  • Ein Podcast voller Liebesübungen

    Most of the time, you stumble into a podcast, give it a try and forget about it soon. Not with this one. As a german native, I can relate to almost any topic that is discussed and I actually learn quite a lot about my own country and our mentality compared to others. Glad I found you guys. Keep up the good work!

  • Part of my weekly ritual

    The podacast comes out on Saturdays, which usually makes it a perfect accompaniment for my Saturday evening cooking. There are some serious topics and others are far more light-hearted.

  • Great year of podcasting

    This is a great fun to listen podcast with Nic, Dili and producer Simon, it cheers up the weekend, makes me laugh, but also has a serious side. I love the podcasts that tackle the politics and what is going on in Germany. Great to also have guests along to the podcasts throughout the year. They really range far and wide about all things German and living there. It's a great show. Looking forward to 2024 and my weekend fix.
