Decades From Home - A Podcast About Germany Episode 146: Bis Balding
After months of fruit based chat, Nic finally takes Dili to task on her fruit obsession. Perhaps talking about kiwi and peaches makes sense, as it does prevent Nic from worrying about bald men driving Porsches. Dili explains how to punish unruly schoolchildren, and we ask the most important question facing educators: does a leather jacket and motorbike equal cool or midlife crisis?
A Saturday trip to Augsburg leads to a surprise confrontation with a controversial Bavarian politician, and we ponder whether booing political speeches is the moral thing to do. We also discuss the surprise defeat of the AfD in a mayoral election.
As Oktoberfest rumbles on, we discuss Harry Kane’s fantastic set of Lederhosen, whether it’s time Nic bought a pair himself, and whether Dili fancies getting herself a Dirndl.
We finish things off with some exciting news about a record-breaking castle.
