Episode 187: Academic Anarchy

We’re shaking things up this week as Dili takes the reigns for the first time, with her first act as Queen of the podcast being to punish Nic for his many cake based transgressions on last week’s show. To support the new regime, we’ve invited linguist and former academic Sandra Jansen to the pod! Sandra leads seminars and helps support others who wish to leave German academia, and she takes us through the many troubles of Germany’s university system.

We also manage to stuff a little bit of football into an already packed schedule, as Nic & Producer Simon give an update on Euro 2024, and we learn the surprising reason why Dili now seems to like watching Germany’s favourite sport.

For those of you looking to support Ukraine or the many refugees currently fleeing the conflict, please take a look at these different charities and consider donating if you can.
