Episode 77: Jubilee, Jubli-don't

Nic Houghton

It’s only the bloody Queen’s Platinum Jubilee! Granted Nic is a republican and Simon is monarchy agnostic, but surely a parade of pensioners on mobility scooters will liven up proceedings. We talk all things jubilee, ask what the hell is the point, and even find some time to talk about the perfect celebratory lunch (hint: it includes a trifle). We also find time to discuss the top 9 Brexit benefits, recent technological problems with credit cards in Germany, and we finish with a sneaky Boris Becker update.

Rejoice you lovers of kebabs, Simon’s getting a new kebab shop at the end of his street! While he plans for a future smothered in chili and garlic sauce, Nic wonders why takeaways are so rubbish in his area, Olaf Scholz surprises the world by wearing a slightly baggy jumper, we take a break from the comings and goings of German politics and lament the dumpster fire that is the British government and we finish by looking at the curious case of chickens in high-vis vests.

Decades From Home - Episode 46

Nic Houghton

After a barrage of ridiculous headlines from our former home, we finally crack and decide talk about what the hell is going on in Britain. Is Germany really more sane or does it just feel like that by comparison? We discuss why Germans might want to avoid a beach holiday in Britain for the foreseeable future, why British government communication feels dystopian and a new initiative to solve the truck driver shortage.
