Fire the confetti cannons, producer Simon’s back! We celebrate by demanding he gives us some gifts….well Nic does at least. After last week’s foray into the forests, we return to the wilds for a wolf related update, there's a follow up on the Berlin election, a discussion on the merits of the current climate protest movement, and we finish on the proposals to make English Germany’s 2nd language.
It’s been three weeks since producer Simon went on holiday and Dili & Nic are really missing him. In order to cheer themselves up, your hosts discuss which superpowers would be most useful for living in Germany, we take a look at the German love of bottled water, a portal to document anti-feminist incidents across Germany, and a Grimm’s Fairy Tale come to life.
Simon has been buying fish, but much to Nic’s surprise he doesn’t plan on eating them with some chips. We celebrate the birthday of one of the most famous spies in history as we discuss the life of Mata Hari and her exploits spying for Germany during WWI. Due to Nic’s life getting in the way, we’re bringing you some of our favourite segments from previous shows as we go back to episode 20 to hear our discussion on the increase in the wolf population of Germany, we then jump to episode 25’s discussion on Nic’s obsession with British pork pies and finally we finish on the question of whether David Hasselhoff was really the reason that the Berlin wall fell.
On the show this week, Simons and Nic discuss moving house as Simon settles into his new home. We discuss the reintroduction of wolves and other wild animals to Germany and ask what you should do if you discover a wolf wandering down your street. We talk Oktoberfest 2021, cancelled in Germany, but Simon introduces an alternative in Dubai of all places. The arrival of May gives Nic a chance to talk Maypoles and finally, Simon tries to make Nic uncomfortable with a story about finding sex toys in a tree and why a recent discovery in a German forest sparked a bomb scare.
