Episode 117: The Return of Stern 40% German

On the show this week

Fire the confetti cannons, producer Simon’s back in the booth after three weeks away! We celebrate the returning hero in the traditional fashion, by demanding he give us some gifts from his travels….well Nic does at least. For her part, Dili has more decorum, unless of course we’re talking about biscuits.

After last week’s foray into wolf filled forests, we return to the wilds for a wolf related update concerning a pet attack in Ostsachsen. We also follow up on the Berlin election and wonder why it is that the capital of Germany won’t see a government in place until the end of April.

A protest by climate activists Letzten Generation over the weekend leads to condemnation across the political spectrum, and leads us to a discussion on the merits of the current protest movement, and whether the outrage is justified. We finish the show with a chat on the proposal to make English Germany’s official second language.
