Episode 48: Reality Schmeality

On the show this week:

We’re joined by Marty, the honourable husband on Twitter, to talk positive experiences of German bureaucracy, Berlin’s creaking infrastructure and why Bavarian villages are being gentrified. We also take time to enjoy one of our favourite topics: German beer!

We have an update on the winner of Jugendwort des Jahres 2021 and Marty cringes at the amount of English being introduced into casual German communication. Is this the death knell of the German language, are the kids alright or are we just worried about nothing?

Given Nic’s love of Shopping Queen, we return to the topic of reality TV. Marty shares some of his favourite guilty pleasures, Simon learns more than he ever wanted about farmer dating shows and we look at the grim existence of Germany’s Next Top Model.
