by fan group Unsere Kurve. You can hear the whole episode if you become a patron for as little as $3 a month.
