Sadly Dili is out sick this week, so we once again call upon the sonorous tones of Producer Simon to step up to the mic and join Nic for a discussion on apocalyptic weather. Nic explains why the best cheese is found at the top of mountains, World Cup success for one Germany team, and why success & failure are basically the same in Germany.
After a week off, Dili is back in the co-host hot seat, and comes equipped with questions about Nic’s adventures on St Patrick’s Day. We tackle the thorny issue of Wahlrechtsreform after the German government voted to change the current election system, and we finish on the announcement that one of Germany’s largest department store groups is planning to close stores across the country.
With festivities coming to an end, we talk about leisure drinking during Christmas, New Year’s cocktails and accidental impoliteness. Simon discusses the importance of winning video games against relatives and Nic reflects on his cheese and stollen fuelled nightmares. We chat about plans for New Year’s Eve, fireworks bans, and New Year’s Resolutions. Finally, we finish the first pod of 2022 with a previously unheard conversation taken from our chat with Dr. Sandra Jansen, way back in episode 44.
It’s Christmas Day and we bring you tidings of beer world cups and how to celebrate Christmas when half your family are German and the other British. Is Christmas the 24th, the 25th or both? Can anyone celebrate back to back Christmases and hope to survive? We delve deeply into the importance of food to British festivities and why the typical Weihnachtsmenü can often leave a lot to be desired. We finish the celebrations with an important experiment as we answer one of the most challenging questions known to humanity: which cheese goes best with a nice piece of Stollen?
