Americans in Germany Drinking Whiskey Americans in Germany Drinking Whiskey

Long time, no see! Yes, it's been a hot minute since the last time we spoke with you guys, but we just got the urge to say hello. We're back in this one-off episode to discuss what we've both been up to since the end of the podcast and react to some recent news in Germany. Let's go!

We have unfortunately reached the last episode of the AGDW podcast. What an absolutey bitter sweet moment. Both of us are eternally grateful for all of the love, support and dedication everyone has shown us over the past three and a half years. While we are sad the podcast has come to an end, we aren’t going anywhere! We we will continue to give you fun and educational (slightly) content about living in Germany, however from now on it’ll be via our brand new YouTube channel! This last episode is a retrospective of sorts as we look back on the past 147 episodes and give you insights about the production of the podcast and what it’s meant to us. Once you’ve completed the episode feel free to come check us out here on YouTube!

Here it is. The one you've been secretly hoping for, but for which you will regret actually receiving. Here is the infamous "lost episode" of the AGDW podcast. This was meant to be the original 2nd episode of the entire series, a little over 3 years ago. At the time, we had the bright idea of recording two episodes every time we met up. This meant, by the time we recorded the second episode that day, we were a bit...how do you say...full of beer and whiskey. The result is an episode that we both felt was so bad that we never released it and recorded an entirely new episode to replace it. The actual topic is culture shock and involves us reflecting on the main differences we experienced between the USA and Germany. Please, be warned, this is not a good episode. We're releasing it now as an odd treat for those of you who have been with us from the beginning and have asked whether or not we'd ever release the "lost episode." Well, unfortunately, here it is!

You guys sent in really fun questions for this week's "Q & A" episode! Unfortunately, it was a little bitter sweet as it is mostly likely the last Q & A episode of the AGDW podcast. We love hearing from you guys, which is why these tend to be our favourites and you all did not disappoint! We answered some great questions about living in Germany, and about ourselves! Thank you to EVERYONE who has sent us questions over the years.
