Decades From Home - A Podcast About Germany

Episode 204: Pony Express

Nov 9, 2024

It’s been an exciting week for all our hosts, Kat’s in Vienna, Simon has been messing around in his garden, and Nic, well he got himself a haircut. OK, maybe only Kat has had an exciting week, but wait till you hear about Simon’s exciting new topiary!

We’re not here for gardening tips though, so we kick off proceedings with the controversy surrounding Russian songstress Helene Fischer and her new album of Kinderlieder, which includes one rather offensive song in particular.

We also discuss the financial problems facing a number of German hospitals and why the first cut to the budget seems to be the catering, and we finish on the first Cannabis social club to start distributing legal weed in Germany.

For those of you looking to support Ukraine or the many refugees fleeing the conflict, please take a look at these different charities and consider donating if you can.
