Decades From Home - A Podcast About Germany

With over two decades of living in Germany between them, Nic and Dili, host a podcast about Germany filled with news, articles, and stories that show the many different sides to German life.

  1. 1 DAY AGO

    Ep 205: Tactile Cinema

    We welcome the fantastic Kinocow back to the pod after a week of politcal turmoil. While eyes were on the results of the US elections, the German government collapsed itself in a show of solidarity. We sift through the rubble and wonder what might happen next. We also talk to Kinocow about his love of movies, differences between Indian and German films, and his love of Berlin cinemas.

    Ep 204: Pony Express

    It’s been an exciting week for our hosts, Kat’s in Vienna, Simon's been in his garden, and Nic, well he got a haircut. OK, maybe only Kat has had an exciting week, but wait till you hear about Simon’s new topiary! We also bring you the controversy over Russian songstress Helene Fischer and her new album, the financial crisis in German hospitals, and the distribution of Germany's first legal weed.

    Ep 203: Horror in Duisburg

    It’s pretty scary on the podcast this week, although it’s nothing to do with Halloween, and more to do with Germany’s Women’s Football Team having a horror story against Australia. We discuss this, and also find time for teachers in Hessen complaining about Daylight Savings, apocalypse bunkers in Saxony-Anhalt, and a special pizza in Düsseldorf.

    Ep 202: Haferflocken Hell

    It’s an action packed episode this week, which isn’t good news for Nic who seems to be a little under the weather. Luckily Kat has a sure fire remedy to perk him up. We also review the vote and various controversies over the 2024 Jugendwort des Jahres, find time to discuss the media panic in England over the appointment of Thomas Tuchel, and we finish with Germany's new AI influencer.

    Ep 201: Hey Prude

    It’s back to school, or rather university, this week as Nic returns to the classroom for another semester of inspiring students with jazzy Powerpoint slides. We also discuss why an opera ended with 18 audience members needing medical attention, and turn our attention to the curious case of the death of a neo-nazi on Hitler's favourite mountain.

    Ep 200: Two Centuries From Home

    Well look at that, we’ve made it two whole centuries of podcast episodes, who would have thought! Continuing a tradition established way back in episode 100, we’ve collected some of the most asked questions about Germany from across the internet (well, Reddit) and we attempt to bring the knowledge with all the authority that 12,000 minutes of podcasting has bestowed upon us.

    Ep 199: Kurbis Your Enthusiasm

    It’s feeling autumnal this week, probably because of all the pumpkins we keep seeing around the place. Nic has seen piles of them at the side of the road, and Dili’s found a novel way of getting a discount when she needs a Kurbis. Nic wishes the Oktoberfest had a discount as he reports back on Oktoberfest, and we finish on government plans for national service.

    Ep 198: Procrastination Eis

    On the show this week, Nic has a run in with the Bishop of Augsburg, we discuss the election results in Brandenburg and what it all means for Germany, and we finish on a surprise invitation to Oktoberfest.
