Decades From Home - A Podcast About Germany Episode 182: Großes Tor
This week on the podcast, we're joined by guest co-host and Berlin tour guide extraordinaire Jonny Whitlam. With Euro 2024 on the horizon, Berlin is abuzz with preparations for the influx of football fans. From the excitement of a newly constructed fan zone to the appearance of pop-up Adidas stores, the city is fully embracing football fever.
In addition to the football excitement, we delve into a contentious poll by TV channel ARD that has sparked accusations of racism from the German national team.
Shifting away from the sporting world, we also address the significant flooding in southern Germany, highlighting the direct impact of climate change on communities. Despite these evident consequences, the issue of climate change is still being neglected by many.
For those of you looking to support Ukraine or the many refugees currently fleeing the conflict, please take a look at these different charities and consider donating if you can.
