History of the Germans The Berliner - A Filling Episode
Unfortunately I have been felled by manflu a much belittled affliction. So no Agnes Bernauer and Bavarian dukes. That will be next week.
For now some completely random stories about the Berliner, aka Bismarck Doughnuts for our American friends, why and where and how - featuring Felix Mendelssohn, Richard Wagner, Frederick the Great and Cato the Elder and a guy who cuts the hearts out of one age-old culinary traditions...
The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.

To make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.
So far I have:
Salian Emperors and Investiture Controversy
Fredrick Barbarossa and Early Hohenstaufen
