Break out the beach towels and reserve the best spot as we attempt to untangle the Anglos from the Saxons, the Boche from the Britishers and the Tommies from the Jerries.
Historian Katja Hoyer is a German living in England. Journalist Oliver Moody is a Brit living in Berlin.
Between them they plan to discuss the past and present of Anglo-German relations.
Why have German chancellors and British Prime Ministers so rarely got along? Why are the Germans obsessed with British comedy? And what have the Romans ever done for Britannia and Germania?
No stereotype too embarrassing, no war left unmentioned, as the German in England and the Engländer in Deutschland do their bit for post-Brexit freundship.

Being neither British nor German but loving and living both cultures, I can only say: we, Poles, seem to be thy missing link between the two 😂 A tad more direct than Brits but less blunt than Germans, we have English sense of humour but wish we could in fact be as respectfully solemn as our direct Western neighbours because that seems to take them a bit further than our tendency to laugh. Great podcast, guys!
