On the show this week:

We are joined by two very special guests this week, Marty and Marcy, who join Nic for a special Pride episode to discuss their experiences of life in Germany. We talk about culture bubbles, the price of Vegemite, and the glory of American convenience food.

After a weekend of terrible news from the US, wevdiscuss the loss of established freedoms, and the threats to LGBTQ rights. We turn to Germany and question the perception of our adopted home as a bastion of liberalism, and whether there is a big difference between the north and south of the country.

Our guests share their experiences of moving to Germany, civil partnerships, and why a translator can be the best of guests when tying the knot. Finally, Marty teaches Nic some useful German terminology, while Marcy explains what it’s like to go to Christopher Street Day.
