Episode 144: Hale to the Chief

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.

Episode 113: Withering Heights

A question on shopping opens a can of worms as we discuss our experiences of the fabled German customer service. With politeness on the mind, Nic ponders what he should do when confronted with impolite people. We turn our attention to the rapid arrival of Fasching, Germany’s fifth season, we discuss the merits of mountain climbing, and we finish with the announcement of Germany's Kulturpass.

Episode 65: Ski Chump

Simon is almost fully recovered from his brush with the Rona, but he crawls from his sick bed to join Nic for a discussion on surprise beard compliments and why the Germans aren’t as thirsty as the British for a pat on the back. After a week off, we collect our thoughts on the current crisis in Ukraine and we take some time to discuss the numerous changes occurring in German politics and society at large. Finally, Nic’s experience in the mountains has led him to wonder if German ski culture is the worst of all the sub-cultures.
