Radio-On-Historic #18 – Gangs, Bombs & Sinatra – Jason Honea & Rinus Van Alebeek

In December 2025, an explosion shattered the quiet of Kreuzberg – our radio-on neighborhood. A hand grenade was thrown into a nightclub in the middle of the night. Luckily no-one hurt. More questions than answers!

Jason Honea, our radio-on reporter in the field begins a podcast series exploring ‘bombings in Berlin’. In this second episode, we dig into the hand-grenade attack — what happened, why it might have happened, and who could be behind it.

We examine possible links to gang activity, terrorism, and the police response, and try to understand what this means for the safety and future of Berlin.
