Kundenrezensionen
Real hard talk
Mostly Seckur don’t let the people waffle which is really helpful to get the real impression of the guests
Better than anything we have in Germany
Thank you ever so much for your service to the public. As a German I am very enthusiastic about the way you pick your „guests“ brains and the way you do not let them get away with their prepared lines that they get away with everywhere else. Especially the non native speakers sometimes show their face behind the mask.
I hope you will be able to look behind the facades for a very long time to come.
