Wow -I absolutely love your podcast so far! Wirklich gut! I'm a 27yo American, but I got a taste of Germany in October of 2018, and I'll be visiting again for an extended period in a few weeks (ridiculously excited). So; I was I curious if I could continue to learn about German history and culture before I spend more time there -and I'm so glad I found your podcast! 😃 It's wonderfully friendly; it reminds me of all the conversations I had with locals there; and it's informative and genuinely nice to listen to. Keep it up!! Vielen dank!
