Decades From Home - A Podcast About Germany 40% German

In the latest episode, hosts Nic, Dili and Producer Simon discuss German swimming pools. Venturing beyond the chlorine-scented chat, they also delve into Dili's upbringing in Sri Lanka. We explore potential strategies to fix the German economy, and contrast their ideas with the 12 point plan of junior coalition partners the FDP, and we finish on Dili's mix & match approach to church going.

This week, Nic bravely airs his grievances against asparagus and men in shorts, inadvertently sparking a feud with Producer Simon, a proud member of the shorts-wearing community. Dili gracefully steers the episode back on track by sharing heartwarming listener feedback, and we finish with the unexpected TikTok debut of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

In this week’s episode, Nic shares his ordeal of dealing with back pain after engaging in a traditional wood-chopping session with his German family, Dili opens up about the bittersweet reality of celebrating birthdays separated from loved ones, and your trio of hosts delve into the phenomenon of Germany's far-right party, the AfD, making waves on TikTok.

This week we’re joined by the one of our favourite people, and founder of the popular Twitter account @germany_iam, the lovely Kat for a discussion of Easter video games, the high cost of tourism on the Autobahn, and honest frozen food packaging.

This week we have Berlin tour guide extraordinaire Jonny Whitlam joining Nic & producer Simon for an Easter trip through the world of tour guiding in the German capital. We find out what makes a good tour group, the most visited spots, and why Jonny doesn’t buy into Berliner’s nostalgia for the “good old days”. We also take some time to discuss Jonny’s new podcast History Flakes.

After weeks away, Dili returns and wastes no time by dropping bombs on her erstwhile co-host Nic. I think we can agree he probably deserves it, which is why Producer Simon gets in on the act too. Dili shares her discovery of a new Mexican restaurant, Nic reports back from another adventure to Nürnberg for St Patrick's Day, and Producer Simon tells us about an invasive mosquito coming to Germany.
